Essays on Sea Level

There are several strategies to improve environmental health. One of the strategies is green mobility. Green mobility involves minimizing the energy consumption when it comes to transportation. For instance, it involves using alternative methods of transportation that do not result in air pollution, such as the use of a bicycle. In addition, we can ensure the placement of quality standards for the biological, chemical and physical features of drinking water (Van der Staal, 2011). Some of the tests and stated limits are the ones that relate to the pH and microorganisms, which include the marker agents like Cryptosporidium, faecal ...

Q1. A 200mm diameter pipeline divides into two smaller pipelines, one being 100mm in diameter and the other being 150mm in diameter. If the velocity in the 100mm pipe is 0.3m/s and that in the 150mm is 0.6m/s, calculate the flowrate in litres/s and the velocity in m/s in the 200mm pipe. [ 13 l/s, 0.413m/s] Solution: Flow Rate = (pi/4)(0.1)2(0.3) + (pi/4)(0.15)2(0.6) = 0.01296 cubicmeters/sec = 12.96 l/sec. (ans.). Velocity = (Flow Rate)/(Area) = [0.01296]/[(pi/4)(0.1)2] = 0.4125 m/s. Q2. If the specific volume of water is 0.001251 m3 /kg. calculate:

Executive Summary In this study, the city wanted to determine the economic value of the Sharp Park and the surrounding coastal trail. Instinctively, one may think of lost revenues, or possible income which may be generated by keeping the golf course. However, in the study, it has been determined that the amount earned from the golf course is actually much lesser than the amount required to maintain such. In fact, the city does not even earn from such property. The expense is greater than the revenues generated. But in the course of the research, it has been ascertained that ...

Climate Change

Earth is the only planet in the universe that supports life, and this uniqueness is attributable to its optimal temperature and climatic conditions. Earth’s temperature is affected by variations in solar energy that reach earth, changes is earth surface as well as atmospheric reflectivity, as well as changes in concentration of greenhouse gases (EPA, 2016). Earth’s distance, rotation in its axis and revolution around sun in its orbit primarily determine change of seasons in earth, as well as its climatic patterns. Variations in light reflectivity or albedo of various surface features on earth also contribute to climate ...

Article “Antarctic ice may melt more quickly than expected”

The first article published on CBC news describes the problem of melting of the glaciers in Antarctic. According to the article, it is expected that the sea level would rise by 46 to 86 centimetres by the year of 2100, which is much more that it had been expected before. The scientists identified that the main reasons of this are warmer air, less frigid water and gravity. Moreover, the forecasts also predict that by 2500 the seas might become 13 metres higher, which will be caused only by ice melting. However, as scientists believe, the rise of the sea ...

On March 28, 2016, National Geographic published an online article about the increased risk of earthquakes and its correlation with the human activities (Gilman, 2016). Most people believe that earthquakes are natural hazards caused by tectonic plate movement, but the article written by Sarah Gilman shows that earthquakes in Oklahoma region including some parts of Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado, and Arkansas are human-induced. The article talks about the oil industry’s impact on the increased risk of earthquakes in the area, and this impact is mostly caused by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling. Gilman shows that there ...

The main purpose of this research paper is to discuss whether there is any proof and evidence of global climate change, as the debates about this question have been conducted until nowadays. First, it should be mentioned here that any climate change is a long-lasting considerable change in any statistical form of weather pattern`s distribution for different time periods that can vary from years and decades to thousands and millions of years. For example, it can be a change in weather conditions, or distribution of them per average conditions. It`s usually caused by different factors of biotic origin like ...

1.Jupiter was the first. Giant lies just beyond the frost line. As the frost line accumulated great amounts of water via evaporation from infalling icy material, it created a zone of lower pressure that increased the speed of orbiting dust particles and halted their motion toward the Sun. As a result , the frost line acted as a barrier whice lead material to accumulate. This excess material coalesced into a huge embryo of around 10 Earth masses, which then began to grow rapidly by swallowing hydrogen from the surrounding disc, reaching 150 Earth masses in only another 1000 years and finally topping out at ...

Introduction

Science fiction and disaster films often must take dramatic liberties with science and truth in order to serve a greater narrative purpose; events are compressed, effects are exaggerated, and realism and physics are thrown out the window in order to provide greater drama and spectacle (Revkin, 2004). In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich in 2004, the world is subjected to global disasters brought about by climate change. The effects are myriad; global cooling sets New York in a coating of ice and freezing temperatures, glaciers crack and separate, and a “superstorm” is said to cause rapid climate ...

Introduction A tsunami (“a wave in port” in Japanese) are the marine gravity waves that are extremely large in length and height, and are the result of the up or down shift of ocean bottom areas with strong underwater and coastal earthquakes, occasionally, though, are the result of volcanic eruptions and other tectonic processes. Tsunamis are among those few natural disasters that are capable of causing huge numbers. First chapter of this research is dedicated to the causes of tsunami, wave formation mechanism, and waves’ various characteristics. The topic of the conducted research is highly relevant to our area if ...

