Identify one product that you use for each of the categories on the Home Chemicals activity sheet. If you do not use a particular category of product, simply enter the phrase “do not use” and explain why.
EVR1001C- Lab: Resource / Waste – Home Chemicals Identify one product that you use for each of the categories on the Home Chemicals activity sheet. If you do not use a particular category of product, simply enter the phrase “do not use” and explain why. For example, if you do not use pet care products, […]
Convert this value to knots, where 1 m s-1 = 1.94 kts. How well does the observation match the calculation? Draw two arrows depicting the balance between the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force on the map in 2b.
Lab 8 – The Geostrophic Wind and ENSO All questions subsets are worth 5 points. 1.) Recall that the Coriolis force can be computed as where V is the wind speed (in ms-1), is the earth’s angular rotation rate about its axis, and is the latitude. On an isobaric map, the pressure gradient force is […]
Present a series of paragraphs that discuss the risk of the toxicant, the potential for exposure or likelihood that it would be found locally in our food or water, and potential effects of the concentration levels found. Find real data for the concentrations that have been found and discuss this information.
Disscution-1 For this discussion please conduct research on a contaminant that has been found in our food and/or water. Conduct a literature review for a specific contaminant that has been found in food and/or water and find at least three references, two of which must be journal articles. You can have more than three references. […]

Explain in your own words how scientists have determined that a large surplus of carbon in the air is from the human activities of burning fossil fuels. Describe 5 ways that we could supply the world with energy without using fossil fuels.
Investigate Your Fossil Fuels Consumption To aid us in our estimation, we will use the online Fossil Fuels Calculator that will convert the measurable items that we use into amounts of fossil fuel that have been consumed. This calculator is able to do this based upon some assumptions about the mix of fuel in this […]
Wind and solar energy are two renewable sources that will be available forever. In your opinion, how big a part will wind play in the energy portfolio of the world?
Answer the question Wind and solar energy are two renewable sources that will be available forever. In your opinion, how big a part will wind play in the energy portfolio of the world? Discuss the cost of 1MWh of wind energy. Compare it to the cost from other sources. The retail price of 1MWh (what […]
Identify a local environmental challenge. Summarize the local environmental challenge. Support your summary with at least 2 sources from the University Library, reputable environmental groups, or government websites.
People, Science And The Environment Assignment Content A local middle school science teacher is teaching students how information collected about the health of the environment can be used to positively change human behavior. The class wants to learn about a local environmental challenge and if there are any related local regulations or policies. They also […]
Examine your current water use and then examine several lifestyle changes that could reduce your overall water usage.
EVR1001C- Lab: Water use and conservation In this activity, you will be asked to examine your current water use and then examine several lifestyle changes that could reduce your overall water usage. To do this you’ll be using an online water calculator that asks you to provide some information about water-using activities and uses this […]
