There are a several different types of biomes that cover the vast surface of our planet, but one in particular is very important. The Tropical Rainforest can be described as a forest of tall trees that is located in areas

transfer thermal energy (enthalpy) between two or more fluids, between the solid surface and a fluid. The fluids can be single compounds or mixtures. The typical applications of heat exchangers include cooling or heating of fluid stream of concern, evaporation or condensation of multi-component or single fluid stream. They are also used in heat rejection or heat recovery from a system. The heat exchanger: Is a piece of equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another? The media

Financial crises have been an unfortunate part of the industry since its beginnings. A look at a number of financial crises over the last 30 years suggests a high degree of commonality: excessive exuberance, poor regulatory oversight, dodgy accounting, herd mentalities and, in many cases, a sense of infallibility. 1) LatAm sovereign debt crisis – 1982 : This crisis developed when Latin American countries, which had been gorging on cheap foreign debt for years, suddenly realized they could

layers structure and composition. When paint dries it forms a layer that is thin and hard. It is made up of several constituents that include carriers, pigments, modifiers, extenders and binders. Carriers are the substance that becomes a solid when evaporation takes place usually an organic liquid. Pigment is the substance that gives the paint its color (Fish & Braswell, 2011). It is worth noting that blue and green pigment is usually organic compounds whereas red, yellow and white color pigment is

GEO 215 Week 3 DQ 3 How will the deforestation of the Earth’s tropical forests affect the Earth’s temperature or climate? Explain. Response #1 Rainforest grows to large heights and it is important because a growth in the sunlight through the forest canopy can lead to species of the forest not surviving. with the forests getting direct sunlight and over 2 inches of rain an hour, the area is hot and humid. Deforestation is where less heat is absorbed and less moisture is released. The plant life

Sedimentary Rocks Your Name Plate tectonics affect where sediment falls to the way that rocks are formed from the sediment. There are three different types of sediment rocks that are created in a similar manner but actual make up of each sediment rock is very different. There is clastic sediment that will form clastic sedimentary rock, chemical sediment that will form chemical sedimentary rock, and then there is Biogenic sediment that will eventually form Biogenic sedimentary rock. This
