Presented to: Prof. ELISA VENUS THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM The skin is the largest organ in the body: 12-15% of body weight, with a surface area of 1-2 meters. Skin is continuous with, but structurally distinct from mucous membranes that line the mouth, anus, urethra, and vagina. Two distinct layers occur in the skin: the dermis and epidermis. The basic cell type of the epidermis is the

hurricane starts as a tropical storm or tropical depression. These systems are almost exclusively in tropical parts of the world, and the formation predominantly travels over oceans and warmer water temperatures which produce tropical air and evaporation thereby feeding the system. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by names such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, and tropical depression. Heavy rains from a tropical system can produce

releases up into the air, forms into a cloud, rains down to the Earth and then evaporates again, repeating this continuous process. Some amount of groundwater also releases back into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration which is evaporation of water from plants. The remaining water on the earth's surface is runoff, which finds its place in the lakes, streams and rivers, which eventually enters the oceans, starting the repetition of the hydrologic cycle. (Tallman, 2011). In Colorado

Climate change is a change in regional weather patterns that occur over time. Climate change causes are air pollution, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels. An area which has already been affected by climate change is Alberta. Alberta has been dealing with quite a few problems now due to climate change, but the three main problems that affect Alberta the most are increasing temperatures, water levels rising, and seasonal changes in agriculture including irrigation decrease. First

An introduction to climate change Section 1: What is climate change? Recent climate history and future projections Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere. What is weather? At every moment at any spot of the world, the troposphere (the inner layer of atmosphere which contains earth’s most of the air) has a particular set of physical

made into fresh water by the process of desalination. This summary will cover a few different desalination methods and their benefits. “Among the desalination technologies, thermal desalination, including multi stage flash (MSF) and multi effect evaporation (MEE), is the current leading desalination process. Reverse osmosis (RO) is also being increasingly used.”¹ But both of these processes consume enormous amounts of precious fossil fuels and emit masses of ozone depleting greenhouse gases. Another

Water treatment Water, tasteless, transparent no color and occupies a large space on our planet. It is the most familiar liquid on planet earth. It takes the form of ice as solid and liquid form it covers more than 70% of the earth. It is present in various amounts in our atmosphere. About all of our living tissue are made of water, it consist about 80% of muscle tissue, and 60% of red blood cells, and more than half of other tissues. Not only for human but also for others living organisms on earth

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 BACKGROUND The “environment” as defined by the federal environmental protection agency decree of 1988 includes water, air, land and all plants and human beings or animals living therein and the interrelationships which exist among these, or any of them e.g. waste. Two kinds of definitions are operative for waste. One is conceptual and the other descriptive (Savasi, 1977) and defines waste by listing the kinds of materials comprising it. In the conceptual sense, wastes are defined
