...states with large rural areas that have benefited from the huge job growth the hydrofracking has produced. 72,000 jobs were created in Pennsylvania from 2009 to 2011. Local governments are willing to take short cuts due to huge amounts of dollars coming into the local, and state pockets. Fines also could be assessed by local and state inspectors that can result in even more revenue due to high fines. Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fuels we use today. Other fuels have maybe the same harmful process of extracting fuels but they also have just as a damaging affect once it’s burned.

...Have you ever heard of a sand dune? Well, if you haven’t, I will tell you about them in this report. I will also tell you how I made a tasty model of a coastal sand dune. So….start reading! Sand dunes are fragile and formed by wind and water moving and sculpting the sand. The dune starts with wind that moves the sand. The wind moves it into piles just like a snow drift. The sand will build up on itself layer upon layer. Each new wind can make the dune larger and each new pile of sand can grow into a huge dune. Sand dunes form around stuff on the beach like rocks, drift wood and stuff that washes up on the beach during high tide. Inside sand dunes there are plant roots, which hold the sand together. This helps protect the sand dune from being destroyed. A dune holds the sand on the beach to help cut down erosion. Dunes are very important, without them the beaches would disappear. Coastal sand dunes can be found in North Carolina, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Maryland, Florida, Georgia and Texas. Dunes on the Georgia coast normally grow 10 to 12 feet tall and can be found all along Georgia’s barrier islands. These Dunes and islands have protected Georgia from the ocean tide. Plants are an important part of a dune. Plants that are on the fore dune must be able to take salt sprays, strong winds and burial by blowing sand. Plants like sea rocket, beach croton and Russian thistle grow here. On top of the dunes grass such as salt meadow cord grass...

...2_02 My recent trip to the beaches at The Yucatán Peninsula, in southeastern Mexico reminds me of one of the most beautiful and spectacular places I’ve ever been. The beach smells fresh, almost like a new tropical breeze air freshener. Next to me is the Caribbean ocean, bright as a cloudless noon sky, washes onto the white sand. Looking at the waves’ white foam; then, I let my senses enjoy the sound as they break on the beach, almost like a shaken-up champagne bottle being opened. The sand is hot and looks like gold blended in with little white crumbs; it sparkles like the diamonds showcased in a high-end jewelry store and feels like walking on ashes from freshly extinguished fire. Despite the heat, walking on the warm, crystal sand pacifies my soul. I set up my folding lounger under the shade of a palm tree and explore my surroundings. The colorful towels spread out all over the beach are covered by bronzed figures. A net is up towards the water, and a few more figures dive to save a falling volleyball. Not far from the shore, you can see the coral sitting still in the wild and shallow water. People are laughing and playing in the burning sand, and others are relaxing on the beach reading their books while enjoying the bright rays of light coming from the sun. In a distance, I see occasional jet skis speeding over the waves, and sometimes, I can see a fish hop out of the water, its body shining in the sun. Not far away, a resort is attractively located right by the water...

...English Coursework The sands were pearly white. I was memorised by the sea, as sapphire blue as my dear wife’s eyes. It was peaceful. Tranquil. The sun starred it’s raze down on the razor sharp sand. The aroma of hot dogs and filled my nostrils, permeating through the air. Just like the busy streets of New York, but the calm morning breeze of amity island was all I could feel around me. Not a single cloud in the sky, the day seemed as though it was going to be a perfect day, but what is perfect? Then like a flock of birds, they started to arrive, propelling and fighting over the best spots of the beach they could find. I gaze over like an eagle stalking its prey. Piercing screams, high-pitched laughter, children splashing, squishing, and shouting with joy. Beads of sweat trickled down my face as the sun, a gold coin in sky, effervescent, piercing through my skin like the diamond encrusted sand on the soles of my feet. I felt as though I was in paradise. I begin to notice the smiling shore ripple with force, accompanied by piercing screams and shouting. I emerge from my deck chair in alertness. Suddenly, a slim figure is swallowed by the gaping mouth of the Pacific Ocean. My heart begins to beat, race and pulsate, almost like the prey running away from the predator. In relief, she emerged, like a moth cradled in its cocoon, cradled on the shoulders of a friend. I declined back into the embracing arms of my chair feeling composed. I am still on edge, it almost seemed that...

...Breaking up is hard to do – Separating Sand & Salt Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to separate a mixture of sand and salt. Materials: * Small beaker * Electric balance * Sand * Salt * Water * Graduated cylinder * Stirring rod * Filter paper * Flask * Rubber policeman * Wash bottle * Funnel * Bunsen burner complete with rubber tubing and a source of gas * Hot hands * Insulator pad * Ring stand complete with a ring * Wire gauze * Striker Pre-lab Questions: 1. Water will be useful in separating the salt and sand because salt is soluble in water, which allows it to dissolve into a homogenous mixture, allowing for filtering of the sand. 2. Properties of sand and salt that will help separate them are that salt is water soluble, and the sand is insoluble in water. 3. The three things that could go wrong in this experiment are: * During the evaporation of water while using the Bunsen burner, the flask might crack or explode – this can be avoided by not heating the flask over a prolonged period of time, and not heating it too intensely. * Some of the sand may be lost during the filtration – this can be avoided by carefully filtering the mixture, and making sure that all of the sand has been washed off from the beaker, and the rubber policeman. * Some of the salt may be lost if the salt doesn’t dissolve completely or if some of the salt water is spilled – this can be...

