Introduction
For the past couple of decades since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, scientists have slowly began a campaign to raise awareness to the changing state of the planet. Records of high temperature changes, onset of diseases and erratic weather patterns have been reported worldwide, each change becoming more severe as the years progress. When it comes to erratic weather patterns, scientists highlight the now common occurrences of natural disasters such as hurricanes or cyclones. Although skeptics stress that ...

2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami

Introduction

The Tohoku earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean on 11th March, 2011 at a shallow depth of 32 kilometers is by far the largest earthquake ever recorded in the Japanese history and the fifth largest in the world. The earthquake was of 9.0 magnitude with its epicenter located 130 kilometers off Sendai, Honshu, the largest city in the Tohoku region. This earthquake set off devastating tsunami waves travelling like a jet plane at the speed of 700 kilometers an hour (Sorkhabi, 2011). The waves that reached the altitude of 40.5 meters travelled up to 10 ...

Chapter 3: Introduction to the Atmosphere

This chapter is a basic introduction to the several properties of the atmosphere. Air is the main composition of the atmosphere and contains the majority of Nitrogen gas for 78% and Oxygen gas for 21%. The rest comprises of other gases. Although the atmospheric mixture also constitutes particulates such as dust, smoke, pollens, ash and other industrial emission. The atmosphere can be divided into homosphere and heterosphere. Different gases are scattered uniformly throughout this layer, unlike the composition in the heterosphere where each gas is separated in each layer. Located on the topmost part of the atmosphere is where the ...

Aluminium is produced from bauxite. Al2O3. This is referred to as Alumina, or aluminium oxide is extracted from the ore. After the extraction, electrolytic reduction process is used to transform Alumina to Aluminium. From every two tonnes of alumina, one tonne of aluminium is produced. The bauxite consists of ferrous oxide, titanium oxide, earth silicon, and alumina, approximately 40 to 60%. Bayer process is used to separate pure aluminium from bauxite (Habashi 16). This process involves heating the ore in an autoclave that contains caustic soda. Cooling then takes place, in order to separate the solid residue that is ...
