    the beautiful snow-capped mountain in Africa, may soon be bald. The ice atop the mountain is receding, making the famous snowy peak that used to appear in old photos resemble any old mountain. The recent studies by Lonnie Thompson and his colleagues have shown that the mountain may be iceless by around the year 2022. Mr. Thompson reported to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that “more than a quarter of the ice cover present in the year 2000 had disappeared by late 2007” (Thompson

    only be achieved if there is no seed to trigger the crystallization process. A good example of this is clouds at a high altitude. The clouds contain tiny drops of water and when there are no seeds to trigger the crystallization it doesn't turn to ice, no matter how cold it is. Although, in everyday life there are seed to trigger crystallization. The answer to why this works can be found in the physics of crystallization. To form a crystal you need something that the crystals can grow around a

  • Crickets and Their Reaction to Different Stimuli, Light, Sound and Touch

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    light also has an effect on cricket’s brain responses. Crickets are an easy invertebrate to test; they are mobile and are known for jumping and their mating noises. The crickets will react to different stimuli, light, sound, and motion, when placed on ice. The cricket’s movement will gradually increase as another stimulus is added on, making the three stimuli the highest amount of movement. With the crickets being cooled down they will be less mobile, but the stimuli will still have an effect on them

  • Artificial Turf Essay

    being installed in baseball fields and arenas, athletes and managers agreed, artificial turf was not a good substitute for the real thing. So, scientists and manufacturers went back to their drawing boards, and even now, are constantly improving upon the original design. Today, artificial turf is widely used not only in stadiums but arenas, indoor golf areas and even restaurants (really?) and is also making an appearance in residential yards. Stadiums, Arenas and Ice Rinks Traditionally used in

    unfamiliar, and to explain the nature, formation and behavior of glaciers. The initial description of the glaciers offered by each writer is in regards to the immense size in non-descript factual and numerical terms, for instance Coxe states that the ice ranges rise "abruptly from their base and parallel to each other" and Bourrit analyses the height of Mount Blanc with mathematical descriptions "when that height is thirty or nearly forty times increased upon a base proportionally massive…". Faced with

  • Physics of Snow

    2464 Words  | 5 Pages

    The most basic form of an ice crystal is a hexagonal prism. This form occurs because certain surfaces of the crystal, the growth facets, grow very slowly. The reason these facets exist derives from the molecular structure of water, and how water molecules arrange themselves into a crystalline lattice. The hexagonal prism includes two hexagonal "basal" faces and six rectangular "prism" faces. Note that the hexagonal prism can be "plate-like" or "column-like", if the length along the c-axis is short

    The Rice Fields of Home I remember the big Gingko tree on the little hill. It was an old tree, shaped like a grandma with her curved back and wrinkly body. I loved how its leaves turned golden yellow during the autumn. I called them, Eun-hang Ip. Whenever the wind blew, it was snowing yellow, and I was covered with them. I would often doze off in that yellow blanket while the sunshine held my feet with her warm hands and the gentle breeze brushed my hair. In my dreams, I climbed that tree

    impacts that humans are having on them. Todd Anderson, Bruce Crownover, and Ian van Coller’s, The Last Glacier, 2010-2016, captures the many negative effects that humans have had on glaciers, considered by some to be the “last remnants of a distant ice age.” The Last Glacier is a piece of art presented through photographs and detailed woodblock prints. Combined, the multiple pieces of art form a fifteen print, large-scale book that is meant to parallel the large scale of the Glacier National Park

    went, the fear for loss before the next generation. When she went to Alaska, many people were fleeing from their homes because the sea ice surrounding them, creating a buffer zone for storms, was melting and that was causing houses to just be swept away. A man in Iceland who has monitored glaciers predicted that by the end of the century, Iceland will be ice free. Not something you would expect from a land that has had glaciers for over two million years. On the tips of glacier in Greenland

    I lay transfixed, in a field of flowers. The brilliant yellow skyscrapers were dwarfed by the endless ocean of blue. Feeling the cool breeze over my lips, I felt a rush of freedom and sighed contently. Even with the breeze, the warmth of the sun reached me and it wrapped me in its calmness. I could smell of the freshness of the air and the dampness of the soil beneath me that soaked my dress. Alone, not a soul for miles, and I couldn't feel any more at peace. When I heard the faint calling in the
