Frogs may tolerate relatively high levels of acidity, but if they eat insects like the mayfly, they may be affected because part of their food supply may disappear. As lakes and streams become more acidic, the numbers and types of fish and other aquatic plants and animals that live in these waters decrease. Some types of plants and ani .....

drop off fuel deposits on Mars for the trip home. But there are still many
questions left open.
The most recent of NASA’s plan, is this... They’ll use 3 different
space ships: A habitat lander, a cargo lander, and a crew transport
vehicle. The CTV carries them to the habitat lander. They land on Mars,
and do their business. When they’re done, the habitat lander takes them
back up to orbit where they meet back up with their CTV, waiting patiently
in orbit, that takes them back home.
The money issue is being handled in many different ways. The most
successful plan so-far is the ThinkMars plan. Students at MIT and Harv .....

The escape velocity is the speed at which one must be going to escape the gravity of the object in question(Intro. to Black Holes 1). The Earth’s escape velocity is seven miles per second(Intro. to Black Holes 1). This means that to leave the Earth’s gravitational pull, you must be able to travel at least seven miles per second(Intro. to Black Holes 1). To escape a black hole, your velocity must reach at least the speed of light(Intro. to Black Holes 1). Because the speed of light(186,000 miles per second) is not possible because you must have infinite fo .....

Approximately 75 percent of this level is spent regulating vital bodily functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and digestion. The second state is called alpha. Alpha refers to when the mind is in 95 to 100 percent concentration. When hypnosis is induced, the mind is in the alpha level. In this state the mind is .....

energy required to do this comes from not only the arms, but the legs as well.
The medical field has seen enormous breakthroughs because of principles
of physics. Doctors are now able to use lasers for surgery. Lasers are based
on the physical principle of light, and are devices for the creation and
amplification of a narrow, intense beam of coherent light. New laser
microsurgery can actually alter the shape of the cornea in the eye so the
patient's eyesight can return to normal, and he/she will no longer need those
bothersome glasses. Ultrasound is used in the medical field for destroying
