.... allows to distribute itself further away from its source causing more than local problems. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is released by fossil fuels when they undergo combustion. Power plants and other fossil fuel burning industrial areas release various forms of nitrous oxides. These two chemical compounds combine with the water in the atmosphere to form what is known as . The negative effects has on the environment is the main reason legislation of industrial emissions from governments has been prompted. is harmful to the environment because of its low pH. It can harm the biotic components of earth, and also the abiotic components. It's high acidity degrades soil .....

.... cloning humans is one that we should accept as a possible reality for the future. The initial public response to this news, here and abroad, was primarily one of concern. In some cases, these concerns were amplified by largely fictional and mistaken accounts of how this new technology might dramatically reshape the future of our society. The sources of these feelings were complex, but usually centered around the basic fact that this technique would permit human procreation in an asexual manner, would allow for an unlimited number of genetically identical offspring, and would control over the genetic profile of our children (Hopkins, 8). Eugenics is accompl .....

.... unethically disturbing. The of humans would mean the process of experimenting with human life! We might not be able to relate to livestock but we CAN relate to humans. As President Clinton stated-"Attempting to clone a human being is unacceptably dangerous and morally unacceptable to our society..legislation must reaffirm our most cherished beliefs about the miracle of human life and the god-given individuality each person pocesses". Every person has his or her own mind. It would be cruel to make human clones without real parents, without being unique. If you were to make a copy of a human, you would not be treating that child as an individual. Wh .....

.... London is world famous for its episodes of industrial smog. The most famous London smog event occurred in December, 1952 when five days of calm foggy weather created a toxic atmosphere that claimed about 4000 human lives. Today, the use of other fossil fuels, nuclear power, and hydroelectricity instead of coal has greatly reduced the occurrence of industrial smog. However, the burning of fossil fuels like gasoline can create another atmospheric pollution problem known as photochemical smog. Photochemical smog is a condition that develops when primary pollutants (oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds created from fossil fuel combustion) interact u .....

.... step in the birth of a hurricane. With the lid off, the warm, moist air rises higher and higher. Heat energy, released as the water vapor in the air condenses. As it condenses it drives the upper drafts to heights of 50,000 to 60,000 feet. The cumuli become towering thunderheads. From outside the storm area, air moves in over the sea surface to replace the air soaring upwards in the thunderheads. The air begins swirling around the storm center, for the same reason that the air swirls around a tornado center. As this air swirls in over the sea surface, it soaks up more and more water vapour. At the storm center, this new supply of water vapor gets pulled .....

.... sources say that the Earth can support this exponential growth rate, others say that it cannot. Some of these sources recount statistics of a slowing population growth, however, the most appalling facts are that the planet Earth's water resources are depleted now. How can we allow the population to grow unchecked, when we know that even now, the Earth's water supplies are taxed to the limit? The subject of over-population encompasses many areas of study. Some examples are health, food, pollution and fresh water. The underlying link between all of these areas is water. The following four articles reveal that the water supplies that we all depend on are being use .....

.... can also find between 2,000 to 2,500 minerals in the earths crust. Minerals are formed in a positive response to their environment, most of them to deep for an observer. Environments in which minerals are formed far beneath the earths surface are plutonic igneous, pegmatitic, hot temperature vein, moderate temp. vein, low temp. vein, and a metamorphic environment. Environments in which minerals form near the earths surface are groundwater, weathering, and sedimentary. Minerals are divided into groups on the basis of their composition. About one third of all mineral belong to the group silicates. Other groups are carbonates they includes calcite, oxide whi .....

.... occur no matter where the asteroid hit. Land, sea it doesn't matter. Ocean impact would create a number of things. First, a Tsunami(tidal wave) would be created on impact. The wave would be hundreds for feet high traveling hundreds of miles per hour. It would start to slow down crashing ashore through all coastal city. Then, finally wash up hundreds for miles inland. " The mid-Atlantic Ocean impact ranging from 400 meters to 5 kilometers in diameter. This would generate a tsunami that would sweep across the upper East Coast of the United States to the Appalachian Mountains."(Gottschalk 1) The blast of the impact would equal a 300 gigaton blast of T.N.T. Also, 2 .....
