What type of measurements are used to calculate your footprint?

In discussing environmental issues "footprint" is the impact you have on the world or the ecosystem.
The calculation of footprint is generally very poorly done due to the complexity of the impacts involved, both gives and takes. As an example "carbon footprint" is generally considered to be the amount of greenhouse gases equivalent expressed as carbon dioxide that an individual releases - this could include direct fuel consumption, power consumed to manufacture household goods, methane released from cattle used in food production, reduction in carbon sinks through forestry products consumption and so on on the impact side and the impacts of recycling, reduced fuel consumption and Birth Control on the positive sde.
There are several non-renewable resources that cpuld be treated in the same way - you could have a "Petroleum footprint" or a "Helium footprint" as well.

Why do oceanographers takes measurements of the conductivity of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
Why do oceanographers take measurements of the of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
What type of thermometer is used by a scientist?
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
Which of the following sets of measurements can be used to calculate acceleration?
change in time, initial velocity and final velocity
Which measurements would not be used to solve for average speed?
There are too many measurements that wouldn't have to be made in order to calculate an average speed. The only measurements that would matter in the most general example are the distance travelled and the time it took.
What is a double beam?
It's a type of mechanical scales used for accurate measurements.
Where is the Discrete Fourier Transform used?
The Discrete Fourier Transform is used with digitized signals. This would be used if one was an engineer as they would use this to calculate measurements required.
What type of baseball bat is used in the major?
Any type of Wooden Bat. I don't know the measurements though.
What is a double beam balance?
It's a type of mechanical scales used for accurate measurements.
How are equations used in physical science?
Eauations are used in physical science to find measurements. For example, you can calculate force using the equation F=m*a.You can find density, speed and other measurements using equations.Hope this helps

What is the size of a water footprint?
There is no actual one size of a water footprint, a water footprint is determined by the amount of water used related to the consumption of people. The four major factors used in figuring out the water footprint of a country are the volume of consumption, the consumption pattern, climate and the agricultural practice. the global average water footprint is 1240 m^3/cap/yr.
