Chapter 7-weathering & soil
The document summarizes key topics about weathering and soil formation:
- Weathering breaks down rocks into sediment through mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical weathering doesn't change the rock's chemistry while chemical weathering does.
- Soil forms over thousands of years as rocks weather and organic matter decays. Soil profiles have distinct A, B, and C horizons with varying properties.
- Human activities like removing vegetation can disrupt the natural balance between soil production and erosion, degrading soil quality over time if erosion isn't controlled. Contour farming, terracing, and no-till methods help reduce erosion.
Soil
This document discusses different types of soil including sandy soil, clay soil, silty soil, loamy soil, chalky soil, and peaty soil. It describes the characteristics of each soil type and some of the problems associated with each. For example, it notes that sandy soil does not hold water well and nutrients drain quickly through it, while clay soil is difficult for air and water to penetrate, creating problems for plant growth. The document also discusses soil conservation and its importance.
Climate Change and the environment
Climate change can be caused by both human and natural factors and affects the environment in several ways. It is causing glaciers to melt and recede. Warmer temperatures allow pine beetles to destroy more forests as they can survive winters and move further north. Valuable Antarctic and Arctic habitats are threatened as temperatures rise. Rising sea levels from melting ice could flood coastal areas, causing deaths, land loss, and environmental damage. Individual actions like reducing carbon emissions, recycling, and conserving energy can help address climate change.
Badlands national park
Badlands National Park is located in South Dakota and contains 242,755 acres of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires. It was made a national monument in 1929 and became a national park in 1978. The park offers many outdoor activities and is an important spot for paleontologists due to its fossil record dating from the late Cretaceous to Oligocene periods. The layered sedimentary rocks were deposited over millions of years, recording changing environments from a shallow inland sea to a forest to open savannah.
Surface features project
This document discusses different landforms including mountains, hills, plateaus, valleys, and plains. It defines each landform and explains how they are formed by natural processes like weathering, erosion, and movement of tectonic plates. The document includes a quiz to test understanding of key details about different landforms such as the difference between a mountain and hill, the definition of a plain, and identifies the tallest mountain on Earth.
Section ii and iii
Soil formation is a long process influenced by climate, rock type, vegetation, and time. Soil is composed of mineral particles, organic matter, air, and water. It has distinct layers called horizons that differ in composition and depth of organic matter and minerals. Soil type depends on climate, parent rock material, vegetation, and time for development, with some soils taking thousands of years to form.
What is desertification
Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert due to drought, deforestation or inappropriate agriculture. It can be controlled by stopping deforestation, planting new trees and using irrigation. Desertification affects plants and animals by depriving them of water and food. It can be prevented by conservation efforts like reforestation and establishing protected areas.
Land Form
The document discusses the key characteristics of plains landforms. Plains are flat, grassy areas that were formed over time as materials accumulated on the surface. They typically have vegetation like grass, flowers, and trees as well as bugs and animals. An example given is the Great Plains, and the document expresses excitement about visiting a Texas plain.
Geology Field Assignment
The document contains information about animals and geology observed around Lake Tahoe, including:
- Photos of a black bear taken near the author's house and a golden-mantled ground squirrel at Fallen Leaf Lake, including details about their biology.
- Images and descriptions of granitic outcrops at Kingsbury Grade and Twin Peaks formed from the Sierra Nevada batholith during the Mesozoic era.
- A photo of metamorphosed sandstone at Eagle Falls that was originally marine sediment subducted and uplifted 210 million years ago.
- An example of an angular unconformity observed on Kingsbury Grade where sedimentary layers are tilted diagonally.
Amazing places
The document describes several biomes, including the desert, wetlands, alpine, rainforest, savannah, grasslands, coastal, reef, and tundra biomes. It provides 1-2 descriptive words for each biome's characteristics, such as "hot and plain" for the desert biome, "wet and marshy" for the wetlands biome, and "freezing" for the tundra biome. The document aims to highlight the key features that define each global biome.
Soil
The document discusses soil profiles and their components. A soil profile is a cross-sectional view of soil and consists of different horizons. The topmost horizon, O horizon, contains mostly organic matter. The A horizon below it is topsoil with good amounts of organic matter and minerals. The B horizon, or subsoil, has less organic matter. The lowest C horizon is mostly parent material and does little for plant growth.
A Brief Tour through the Geology & Endemic Botany of the Klamath-Siskiyou Range
A hotspot of diversity for rare plants, butterflies and birds, the Klamath-Siskiyou region of southern Oregon is a scientist's (and naturalist's) paradise. This is transverse range running from the Cascades range to the Pacific Ocean, creating an east-west corridor between the coast and the volcanic Cascades range. Mark Madsen’s love of biology while living in the area for 15 years sparked an interest in botanical taxonomy in the world of serpentine soils and the plant communities thriving in the region, including remnant species from the last ice age.
Power point of the four kinds of soil
This document discusses the four major kinds of soil: texture, color, structure, and composition. Soil texture refers to the size of particles like sand, silt, and clay that make up the soil. Loam soil has an equal balance of small and large particles and is very healthy for plant life. Soil color indicates the amount of organic matter and nutrients, with darker soils being richer. Soil structure is the arrangement of particles into clumps called peds. Clay soil is dense with flat flakes that hold together tightly, while sandy soil is loose with no structure. Loam soil has a balanced composition of sand, silt and clay that makes it easy to till and an excellent growing medium for plants.
Sand & windmill
This document provides information about sand and windmills. It discusses how sand is formed from erosion of rocks, the different types of sand like glass sand and desert sand. It also outlines some common uses of sand in construction, leisure activities, and as a filtration medium. The document then describes different animals and plants that live in sandy environments like deserts. It provides details about desert climates and features such as oases, sand dunes, and sandstorms. Finally, it gives an overview of how a windmill works by catching wind with its blades to generate electricity.

