- 1331: Could Air Pollution Have A Negative Impact On Water Quality?
- ... grasshopper effect, persistent toxic chemicals evaporate from waters and soils in the south during warm months, and are then carried by the atmosphere to colder climates, and finally dropped from the sky via snow and rain and build up in the food chain2. The federal government has developed regulatory standards and guidelines to protect individuals from the potential health effects of toxaphene and mirex in drinking water and food.

- 1332: The Planet Venus
- ... for a planet. It is 300 to 500 million years old. Venus has no oceans. It has a heavy atmosphere of carbon dioxide and no water vapor. The clouds on Venus are made of sulfuric acid drops. The surface temperature is so hot it can get up to 482o C or 900 F. The heat on the surface of Venus cant escape from the planet because there are thick clouds ...
- 1333: Earth's Climate and Seasons: How Do They Relate?
- ... would become unbearably hot in the summer. The sun, after doing all of these things, still gives us energy in the form of heat, light, etc. Without heat, there would be very little if any rain, because the water could not evaporate.

It determines our weather and climate , controls temperature, and gives to the atmosphere the water vapour that eventually falls back on the land as rain.

The oceans contain tons of microscopic plants, or phytoplankton which lives on carbondioxide ...
- 1335: Satellites
- ... were radar that measured altitude and wave heights. The satellite detected ocean currents, tides, and storm surges. A scatterometer measured ocean-surface wind speeds. Other equipment measured surface temperatures, water vapor content in the air, rain rate, and the age, concentration, extent, and motion of sea ice.
- 1336: Pollution From Livestock and Manure
- ... The best ways are in the fall, then plow it under or in the spring after the snow has melted. You also should watch the weather.

When natural, titanium is reported to become very radioactive after being bombarded with neutrons. The emitted radiations are mostly positrons and gamma rays. The ...
- 1338: Global Warming
- ... quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Changes in temperature and rainfall brought on by global warming will in turn change the composition of the forests. At the present rate of destruction, most of the rain forests will be gone by the middle of the next century. This will allow man-made deserts to encroach on once lush areas. (Bassett 1-2). Evaporation rates will also increase and circulation patterns will ...
- 1339: Barium
- ... Scientist Sir Humphry Davy, who officially discovered it, isolate the element by electrolysis in 1808. The element reacts vigorously with water; it is rapidly corroded by moist air. All barium compounds that are water or acid soluble are poisonous. Barium is decomposed by water or alcohol. Barium is so reactive that it occurs in nature only as a compound, which means that it is found only in combination with other elements ...
- 1340: Essay on Global Warming
- ... around the world. With the warming of the planet, the water on the ground would quickly evaporate causing the rivers and lakes to quickly dry up. This would lead to crops dying from lack of rain, which would lead to food prices to skyrocket, which would lead to people dying from hunger if they do not have enough money to pay the price for food. Another event that would occur from ...