A combination of the tropical wave and the tropical depression was formed over the Southeastern Bahamas on August 23rd, which was the beginning of hurricane Katrina. The following day this formation was labeled as a tropical storm and given its name, Katrina. This tropical storm was approaching towards Florida, and it was not considered a hurricane until it hit Hallandale Beach and Aventura on August 25th (Zimmerman, 2012). The intensity of the storm reduced as it approached land but it regained the pressure an hour prior to entering the Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane moved from category 3 to category 5 ...

Is global climate caused by human activities?

Currently, the question on whether human activities cause global warming has sparked debates from environmental experts. The massive growth of the population has increased growth of consumption, and this poses threats to the global climate. The rise of the earth’s temperature is mainly caused by the gases released by greenhouses, especially carbon dioxide. It is saddening to note that the climatic changes affect the physical and biological systems across the universe. Global warming can only be decreased if the carbon output released by human activities is reduced. The Journal of Climate published a paper by Jara Imbers, Chris Huntingford, ...

Background/Literature Review

Nature causes all floods despite the fact that some manmade activities also contribute in flooding. The developed nations on the globe including UK and the United States do suffer from losses caused by flooding (Natural Disasters-Floods). For instance, the New Orleans Hurricane Katrina that took place between 2005 and 2009 were intensified due to manmade activities (Shrum, 2014).

Classification of Flooding

Floods can be classified into river and coastal floods. Mandych (2011) defined river floods as inundations of river valleys that are caused by high waters running downstream. This is the most frequent and widespread type of floods. He added that river ...

Carbon dioxide is an odorless, non-combustible gas that could be both beneficial and threatening to the environment. This gas is inherently part of the earth’s biogeochemical cycle and is as equally important as other naturally occurring gases in the earth’s atmosphere. While carbon dioxide provides benefits to plants via photosynthesis, its effect on the atmosphere at high levels may induce modifications in the naturally occurring changes in climate all over the world. To date, carbon dioxide has been put into a spotlight as the main cause of anthropogenic climate change. Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have ...

Tourism’s basic purpose is to visit other places, cultures, traditions and expand one’s experience of the world. That is why Murphy (2013) argued that tourism is natural renewable resource industry in which visitors visit only to admire. However, tourism is so popular that this industry is producing 5% of the world GDP currently (“United Nations Environment Programme,” 2014). Hence, with the growing amount of money in tourism, the tourism industry is becoming recklessly extravagant when it comes to exploiting resources and harming the planet. But in tourism, sustainability is important to avoid noxious effects on people, environment ...

A community is made up of a group of people living in close proximity to one another and is united by similar goals. The latter part of that statement is actually very crucial because it is what determines whether or not a community can sustain itself for a long time. The strength of the people’s unity and their ability to settle on their community goals are indicators of just how much they can coexist with one another. Coexisting, after all, is the main essence of a community. And there is no better way to demonstrate coexistence than by formulating a comprehensive plan.

This term paper explores the issue of weather affecting pollution in major cities. In a major city, where there can be a higher proportion of pollution sources in a relatively small geographical area, the effects are likely to be more distinct and concentrated. Whilst there are several causes of air pollution, it is known that the air quality at any given time can be affected by the prevailing weather conditions. For example, strong winds can rapidly transport pollutants released into the air great distances from the originating source. Conversely, in conditions when there is very light wind or in still air, the ...

Industrial Pollution Effects on Global Warming

Introduction Changing climate is also changing our economies, health and communities in almost every part of the world. The fast and rapid industrialization in the past increased the need of thermal power plants and other industries run by fossil fuels. They contributed in atmospheric changes drastically by emitting different pollutants including Co2, CO, SOx and NOx. They have not only threatened the environment by global warming but also give rise to acid rains. These acid rains destroyed forests that are the major sink of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide (Held & Soden, 2006). The variety of chemical emission including ...

Global warming, a term that is common in the world today. It refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's temperature continuously. Scientist have made a discovery that 90% of this warmth is happening at the sea and the other on land and air. This s increase has been more pronounced in the 20th century as a research by the scientists shows. The need to find out the reason for this has driven scientists to great lengths to try and find out if human beings are responsible. The attempt to explain this is controversial, but many of the researchers ...

Global Warming Introduction Global warming is the increase in the average global temperatures that is caused by buildup of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the common greenhouse gas; however others like methane, nitrogen oxides are quantitatively measured on the basis of carbon dioxide equivalents. Air pollution is the main source of the greenhouse gases, especially from industrial settings. Therefore, human activities are the primary causes of global warming through industrial growth, transportation, continued reliance on fossil fuels and removal of carbon sinks. Report by Weart indicated that, the atmospheric temperatures will increase by approximately 1.8-4.0 degrees Celsius by ...
