fragments of weathered earth. A Clastic Sedimentary Rock is formed from fragments of weathered earth cementing and compacting together into a rock. Then moving on to the next one Chemical Sedimentary Rocks. A Chemical Sedimentary Rock forms by the evaporation of mineral rich water. When a body of mineral rich water evaporates the minerals are left to crystalline together. Chemical rocks are identified by their crystalline texture or structure. Finally, the last type of sedimentary rock is the Biochemical

Fire Scientists in west florida university performed an experiment to see the effect of fire on a human corpse. Once on fire the outer skin goes first, crisping and crackling before it burns away pretty quickly. The dermal layers of the skin vanish too after about 5 minutes. By then the fire has burned away your shell and starts on the fat layer. Fat is an effective fuel as flammable material acts like a candle wick. The fat melts away, absorbs into the wick and then burns for hours. Flames also

1. When the body depletes its salt and water supplies, sweating stops and heat loss by evaporation of sweat is blocked. 2. Mark has lost a great deal of his electrolytes through sweating earlier in the day containing sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and bicarbonate. All aid in the ability for the body to maintain homeostasis and muscle control. 3. During a heat stroke, your body is unable to properly cool itself. When it is unable to cool itself, the core body temperature rises rapidly

moisture that evaporates into the air condenses and forms clouds, and snow begins falling. This may seem like the recipe for whole world but due to the sheer size of the great lakes and the fact that it is fresh water and not salt, the amount of evaporation is much greater causing larger amounts of moisture in the air. Snow clouds most often form in narrow bands where the size and orientation are determined by the shape of the body of water and the prevailing wind direction. In the most extreme

flooding the natural habitats that existed before the dam’s construction. To date, over 400,000 km2 of the earth have been flooded due to damming. The newly created reservoir has more surface area than the river would have had, and therefore more evaporation occurs than is normal. According to Science Encyclopedia, Volume 2, this can lead to an increased loss of up to 2.1 m3 of water per year. According to recent studies, reservoirs contribute to greenhouse gas

Describe and explain the global distribution of water scarcity Fresh water is a finite resource. 80% of global fresh water is trapped in ice, snow or permafrost. The remaining 20% is mainly groundwater, only 1% of this is easily accessible. Around 1.4 billion people lack clean drinking water, 2.4 million people have inadequate sanitation and 0.5 billion face water shortages every day. The distribution of fresh water is uneven, leading to a ‘water gap’. Water stress is when demand for water exceeds

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
