lungs as it has completely emptied itself. The effects of this are that on inspiration, diffusion would take place in between the inspired air and the blood. Due to this the blood pO2 levels would become atmospheric. This means the blood would have 20 Kpa of O2 and 0 Kpa of Co2 as the atmospheric air has a negligible concentration of CO2. As we have such a low concentration of CO2 in the lungs, there is a shift in the carbonic acid equilibrium. Due to this there is less carbonic acid produced as there

Water is essential to human and organisms to live “Drinking water, “2008). Water covers most of the world and makes up more of the world than land. Water comes from different sources. Water may surround us but there are still shortages. Water allows us to live but it could be harmful to our bodies when polluted. Humans and natural disasters can cause damage to the water supply It is important to conserve water whenever possible (“Drinking Water, “2008). Oceans make up two-thirds of the Earth (“Drinking

the NOAA on a daily basis and many Americans don’t even know anything about it. Funding has already began to cause some possible issues for the NOAA. An article on The Washington Post’s website states “Two of NOAA’s current satellites are not fully functional, and the third is nearing the end of its life” (Freedman, 2011). If the NOAA is already having these issues with previous budget cuts, what could further reduction in funding cause? The NOAA and NASA work together in many missions. The NOAA

In: Social Issues Climate Change Reaction Paper 1. CLIMATE CHANGE The Philippines has been considered as a highly vulnerable to current (i.e. natural disasters), as well as future climate-related risks due to its geographical location and physical characteristics. It lies along the Western Pacific Basin (a generator of climatic conditions such as monsoons, thunderstorms, Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone, typhoons, among others) making it a path of an average of 20 tropical cyclones annually,

Recipe for rescuing our reefs The colourful world supported by coral reefs is under threat as oceans absorb greater quantities of carbon dioxide, says Rod Salm. In this week's Green Room, he says we must accept that we are going to lose many of these valuable ecosystems, but adds that not all hope is lost. I've been privileged to see many of the world's finest and least disturbed reefs. Mine were the first human eyes to see many of the remotest reefs at a time when we really could describe them

Trevor Hughes. This article is about how the aspen and pine forests of the Rocky Mountains are dying off at a fast rate due to climate change. Wildfires and drought are two of the main causes as to why the forests are depleting. The main underlying issue is climate change. The article goes into talking about how if the emissions of heat-trapping gases continue at the rate they are at, the area suitable for Rocky Mountains lodge pole pine will decline drastically. The National forests play a key role
