    Water vapor is just water just in its gaseous state other than its solid or liquid state. Water vapor is completely transparent. a cloud, fog or mist is all liquid water and not water vapor. Water vapor is hugely important to the weather climate. Without water vapor there would be no rain, clouds, or snow, because all of these weather conditions need water vapor to form. All of the water vapor that evaporates from the surface of our planet will in the end return as precipitation. Precipitation forms

    Oil and natural gas companies have developed a way to drill for natural gas, a process called hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. Natural gas is a flammable gas mixture consisting of methane and several other hydrocarbons that occur naturally underground. Natural gas is used as fuel for heating, cooking, and even in some automobiles like the “RideOn” buses. This technique has only recently become economically feasible with the rising prices of fossil fuels, and there is much potential

    we want to pick to colonize titan? First off Titan’s habitability is promising to say the least as it possesses all the elements necessary for life and humans to survive. As the atmosphere of titan contains tons of nitrogen and methane, as well as evidence of liquid methane on the surface as well. Even better is the evidence that points to titan having liquid water and ammonia under the surface, which is

    inevitably be exhausted. The people became optimistic regarding natural gas found in the United States. Drilling companies try to extract natural gas through hydraulic fracking; however, this process pose ethical concerns. While drilling for natural gas, methane can leak into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. In addition, careless fracking protocol could lead to groundwater contamination. As the petroleum engineering sector grows, new engineers from many disciple will be entering the field. Ethical

    The effect of metals supplementation on methanogenesis was studied to confirm whether could increase methane production. Ion metals as trace elements were proven to enhance biogas formation during anaerobic oxidation of organic matter [37]. However, its efficiencies are varied and depend on many factors such as the biogas system, inoculum source, metals used, etc. Three concentrations of metals (i.e., Ni, Co, and Fe) at three different concentrations of each metal were tested using granular sludge

    the constant increase of human population. This increase of population leads to many side effects in the environment. This increase of population puts a strain on the earth, for there is a greater demand of livestock, which leads to an increase of methane in the environment. Overpopulation also leads to a higher demand of lumber, which, when removed from the carbon cycle, prevents excess carbon from being absorbed back into the earth. Though many people will

    result in synthesis of higher methane in the gastro-intestinal tract of animals. During fermentation of these feeds to volatile fatty acids, which serve as an energy source for the animals, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are produced as by-products which get converted to methane. The diversification of the rumen/stomach contents by use of feed additives (microbial, chemical and plants containing secondary metabolites) might change the fermentation process and reduce methane emission considerably. The microbial
