Anna Androsky Kinesiology Barbara Hayden 11-12-13 Main Topic: Beach Volleyball Sub Topic: Kerri Walsh- Jennings Why Did I Pick This Topic? – I picked this activity because when I watched the summer Olympics I was fascinated by watching Misty May and Kerri Walsh- Jennings. I was fascinated by how good they were at beach volleyball and how well they played together. I also played volleyball in high school and I never knew a lot about the background of the sport, or how beach volleyball got started. The Complete History of Beach Volleyball- The history of beach volleyball was all started by the history of actual volleyball.
Lesson Plan Topic: Recycling Age Level: Preschool Introductory Experience: Clearly describe how you will use the following items to introduce the topic. Ask the students to brainstorm ideas about garbage and recycling and record their ideas on a board or chart paper. Focus on explaining how we depend on the earth's resources, and how we can play a role in taking care of the earth. Tell the students that they are going to learn more about recycling and reusing materials. Ask questions to ensure students' understanding of the differences between the items you have presented to them..
When acid rain falls, it sometimes raises the levels of acids in certain soils, removing nutrients from the soil that helps plants grow. Because the nutrients are removed from the soil, it makes it hard for plants and trees to resist diseases, insect infestation and bad weather. Acid rain also raises the acidity of steams, rivers, and lakes, which can harm and sometimes kill life in the water. The acids in acid rain also react with the CaCO3 in marble and limestone, which can cause damage to statues and buildings. Lakes with limestone beds are less affected by acid rain because the limestone reacts with the acids in acid rain.
Another source is the release of salts as rocks weather. Another possible cause could be ancient drainage basins or inland seas that evaporated during dry periods, leaving behind salt deposits that still remain today making that land infertile and useless for any agricultural purpose. However, rising groundwater levels are bringing previously stored undisturbed salt to the surface where it affects soils, streams, vegetation and farming. Rising groundwater levels can be caused in two different ways. The first is the naturally changing Australian landscape.
Solar radiation has been suspected to play a role in coral bleaching. The consequent exposure to high or low temperatures, increased solar radiation, desiccation, and sea water dilution by heavy rains could all play a role in zooxanthellae loss, but could also very well lead to coral death. -Fresh water dilution Rapid dilution of reef waters from storm-generated precipitation and runoff has been demonstrated to cause coral reef bleaching. Generally, such bleaching events are rare and confined to small, near-shore areas. Nearly all of the world’s major coral reef regions (Caribbean/western Atlantic, eastern Pacific, central and western Pacific, Indian Ocean, Arabian Gulf, Red Sea) experienced some degree fo coral bleaching and mortality during the 1980s.
These buildings were also constructed of rock rather than adobe that are in other parts of the country. In part of Sjoerd Nienhuys’ proposed project for reconstruction, he explains how the effects of an earthquake are exacerbated through the construction of a rock constructed house rather than an adobe house (Nienhuys,4 ). “ 1) Different earthquake force related to the distance from the epicentre. 2) The pinnacle position of the rock outcrop may have amplified the acceleration. 3) The softer adobe subsoil of the plain may have dampened the acceleration.

The Three Causes to Soil Erosion The three causes for soil erosion are over cultivating, overgrazing, and deforestation. Over cultivation is the repeated process of the soil being plowed to control weeds; this exposes the soil to water and wind erosion. A solution to this would be no-till agriculture which is a technique that allows a planting apparatus connected to the back of a tractor to spray herbicide, cut a furrow, drop seeds and fertilizer in furrow and then closes it. At harvest time the process in repeated never leaving the soil exposed, erosion and water loss is reduced, and there is enough detritus including roots from the previous crop to maintain the topsoil. Another cause for erosion is overgrazing; which is the constant grazing of animals on plants without allowing the plants any recovery time.
What is acid rain? Acid rain is any form of precipitation with high levels of nitric or sulfuric acids. It can also come in the form of snow, fog, and tiny bits of dry material that settle to Earth. What effects does it have on plant material? It robs the soil of essential nutrients and releases aluminum in the soil, which makes it hard for trees to take up water.
These P waves are able to travel through both solid rock, such as granite mountains, and liquid material, such as volcanic magma or the water of the oceans. The slower wave through the body of rock is called the secondary or S wave. As an S wave propagates, it shears the rock sideways at right angles to the direction of travel. If a liquid is sheared sideways or twisted, it will not spring back, hence S waves cannot propagate in the liquid parts of the earth, such as oceans and lakes. The actual speed of P and S seismic waves depends on the density and elastic properties of the rocks and soil through which they pass.
