Chapter 6 was an interesting read which taught about the physical properties of water and how water is the most used solvent as it can dissolve almost any substances. Water is made up of a chemical compound of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Waters are constantly moving and in a process called the hydrologic cycle. This cycle is uses solar radiation to gain energy. This process will help to produce clouds from raising vapors, which will eventually carry rain or snow. Water in the ocean will evaporate in 4,100 years but water in the air evaporates in nine days, very interesting. A water molecule is glued together because of its chemical bonds which is the energy in-between atoms. One new and strange thing to learn about in
Proposition 1 is a water bond proposition that seeks to reinstate the states water shortage. Voting yes for Proposition 1 is the most logical choice because there is nothing more important than water. Voting yes would bring safe drinking water, upgrade water programs and improve water recycling projects. Without Proposition 1 California's economy and its citizens well being would collapse. Vote Prop 1 for safe and reliable water.
Water is a medium for metabolic reactions and an important constituent of cells. In most plants and animals, it makes up about 65-95% of their mass. The water molecule is referred to as a dipole, a polar molecule, with a positive (hydrogen) and negative (oxygen) charge, separated by a very small distance. A molecule with a separated charge is polar. A hydrogen bond; the weak attractive force between a hydrogen atom with a partial positive (o+) charge and an atom with a partial negative charge (o-) oxygen can be formed between two atoms. Hydrogen bonds are weak, however in large quantities, like the large number present in water it makes the molecules difficult to separate and gives water a wide range of physical properties vital to life.
The water cycle represents how water is exchanged and cycled through Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere (2010 pg.1). Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation are all three main factors within the water cycle. Evaporation occurs when a liquids surface changes to gas. For example, when water from rivers, oceans or lakes evaporate, it becomes water vapor. Condensation occurs when gas changes to a liquid. For example, clouds form when water vapor condescends. Precipitation is described as any liquid or solid water that falls to earth from above. A great and simple example would be rain, snow or hail (2010 pg.1). Within the water cycle, there are three states of water: solid, liquid and gas. Most of Earth’s freshwater is
First of all, in the “Laughter on the 23rd Floor”, Aristotle’s 6 elements of drama was included.
Water is continuously moving and changing states from liquid to gas (vapor) and solid (ice, snow, and hail). The water cycle describes the movement of all water on Earth. The Earth's water is constantly moving through this cycle, which has no beginning and no end.
“What the hell is water?” “This is Water” was originally given as a speech to college students before it was published in essay form. David Foster Wallace, in his essay “This is Water”, addresses the importance of awareness and perceptiveness of others. He believes this and proper education can help people become well-adjusted to the world around them. He adopts a humorous, personal, and important tone in order to accomplish his rhetorical purpose.
“It’s okay to look back on the past. Just don’t stare.” Benjamin Dover once said. The quote is significant to the true meaning of the poem. Reflecting on the past may be a good thing, but one shouldn’t emerge themselves too deep. Throughout the poem, Lowell writes with explicit detail. The speaker reflects on their past experiences with someone whilst living in a small town in Maine. The duo would sit on a rock and watch the sea flow onto them at times. At first itIn “Water”, written by the poet Robert Lowell, the theme of reflecting on the past is illustrated through Lowell’s use of imagery.
Water a transparent and formless liquid that is one of the most important things that we have on planet Earth. Every living thing needs water to live, so it is considered to be the source of life, by many.
The fact that most small biological molecules dissolve in water is very important because all the chemical reactions that take place in cells do so in aqueous solution. Plants cam only obtain mineral salts in solution and human digestion will only dissolve soluble foods, meaning large starch molecules must be broken down into soluble sugars. Also many organisms living in water spend most of their time underwater, yet they require oxygen to respire, and as water is such a good solvent the required oxygen gas is dissolved in water. Water’s solvent properties also allow it to act as a transport medium for polar solutes for example the movement of minerals to lakes and seas and removal of metabolic wastes such as urea and ammonia in urine. Water’s thermal properties relate to its heat capacity.
I watched with new eyes the sun shed it's ray of light upon the earth, which stood cuffed at the palms of adversity. I heard with new ears the sound of lonely cries echo. It would be the perspective from which I stood, that would recognize our obstacles as infinitesimal. These were the first words, I wrote when I first became fond of writing. I learned to be appreciative of the gift that enabled one to see things in new colors, new lights, and capture their definition, the best way fits. This was the optimism that paved the way for my dreams.
water covers more than 70 percent of the planet's surface, making our rivers, lakes, oceans,
Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants
As I sat next to the loud river that was bursting out of the Sylvan Dam, I noticed the water was in an invariable battle with the rocks, crashing and thrashing against each other like medieval warriors scraping for land. I looked around the edges of the river to see the copiousness of colors from the trees contrasting the sinister blue water. The rapids put off a pleasant and dulcet sound that ultimately ended in me having to relieve some building pressure down the trail. After returning to my riverside view, I noticed that farther down the gleaming river, fish were jumping and flipping like delicious pancakes on a griddle. Making the split-second decision to fish, I sprinted to my 1999 black Chevy Silverado, unlatched the tailgate and snatched all of my waterproof fishing gear. Slipping on my Mossberg max 4 Camo Gander Mountain guided series waders is no easy chore. While looking like the most incapable human being ever I finally managed to slip on the foul scum smelling waders that I so dearly should have washed. Feeling like a professional mountain climber, I started scaling the steep inclement of the river bank. Stomping my insulated waders into the frigid dour murky water, I ventured my path out onto a construction of rocks forming a beautiful approach for spotting fish. I released my light green jointed shad Rapala from my St. Croix Legend Elite spinning rod and casted the shad into pooling backwater just off of my rocky approachment. Feeling the vibration of the shad through my rod, smacking against slime covered rocks and ripping through dense weedy areas. I felt aspirant to not get hung up on a rock resulting in a line break, I successfully retrieved my lure. After casting and reeling my line several times and just started zoning out, I was abruptly startled to hear a ruckus coming from the west side embankment. Glancing quickly back to the water to see where my lure was only to hear a loud splash coming from the same place where I first noticed the ruckus. Three deer, with golden brown fur coated enrolled into the water. Realizing that the leaders of the small herd were both doe’s and a younger buck eagerly followed. The buck had a nice six-point rack, with long tines and a wide spread. He kept his
“Bring the money tomorrow, unless you want to drop out of school.” Those words are that I always hear from my teacher in every end of the month when she yells to kids that are struggle to pay off the money for school’s cost; sometime I am one of them. In Myanmar, there are children that are in the street, those who are supposed to be inside the school building, learning instead of work labor. I see these in every daily basis, in my lower class society in Myanmar. I used to have a thought that, there is no way I can be educated and treated well, if I don’t have money in my life, but I own a moment that my idea and thought are converted into air that took place in my brain for my whole life.
