Introduction

Water is a very important commodity for the survival of humankind. The hydrological cycle aids in availing water to the earth. It begins when water in the streams, lakes or oceans is heated by the sun and turns into water vapor that penetrates into the air. Also, when plants transpire, water enters the air. The water vapor then condenses to form clouds which, eventually, through precipitation, fall back onto the earth's surface in the form of snow, sleet or rain. This process is made possible when the temperature of the air drops due to air moving up the mountain’s ...

“A HARD RAIN’S A-GONNA FALL”

1. Introduction:
Every piece of literature, be it a book or a song, literary devices have always been used to support their theme and meaning. The stronger the use of these devices, the stronger their impact would be. Most of the times, writers and authors use imagery as a tool to create this effect, but in terms of songs, artists make use of different techniques such as repetition, to make their songs stay longer inside the head of the listener. In this essay, we have analyzed such a song called “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” by Bob Dylan. Also, the lyrics ...

The rain, when it falls, brings along itself the polluted water, which is obtained from the polluted environment. Acid rain is harmful to the environment as it contains too many harmful components in it. Acid rain is a polluted rain. When the air gets polluted due to industries, emission of carbon dioxide, and the emission of harmful gases from vehicles, these all combine together and create air pollution. This air pollution thus creates polluted clouds and eventually the polluted rain falls. This polluted rain is called acid rain.

According to the scientists, air pollution is the main reason of acid ...

By definition, air refers to a mixture of gases that freely roams in the atmosphere. The air circles the earth and is held in place by gravity. The air mixture is comprised of gases such nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, rare gases like argon and water vapor. These gases are in different proportions with nitrogen having the highest proportion (78%).

Literature Final Exam

The postwar era in Japan did not usher in an era of radical change in traditions. As a nation known to be keen on preserving their cultural heritage, Japan managed to keep its traditional views intact, particularly in terms of gender. The Japanese has long engendered a patriarchal society, where men enjoy a superior status compared to that of women. The perceived inferior status of women in Japanese society is a recurrent theme in literature, embodied by novels such as Black Rain by Masuji Ibuse and Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata.

In this paper, I argue that the present coffee crop system in Brazil is and has always been destructive to the interest of local people and small farms. Furthermore, I contend that coffee plantations are based on a system established during the colonial era and reflect those inequities. I dispute the idea that the government in Brazil is trying to help small growers; evidence shows that the government has not established polices at local or national levels to protect Brazilians. In what follows, I will discuss 1) how the nineteenth century coffee plantations in Brazil came on the scene ...

Introduction

Modernism was born out of the instability caused by World War I. People began to question the foundations of authority, as well as their social and cultural traditions. This unease is brought not only by the war, but also the increasing developments in politics, economics and science (Wrenn, 2010), liberating many traditions and perspectives. It is marred by “the struggle for knowledgesenselessness and alienation” (Wrenn, 2010). Literature was not immune to these changes, thus the modernist literary movement emerged. Here we analyze Chopin’s The Story of the Hour and Hemingway’s The Cat in the Rain to look ...

I recently watched a documentary where scientists claimed they could create rain in the desert. I was skeptical at first. In my conception, it was not possible for man to make rain. I am very skeptical about the traditional folk tales in traditional communities that narrate of leaders who had the power to make rain. The scientists in today’s contemporary society stand a better chance of making compared to the traditional rainmakers. Even then, I reserved my skepticism about the possibility of artificially manipulating the clouds in order to create rain. It is after watching the entire documentary that I ...

In Sapphire’s novel “Push,” we follow the trials and tribulations of Claireece Precious Jones, an overweight, illiterate African-American teenage girl as she attempts to overcome her circumstances.

Just like any other food, water needs to be used sparingly because some areas in the US are forced to go through rationing due to ...

Describe air quality conditions in the US before steep regulations were imposed.

The United States has experienced the worst air quality conditions during the 1940s and 1950s as an effect of the progressing industrialization and urbanization. Another main reason is that the United States has no national regulation and policy towards hazardous gas emission and air pollution during these periods of time. During the 1940s and 1950s, the United States have experienced deadly photochemical smog on major cities including Los Angeles and Donora(Williams, 2013). In addition, the ozone levels in the lower layers of the atmosphere exceed its limit and become dangerous to people as well as the environment. During ...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...

What factors contributed to the problem?
Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

Rainfall is available to everyone in most areas of the planet. In the tropical rain forests for example, the main source of rain as many are taught in high school, is the rain forest: therefore the more the forest coverage, the more the rain. If the forest cover were to diminish for a particular reason, say natural processes, then the amount of rainfall will reduce consequently and recover during another season: and if the reduction of forest over reduced to excessive logging, then the problem persists until action is taken to control the logging. The rainfall in this case ...

Q.1
The condensation occurs due to change in temperature that causes the air to lose the ability to hold water vapor. Resultantly, the water liquefies, and appears as moisture around the bottle or cane filled with some sort of liquid. In July, the area of Tucson experiences difference in air temperature and the warmth dies out as air rises to higher altitudes with the passage of time, so the gaseous form of water takes the shape of liquid because the atmosphere lacks the power to hold the water vapor.

Acid rain is defined as a mixture of dry and wet deposition from the atmosphere that contains higher amounts of Sulphuric and nitric acids (Sen 2012). It has adverse effects on monuments due to its degradation effect. In fact, it highly degrades those stone monuments built out of marble or limestone. Therefore, marble or limestone rocks should be of most concern because they have close-formed matrix which is predominantly made of calcium carbonate which easily react with the acid rain (English Heritage). Consequently, pock marks are caused in marble structures.
Equally, weathering is basically a process of geological denudation. The ...
