Why did obama refuse help from other countries concerning the oil spill?
The answer is simple...he didn't. FactCheck.org, a non-partisan organization that investigates political mud-slinging addressed this issue recently and determined it's baseless. This is just another example of a political party throwing any garbage possible against the wall to see what will stick. As most people don't have or don't exercise any critical thinking skills, it's easy to create an illusion like this by just repeating it over and over. Perception is reality right? Or is the better quote, there's a sucker born every minute?
Don't take my word for it, do your own research. If integrity means anything to you, validate your news sources.
How can you tell rain is acid rain?
acid rain is made acidic by pollution in the air. acid rain erodes stone buildings , statues and kills plants and fish .
Does hydroelectricity prevent pollution?
It depends on what type of water related potential energy you are tapping into to generate the power. There are essentially four types:
* Tidal power where you use the tides to fill abasindururing high tide and drain the water through a turbine during ebb and low tdes. * Wave power where you use the oscillation of the waves to activate pumps or turbine to store water at an elevation or generate power directly * Hydropower generated by water diverted from a natural reservoir where it originally fell over a cliff and now powers your turbines * Essentially the same as the above but the water is contained in a reservoir you construct by damming a river or stream then use the head to power your generators. All of these systems pollute and degrade the environment in some small measure by the construction of their infrastructure (roads, power lines, control buildings etc)
Only the creation of reservoirs has an ongoing emission, that is methane from the anaerobic decomposition of vegetation at the bottom of the reservoir.
What are the three major pollution?
The three major types of pollution are air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Sometimes, air pollution is visible. A person can see dark smoke pour from the exhaust pipes of large trucks or factories, for example. More often, however, air pollution is invisible.
Would a nuclear bomb destroy a tornado?
I love questions like this!
Answer:
Maybe. It would depend on how big the nuke was and how big the tornado was. But even if it worked, it would not change the large-scale conditions that caused the tornado and it would probably form again.....and stir up a lot of radioactive rubbish.
AnswerYes. (There ain't no "maybe" about it!) The minimum yield for a nuke would overwhelm even an EF5 (Enhanced Fujita Scale). It may not disperse a supercell source, which could then regroup and make another or other twisters. Remember that for an atomic blast to happen, a "threshold" must be crossed. Critical mass must be achieved, and there will be a minimum energy that a weapon will release when it goes off. The blast will make any tornado disappear. Anyone who does not think so overestimates the tornado or underestimates the nuclear weapon - or both. AnswerMaybe. It's interesting to remember that, decades ago, nukes were considered as a way to blast a sea-level canal near the existing Panama Canal. Nukes were considered as a way to divert the path of hurricanes. The plans were abandoned because of the undesirable side effect of radiation debris. Also, consider this: what good would it do to detroy any tornado if the nuke that destroyed it destroyed more than the original tornado might have? Should we destroy a bothersome fly with a hand-grenade? AnswerMaybe. A tornado is formed by a warm air meeting cold air, and without going into to much detail, the temperature difference between the two. If the nuke were dropped dead center, it would probably equalize everything, and the tornado would go away. However, if it were strategically dropped on one side or the other, it could conceivably make it a whole lot worse.Answer
No doubt it could, but it would produce much worse and longer-lasting effects than a tornado would. Decades later we'd be walking around (assuming we could still walk) on 8 legs, be covered in fur, and have 3 eyes.
Answer
The problem here lies in several different factors. Targeting systems for a nuclear weapon are mainly used to pinpoint stationary locations E.G. a military base or a city, or other location. Tornadoes as moving "targets" are extremely difficult to pinpoint let alone lock on. The best way to tell is by a hook signature on Doppler radar and even this is not perfect.
Second, suppose you had a stroke of sheer stupid luck and the weapon detonated at the base of the funnel. It would probably disrupt the rotation but make the updraft much, much worse... and possibly lay the groundwork for another stronger, more horrifying storm than the original tornado you were trying to dissipate. This one would spread radioactive fallout ALL OVER the place.
Thirdly, even if you were successful in breaking up the storm, you would STILL be killing greater numbers of people and injuring more, because the side effects of the bomb. Tornadoes don't cause burns, they don't cause radiation sickness, and they dont cause cancer and other long lasting effects like the bomb does. Such a cure would be far worse than the disease.
Finally, every time we have ever screwed around with Mother Nature, she has ALWAYS found a way to vengefully pay us back. Keep this in mind the next time you decide that you want to nuke a tornado. :-)
hell yeah it will nuclear bombs are based on chemistry it can wipe out almost japan imagine the whole universe but that will take like more than 1000 nuclear bombs
Where can you find a good environment quiz for primary school children and their families?
type in quizmania or something like that. if it gives you an optiuon to type something in, type in eco-friendly quiz or enviromental quiz.
Why domestic wastes is a cause of land pollution?
Because it gets put into huge landfills and it causes soil eurosion
What kinda vinegar do you use to make acid rain?
The acids in acid rain and vinegar are completely different! The acid in vinegar is ethanoic acid, CH3COOH. It is an organic, weak acid that when diluted in water wouldn't be strong enough to cause the damage that acid rain causes. On the other hand, acid rain contains heavily diluted sulphuric acid, H2SO4. This is one of the three strong acids- that can make metals like Magnesium, Mg, completely corrode. Therefore, this acid causes the damage, not ethanoic...
Which food is the best source of calcium to include in your diet?
the best source is milk and milk products. 1 litre of milk gives you 1gm of calcium.
What are the types of pollutants on the basis of origin and persistence?
