Essays on Lake

There are several subglacial basins in East Antarctica but Lake Vostok is the most interesting for scientists, as its conditions are close to the ones on Europa – the Jupiter’s moon. So, the results of the exploration of Lake Vostok can shed light on one of the most important issues in astronomy – whether there could be living organisms somewhere besides Earth. The subglacial lakes are the subjects to low temperatures (nearly -3 degrees Celsius), high pressure (about 350 atmospheres) and constant darkness (montana.edu). When drilling, the scientists found out that the temperature of the air is -89 degrees Celsius ...

My girlfriend, Bella, short for Anabel, had that look of expectation toward a great summer when she saw me. As I drove to my apartment after parting ways with my friends, she talked about all sorts of things including how we planned ...

Engineers, like other professionals, are constantly seized with ethical dilemmas in their line of work and, while they understand that every choice they make will sometimes cause irreparable damage to the community. For example, an environmental engineer of a plant that discharge its effluent into a lake may face an ethical dilemma when making an environmental assessment since he or she may be tempted to falsify the report not to implicate the firm at the expense of societal welfare. Take the case of Judy, a lady in the male dominated engineering profession, who, at a social dinner the man ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

The subject of disrespect or unfairness is a box of paradoxes. Men rebuking men, men rebuking women, women rebuking men, and women rebuking women have remained an issue in human civilization. Right from the time of the early civilizations, there is enough evidence to show that disrespect of other people in various forms existed, and despite the cry for equality, such disrespect continues unabated. Disrespecting or abusing people in the name of religious or political beliefs, ethnic or racial origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation can be seen in college campuses, and places of work, all around the ...

Reciprocating engines is a well-known technology which can be used in automobiles, trucks, construction equipment, marine propulsion, and backup power applications. It involves the expansion of hot gases to push a piston within a cylinder, converting the linear movement of the piston into the rotating movement of a crankshaft to generate power. While the steam engines that powered the industrial revolution were driven by externally-produced steam, modern reciprocating engines used for electric power generation are internal combustion engines in which an air-fuel mixture is compressed by a piston and ignited within a cylinder. Reciprocating internal combustion (IC) engines are characterized by the type of combustion: ...

Summer is the time of pleasure and excitement. Since my childhood, I have always enjoyed my summers by going on long trips and exploring new places.

While Child Protective Services might find the dance that unfolds in Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz” to be a bit unsightly, it is clearly an event that the little boy enjoys, finding it a moment of bonding with his father. The fact that the boy’s “mother’s countenance/Could not unfrown itself”(Roethke 7-8) suggests that she disapproves of the father drinking. Indeed, the father has had more than a couple of shots, as the mere smell of it on his father’s breath turns the boy dizzy. This use of alcohol may well be just a form of solace after a long ...

Difference between freshwater lakes and oceans in terms of the formation of ice

Ocean ice is found in Polar Regions. It covers an area of 25 million square kilometers. Ocean ice forms on the surface of the ocean. It grows and melts above oceans. During winter, ocean ice grows but melts during summer (Thompson & William 1). The occurrence of ocean ice has a direct influence on the global climate. Ocean ice has a bright surface that reflects most of the light that strikes it. The co sequence of this phenomenon is that areas that the ocean ice covers have low absorption of solar energy (Ilker 149). In this regard, the temperatures in the solar ...
