Ground Water In Ontario
Number of words: 1970 - Number of pages: 8.... rests not only around Canadians, but beneath their feet as well.
In no region is this more pervasive than in the province of Ontario. Ontarians walk above groundwater supplies everyday, without the slightest notion of the extent to which they rely on this over-used and exploited natural resource. Canada as a whole "has far more water underground than on the surface - perhaps 65 times more than in surface lakes and streams",(Gorrie 70-71), and the same holds true for Ontario. Outside of the major urban centres which rely predominantly on surface sources for the .....

Number of words: 629 - Number of pages: 3.... 30 years or longer in the wild, and even longer in captivity. They mate for life and build huge nests in the tops of large trees near rivers, lakes, marshes, or other wetland areas. Nests are often reused year after year. With additions to the nests made annually, some may reach 10 feet across and weigh as much as 2,000 pounds. Although bald eagles may range over great distances, they usually return to nest within 100 miles of where they were raised.
Bald eagles normally lay two to three eggs once a year and the eggs hatch after about 35 days. The young eagl .....

Earth's Climate And Seasons: ‘How Do They Relate?’
Number of words: 393 - Number of pages: 2.... Earth and the sun. The earth’s shape makes the light amount about even, for example, at 40%S and 40%N latitude because the rays sort of fan out from the equator. While the earth is revolving around the sun, it is also rotating on it’s own axis. One full rotation equals one day or twenty- four hours. At the middle of the day, noon, the sun is as direct as it can be, and this is also the hottest time of the day. But, when Earth makes one half turn, it changes to night when all of the air cools off, because the sun is on the opposite side of the earth. Withou .....

UFOs And Alien Life
Number of words: 789 - Number of pages: 3.... odd shaped clouds, balls of lightning, burning marsh gases, airplanes, lights of cars, birds, and many other objects as UFOs," (Kraske 22). Pranksters have also misled UFO investigation by doing actions that confuse and mislead humans. For example, they flash images of car headlights and city lights on the Earth. Pranksters also confuse people by tossing discs from tall buildings and taking pictures of spaceship models. One man was suspected of taking pictures of a realistic chicken-hatching machine. Human psychology has also played a role in the invest .....

Meth Labs
Number of words: 2052 - Number of pages: 8.... stereotype of rural areas as idyllic, protected environments in which to raise families, substance abuse is as great a problem as it is in the cities. One must realize that rural communities vary in characteristics considerably, which complicates our understanding of rural substance use problems and increases the need for prevention, intervention, and treatment programs. For too long, the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in rural areas have received little attention from the federal level. As national studies show, those who live in rural areas are just a .....

The Depletion Of Ozone Layer
Number of words: 2615 - Number of pages: 10.... produces ozone – a benefit to the environment since ozone protects people, plants, and animals from harmful radiation.
The ozone layer is important because it absorbs most of the damaging ultra-violet radiation from the sun before it reaches ground level, where it can cause sun burn, skin cancer and cataracts. Research suggests that any additional UV-B (ultra-violet radiation) at ground level could depress our bodies’ immune systems, damage the natural food chain and reduce crop yields. Although ozone makes up less that 1ppm of all the gases in our planet’s atmo .....

Aquired Dyslexia
Number of words: 1877 - Number of pages: 7.... the study of such patients several variations of a basic model have been developed to highlight the way in which the written word is processed in the brain. The model is subdivided in to two main processing routes, the Non Lexical Route and the Lexical route.
A model produced based on theories from Coltheart (1981) shows that there are several routes to speech production in the brain. The eye first identifies the printed word. In the adult skilled reader the eye does not move in a smooth pattern but actually jumps to certain focus points in a sentence the b .....

Aquarius
Number of words: 416 - Number of pages: 2.... and it dates
back to the translation of Ptolemy's Almagest.
Albali: The name comes from the Arabic, which means "swallower"; no one

Situla: This name comes from Latin and means "well bucket". Situla was
the original Arabic name for the entire constellation Aquarius.
There are three star clusters contained in Aquarius. M2, which was
discovered in 1764, is one that can be seen with a small telescope. A larger
telescope is needed to make out the individual stars. M72 is another cluster
that is located southeast of .....
