Traditionally, sugarcane processing requires two stages. Mills extract juice from freshly harvested cane to crystalise it into grains that becomes sugar, and sometimes whiten it to make "mill white" sugar for local consumption. Sugar refineries, often located nearer to consumers in North America, Europe, and Japan, then produce refined white sugar, which is 99 percent sucrose. These two stages are slowly merging. Increasing affluence in the sugar-producing tropics increased demand for refined sugar

Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems

function such as helping resist change in temperature, cooling off the body, and regulating body fluids, pH levels and chemical reactions. Water makes up 45 to 75 percent of body weight, but is constantly being lost through urine and continuous evaporation from the skin and from the lungs. When Roger is outside working at a high activity level in hot and humid weather, he is going to be sweating more often than he normal does. Anytime you are doing

expect that most of the United States will warm. What we do not know yet is how to scientifically predict which parts of the nation will become wetter or drier. We do know there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, and more intense weather systems, in the form of violent rainstorms, blizzards and sun-baked, drier soils. The Facts—What Do We Already Know About Changing Global Conditions (Global Warming)? Global temperatures are rising. Observations collected

Freshwater and Saltwater Fishing Fishing is a sport enjoyed by many outdoor enthusiast. There is nothing like hearing the sharp, high pitched whining of the reel as your line gets pulled into the depths of the glistening, crystal clear, salty water. There are two types of fishing; saltwater and freshwater. Many people do not realize the vast differences in the two types of fishing, or even the obvious similarities. Selecting the right equipment for the different fishing styles, such as tackle and

interrelated? Two of the main forces discussed in this video are the forces of the Sun and how its heat affects the Earth, and the forces of Ice and how its cooling capacity affects the earth. The Sun, when shining on the oceans is the driving force of evaporation and creation of water vapor in the atmosphere which creates weather patterns and clouds which circulate based on the currents of the Oceans. The currents and levels of the oceans are affected by the ice sheets of Antarctica because of the salt
