Acid Rain
505 Words - 2 Pages.... are sulfur and nitrogen. Then the coal is burned
some of the sulfur changes into sulfur dioxide and nitrogen changes into
nitrogen oxide. These escape in to the air as poisonous gases. Some smokestacks
release chemicals like mercury, arsenic, and aluminum. Some of these minerals
are changed in to gases and others become tiny specks of ash. As these
chemicals drift, they may change again. They may react with other chemicals in
the air. When sulfur dioxide combines with water, the result is sulfuric acid.
When nitrogen oxide gas combines with water, the result is also another acid.
When the clouds releases rain or other precipitation, the acid goes with it.
This is called ....

Acid Rain 6

Nitric oxide and nitric dioxide are also components of acid rain. Its mainly caused by exhaust fumes. Like sulphur dioxide, the nitrogen oxides rise into the atmosphere and are oxidized in clouds to form nitric acid.
One of the most serious impacts of acid precipitation is on forests and soils. A lot of damages are being done when the sulphuric acid falls onto the earth as rain. All the nutrients in the soils are washed away making it hard for some plants to grow. The presence of nitrogen oxide and nitric oxide also can force trees to grow even though they do not have the necessary nutrients. The trees are sometimes forced to grow during late autumn when it ....

UFOs: We Are Not Alone
1554 Words - 6 Pages.... searching for the remains of a downed marine
C-46 transport lost somewhere in the mount ranier area, a young idahoan
businessman named kenneth arnold spotted something that would change his life
forever. Just north of his position flying at an altitude of 9,500 feet and an
unprecedented airspeed of 1,700 mph he spotted nine circular aircraft flying in
formation and according to his estimate the aircraft were approximately the size
of a dc-4 airliner ( jackson 4).
This account was the first sighting to ever receive a great deal of
media attention. This sighting gave birth to the phrase "flying saucer" coined
by a reporter named bill begrette. Although not the first ufo s ....

Computer Viruses
3907 Words - 15 Pages.... interfering with its hardware and operating system. Viruses are designed to replicate and to avoid detection.
In recent years have caused a great deal of damage to personal computers and computer systems around the world. The damage can be extensive; mostly due to the loss of time spent recovering the infected data. A computer virus in a system is one of the worst things that can happen to a computer user. Still, many specialists insist that it is possible to use the replication mechanism of for some useful and beneficial purposes. In this paper I will examine the question of why computer users consider to be a bad thing and why they reject the idea of having a computer ....

Comets
275 Words - 1 Pages.... in 1949 that the nucleus, containing practically all the mass of the
comet, is a “dirty snowball” conglomerate of ices and dust. Major proofs of the
snowball theory rest on various data. For one, of the observed gases and
meteoric particles that are ejected to provide the coma and tails of comets,
most of the gases are fragmentary molecules, or radicals, of the most common
elements in space: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The radicals, for
example, of CH, NH, and OH may be broken away from the stable molecules CH4
(methane), NH3 (ammonia), and H2O (water), which may exist as ices or more
complex, very cold compounds in the nucleus. Another fact in suppor ....

Protein Synthesis
336 Words - 2 Pages.... Translation-
Translation of RNA occurs when the transcribed RNA from the nucleus , which is now called messanger RNA [mRNA] as it contains the protein information. This mRNA leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore, DNA is too large a molecule to do this, to the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm there are free transfer RNA [tRNA] molecules which hve three protruding bases these sets of three on the tRNA are called anti-codons. Each tRNA molecule attracts different amino acids, of which there are around twenty, and they "stick" to the tRNA and depending on which tRNA molecule it is it wil attract a diferent amino-acid.On the RNA every three bases are called codons these are compl ....

Geoloy Of Mars
335 Words - 2 Pages.... and that changes take place in the surface features when the seasons change. It is also known that dust storms are prevalent and leaves the surface of Mars covered by a red haze. Mars has a very thin atmosphere which is composed of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, water vapor and oxygen. Mars also has no magnetic field. " Because the atmosphere of mars is so thin, wind velocities up to several hundred Km per hour are required to raise the dust particles during a dust storm, and these fast- moving particles erode structures with a sand-blasting effect " (Grolier, 1992). Therefore, the surface is basically plain-like and covered with large craters. There are also some areas ....

Chinese Shih Poetry And Philos
1127 Words - 5 Pages.... T’ao Ch’ien expressed both, through their poetry.
Confucianism is based on the ideas of Confucius, the man who gave the school of thought its name. The main goal of Confucianists was to return a gentlemanly society to China. The core of Confucianism concerned social structure. Confucius taught that a man should respect and obey those of higher rank than himself, whether they be the father of a family, or the emperor of a nation. But even with absolute obedience, Confucianists believed that men should practice restraint and benevolence in those inferior to them. At the same time, those in high status were expected to lead virtuous lives, and to set examples for thos ....
