.... with those impacts. New technologies carry increasing risks, and the scale, frequency, and impacts of disaster caused or influenced by human activity are growing tremendously. The risks to the Earth¡¦s natural systems are becoming significantly concerning. The world¡¦s population, currently 5.2 billion has grown from about 3 billion in 1960, and around 2 billion in 1925. Today it increased by almost 90 million each year, and is likely to reach 10 billion by 2025(Corson 4). The reason we currently have an atmosphere crisis is because of human impact on the gases which make up our atmosphere. Our atmosphere, which is made up of four distinct layers blankets our planet ....

.... was natural for people in the south because it was readily available. Being around big happy plants all the time helps people in the south happy by giving them something to take their mind off of life for a while. Garden Geraniums may reach the size of a bush in warm, dry climates (Garden Geranium 1). Again, the bright colored flowers make any bouquet of flowers complete. It is very hard to get any Geraniums to grow in short and cold growing seasons, like in the Pacific Northwest. It was very easy to grow and pick the beautiful flowers in the south. Wisteria is in the legume family of woody, climbing plants. The best know Wisteria are Chinese, but American are just ....

.... and nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen oxides can react with hydrocarbons in the prescence of sunlight to produce a form of oxygen called o-zone. O-zone(O³) is the chief component of photochemical smog, which is a common form of . Fuel combustion for heating and cooling homes,offices,buildings, and factories contribute significantly to . Electric power plants that burn coal or oil in also releases pollutants into the atmosphere. The major pollutants from these source are nitrogen- oxides, sulfur-oxides, and carbon dioxide. The rapid growth of population and industry, and the increased use of automobiles and airplanes has made a very serious and complicated problem ....

.... will give us a better look at what may happen. In order to understand the Y2K bug we must first understand what it is. For many years electronic storage was very expensive. In the early days of computing a Megabyte or a million bytes of information could have cost up to $100,000 to store electronically. This same amount of information storage can now cost around ten cents. Because of this expensive storage limitation code written for these older computers was compressed in any way possible. One way to cut down the size of code was to compress dates to a format only six characters long. So instead of April 14 1999 the date would be compressed to 4/14/99. At the time ....

.... absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere, and protects humans from skin cancer. But ozone is also the main ingredient of smog, and causes serious health effects and forest and crop damage in the lower atmosphere. Ozone is formed through the chemical reaction of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen dioxide, in the atmosphere, in the presence of sunlight. This reaction is called a photochemical reaction, because sunlight is required. The product is known as smog. The notorious brownish color of smog is due to nitrogen dioxide of the mixture. Increased temperature stimulate the reaction, which is why ozone conditions are worse in the summer. It ....

.... ion that is isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas., the substance is held together by electrostatic forces between the ions. The tendency for these ions to be formed by elements is corespondent to the octet rule, when atoms react,, they tend to do so in such a way that they attain an outer shell containing eight electrons. The factors that effect the formation of ions are ionization energy, electron affinity, lattice energy. Figure 1 The transfer of electrons involved in the formation of (a) sodium chloride and (b) calcium fluoride. Each atom forms an ion with an outer shell containing eight electrons. For many elements, compounds cannot be formed by the production of ....

.... to far. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan should have caused alarms to sound in people's heads…"Danger, danger!" Just one of these bombs has the ability to wipe out an entire country. The United States did make an attempt after World War II at eliminating nuclear proliferation by proposing the Baruch Plan in the United Nations. This proposal stated that all nuclear technology and materials be placed under international ownership and that all nuclear weapons be destroyed. However, the Soviet Union feared that the United States would always have a military advantage if they gave up their plans for building a nuclear device and, therefore, rejected the p ....

.... advantages for accessing the Internet and Cox Communications Inc. provides the best value for the dollar. They claim to beat any competitor in terms of price and value. Cox Communication Internet service is called @Home. The following is a current price list and is also available at www.coxrevolution.com. One important feature of Cox@Home is definitely the speed. Accessing the Internet is up to 100 times faster than a 28.8 modem because of the high bandwidth that is available through coaxial cable lines. A 28.8 modem can transmit data at a rate of 28,800 bits per second. Cox@Home cable modems can transmit data at 1,500,000 - 3,000,000 bits per second saving t ....