There are too many possible pollutants to give a satisfactory answer to your question. Salt is not a pollutant in cooking, but it is in drinking water. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant when we breathe it in and out, but it is a serious pollutant in the atmosphere.
Why is stopping littering important to the world?
Littering causes pollution and can, ultimately, kill the environment.
This means no more Bambi, rabbit, or any other animals that depend on herbivores and omnivores. Sorry, environment lovers ):
What are the 7 countries have worst pollution?
Austria - as they have massive smoking manufacturing industries.
Thailand - as they have lots of vehicles making as the world most congested
streets
Philippines - as tons of waste products were not properly disposed
What are gyres and how do they contribute to the formation of garbage patches?
Gyres are large systems of rotating ocean currents, primarily driven by wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. They create areas of relatively stable water, where debris and pollutants can accumulate over time. This accumulation leads to the formation of garbage patches, such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which are characterized by high concentrations of plastic and other waste materials. The circular motion of gyres effectively traps and concentrates this debris, exacerbating ocean pollution.
How do you make 100 ppm solution of Fluoride ion?
I'm going to assume you want 100ppm by mass, since this is really the only way that makes sense with a solid and liquid.
First, you need to get a fluoride salt. I will use sodium fluoride as an example - it may or may not matter which salt depending on what you're trying to do. Be careful, fluoride compounds can be toxic.
Second, you need to figure out what percentage of the salt is actually fluoride. To do this in our example, first look up the molecular weights of sodium and fluorine on a periodic table (the numbers at the bottom of the squares). Sodium (Na) has a molecular weight of 22.989, Fluorine (F) weighs 18.998. Add these to get the total molecular weight of sodium fluoride:
22.989 + 18.998 = 41.987
Now, divide the total weight by the weight of fluorine to get a conversion factor (units of NaF / units of F):
41.987 / 18.998 = 2.21
Third, you need to weigh out your fluorine and water - 100 parts fluorine for every (million - 100) parts water. This reduces to 1 part fluorine per 9,999 parts water (I'll round to 10,000). This is a big difference, so you may need two different scales with different ranges, and it's going to make a bunch of solution.
I'm going to measure in grams, but you could use any measure of weight. First, weight out 10,000 g (10 kg) of water and set it aside. Remember to subtract out the weight of the container when weighing! Next, we need 1 g of fluoride. However, we have sodium fluoride, not fluorine, so we need to use the conversion factor from before:
1 g (F) * 2.21 (NaF / F) = 2.21 g NaF
Weigh out 2.21 g of your salt, add it to the water, and you're done!!!
A problem with this method is you'll end up with a huge amount of solution, and it may be more water than you can easily deal with. To avoid the issue, make the initial solution more concentrated, then dilute it again in a second step. For example, use only 1 / 10th the amount of water, and you'll get a 1,000 ppm solution. You then take 1 / 10th of that solution and add it to 9/10 water in another container. This will give you a 100 ppm solution and you don't have to deal with such a large amount of liquid. You can even add another step for very dilute solutions.
Some people think it is cool to hurt animals so they do it to impress their friends but they are not doing the right thing. no the people that do that are not human not one bit their low life with nothing better to do
Answer
Because they are ignorant and they think there is something cool about it. What they don't realize is how ignorant they really are and that only small minded, mean, and/or stupid people would hurt an animal. Thankfully, laws are changing more all the time to better protect animals from people like that. If parents have not done their job of educating their children properly regarding animals, it will be more likely to happen. Even if someone doesn't LIKE animals there is no need to hurt them. I have never and will never stand by and do nothing if I come across someone hurting an animal. Turn them in to the police if you witness someone hurting an animal. It IS a crime.
Resource pollution means contaminating a given resource. Contamination of water can be considered as a good example of resource pollution.
What kind of bacteria can be found in crude oil polluted water?
Water polluted by crude oil can have almost (or more) bacteria than pure water in any stream. The types of bacteria present may shift to include those able to use the components of the crude as food and those which can utilize or survive in higher levels of salt water or sulfudic compounds.
Answer:
ALSO, if it is the bacteria that converted the fossil into petroleum by consuming some of elements then where is that bacteria? I am sure that there was no special transport away for such microbes. Why because it takes more than our carbon dating years time period to convert the decayed organic into PETROLEUM like fuel and it should and must not be CONFUSED with the BIOFUEL. Since the biofuel or bio gas is far different from Petroleum.
So if at all you wanna know the truth, the only question you have to ask is, WHAT IS THE STRAIN OF THE BACTERIA THAT MADE THE DECAYING ORGANIC LIFE INTO PETROLEUM?
and
BECAUSE it is not a question of bacteria or crude oil but DNA that the petroleum can contain since THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF MULTIPLE DNA BEING PRESENT IN SOME MANNER.
Which pollution is caused by paint industry?
Heavy metals, xylene, other BTEX, Pesticides, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons
Why has it become a common practice for factories to pollute streams and rivers?
This question should have been "Since factories polluted water since their startup in the industrial revolutions, why have they now initiated massive pollution control programs?"Initially there was a tremendous problem with mills, blood boilers, smelters, rendering plants, abattoirs, knackers shows and others. This was caused by their locations (generally in the middle of residential areas and in cities), the lack of pollution control systems, and a disregard for the impact on receiving streams and groundwater. Air pollution was also evident from the smells related to the processes and the massive amount of sulphur dioxide released from the coal used for fuel.
Since that time zoning has regulated where the factories may operate, what waste disposal and water treatment must be in place and what mitigation for other emissions must be employed.
There e has also ben a development of a vocal public, based by scientific findings, to require the industrial sites to reduce pollution and the subsequent impact on people and the environment.