...rays, making the shady beach of Barry Island seem like paradise, heat comparable to the Sahara desert. A child desperately tries to prevent his ice cream from a sand encrusted death as it plummets to the floor, debating whether or not he wants a vanilla and sand flavour ice cream, his face puzzled as he decides on retrieval, he would soon be distracted by the horde of people rapidly rushing to the depths of the sea. The sea sits calm and patient, almost inviting to the untrained eye. From afar the sea seems crystal-like projecting as it does a near perfect mirror image as if the sky and sea are at one. The closer you get to the sea you soon start to see its cracks as if it was a porcelain doll, beautiful and almost elegant from a distance. It's too late to turn back now the seas illusion has set in, the soggy sand has captured your footprint. Suddenly the sea shows its true colours a horrible musk of black filth, home to all types of disgusting bacteria waiting to pounce on the weak immune system. The stench of chip fat rules the air like a corrupt king slaying the sense of smell. Enticing the beach goers into a calorific snack, washed down by the warmth of a flat lifeless beer, where the rules of 'best served chilled' have been extremely violated. Seagulls circle the area ready to raid the sand for the food the sea has not yet claimed, Vermin of the air are hunting their prey. Litter clutters the beach, making a kaleidoscope of colours created by the metallic...

...beach, there are some very distinct smells. You can smell the salt from the water along with the heat from the sand. My most favorite smell of all is the sweet coconut smell of sun tanning lotion that people put on themselves while they lay into the sun to basically "cook." If you're looking for a quiet day of relaxation at the beach, I don't think that will work out too well. The beach is always really loud throughout the day. You can hear the loud motors of the boats and the waves of the water as they come crashing through to shore. You'll definitely be able to hear the laughter and the excitement of the kids of all ages as they splash around, play games, and build sandcastles. While you're at the beach you can always get involved in some fun activities, if you aren't able to relax. You can go fishing, if you like touching the slimy scales of the fish and the soft touch of the cold water. Just make sure you don't get the rough, coarse sand in your shorts because you won't like that too much. Overall the beach is lots of fun to go to, if you just want to get away from the busy everyday city life. If you are there early enough, you will be able to see a beautiful, bright sunrise and if you enjoy staying out on the beach until the evening, I'm sure you can catch a calming and loving sunset. After the sun has gone down for the night, you can sit in the sand and stare up at the amazing dark blue sky and bright shining...

...hildren have been intrigued by sand for many generations. Sand is a foundational part of the ground in the same way that dirt or clay is, making it available to children for centuries. Before the advent of the toys and electronics of today’s society, children were forced to find creative methods to play with the outdoor materials found all around them, including sand. Children have played in sand by digging, sifting, building, pouring, and exploring throughout time, and they should be encouraged to continue this method of play. Sand is very well-suited to the urge to explore and to the imagination inherent in young children. Reasons Why Playing in the Sand Is Good for Kids Like playing with water, playing in sand is soothing and entertaining for children. Even adults can occasionally be caught running their fingers and toes through sand and enjoying its texture. Although sand is naturally found outdoors and can be played with in sandboxes or on beaches, it can also be brought inside for children to play on the floor or on sand tables. No matter the location of the sand play, these are eight reasons why playing in the sand is good for kids: 1. It Is an Open-Ended Medium Children learn the most when faced with open-ended questions and open-ended tasks, and sand is a medium that is inherently open-ended. No matter the skill or cognitive level of the child, sand is an appropriate play object. Very young or underdeveloped children can simply sit in sand and take in the texture and...

...with my parents over summer break from elementary school. I will never forget the outstanding memories I created with my parents on my childhood vacations. I could see the constant waves in the ocean from across the crowded beach, and I would always be so excited to step on the soft, white, sandy beach. As a young child, the first thing I would do is change into my one piece lacy swimsuit and run out to the beach. My cousins and I would spend the day splashing in the salty water, until we were too tired to keep our heads above the water. Then we would sit under our yellow umbrella on the soft damp sand and eat a bite of our favorite foods. It felt so good to have the bright sun blazing down on me. Our favorite thing to do was build the biggest sand castles on the beach. My cousins and I would have contests to see who could draw the best artwork in the sand. The grains of sand glistened in the sun like glitter on our newest handmade T-shirts. I will never forget how the gigantic boat would float by. Every day my parents would pack us a lunch with a peach; they were so juicy and delicious. Every time I see a peach, my mouth waters, I think of how sweet they taste, and my childhood vacations. Normally I have a hard time going to sleep, but in Florida I fell right to sleep every night. I would leave the windows wide open, and I would fall asleep to the waves crashing on the...

...basically a picture taken by the artist and not an actual painting or artwork drawn by the artist. The artist has taken the picture of the people on the beach on a clear day time. This picture shows a beach which consists of white sand and the sand looks dried out. There are many people lying on the beach by the use of their towels. Most of the towels are blue in color. While other towels are white, maroon, orange and red in color. The picture shown is from the top, i.e. vertically from the position people are sleeping or resting on the beach. There are men as well as women on the beach. Men are mostly on their shorts and women are in their bikinis. We can see white and black people in this picture. While some people are simply lying straight, others are lying upside down as they feel comfortable. There is no proper arrangement of the towels or the positioning in which people are resting. Everything looks disorganized and the faces of the different people are not clear, so it is not possible to recognize people as well nothing can be said about the expressions or the feelings of the persons sitting on the beach. The beach comprises largely of couples lying next to each other. Most of the couples are on the dry sand whereas three couples are resting on the wet sand which is very near to the water of the beach. As the picture is taken in the day-time, there is direct sunlight on the people facing the sky. In addition there are two umbrellas on the down left corners of the picture or the...