The geological history of Lake Tahoe began nearly 400 million years ago when a shallow sea covered the area. Around 2 million years ago, the current Lake Tahoe basin formed due to vertical movement along faults. Uplifted blocks created surrounding mountain ranges while downward movement created the basin. Jeffrey Pine is the most common tree in the area, known for its long needles and resinous bark. Black bears are the largest carnivores in the region and can range in color, with cinnamon brown being most common. Granite formations in the area were created through the subduction and melting of ocean plates before slowly cooling and crystallizing below ground.
Tahoe basin
The Lake Tahoe Basin formed over millions of years through the movement of tectonic plates and glacial activity. Approximately 670 million years ago, the area was a shallow sea. As the plates collided and pushed against each other over 130 million years, lava plumes rose and granite formed. Around 10 million years ago, faults caused the Sierra Nevada to rise, creating the valley where Lake Tahoe now sits. The last ice age, ending 10,000 years ago, shaped features like Emerald Bay through glacial activity. Today, the area is surrounded by granite peaks and contains diverse plant and animal life.

Fallen Leaf Lake in California was most likely formed by two glaciers that traveled toward Glen Alpine Creek. Power Line Trail in South Lake Tahoe runs through El Dorado National Forest and was established in 1973. Carpenter ants are common black, red, or yellow ants found around homes that do not eat wood but feed on plant juices, small insects and fruits. They are inactive in winter but can be active if nests are in heated areas of buildings.
Field Assignment Part 1
Travis Maynard collected rock samples from Pismo Beach, CA and Coalinga, CA for a field assignment. Pismo Beach is a coastal town with a variety of sedimentary rocks due to water erosion. Coalinga is located in the central valley between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and was once under sea level, so there are coastal rocks and fossils. The majority of samples came from around Coalinga and Los Gatos Canyon 13 miles outside of Coalinga. The document identifies and classifies different igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks in the samples.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

- 3. Evidence of Glaciation Audrey Kolkana Lakes formed by glaciers • Cascade Lake and Fallen Leaf Lake were both carved by glaciers • Glaciers then melted and filled in Lake Tahoe and the surrounding alpine lakes • Glaciers also formed the ridge that is used as the road to Emerald Bay.
- 4. Greenleaf Manzanita Arctostaphylos patula • Related to mycorrhizal fungi • Greenleaf Manzanita is the most popular kind of Manzanita bush found in the Sierra Nevadas • It is found in high elevation, low elevation and adapts to drought conditions. • Needs to be visited by a insect to pollinate. • Thrives after fires because heat actually sends the seeds into germination Granite Lake, West Shore (USDA.GOV)
- 5. Lupinus perennis or Lupine • Requires pollination • From the pea family • Can self pollinate and cross pollinate • Grows all over western North America • Comes in all different colors • 165 different species • Adapts to drought conditions South Shore (www.fs.fed.us)
- 6. Slate• Metamorphic rock • Formed by clay sediment • Also made with tectonic plate pressure and activity • Usually, black, grey, or reddish brown Metamorphic Slate Glen Alpine Falls, Fallen Leaf Lake Angular unconformity* *Example of an angular unconformity because you can see an erosional surface tilted on top of younger rock
- 7. Granite • Granite boulders are found throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin. • Granite is easily identified due to its coarseness and its speckled look. • It is an igneous rock Party Rock, South Shore Eagle Lake, West Shore Desolation Wilderness, West Shore (Rock Key)
- 8. Sandstone North Zephyr Cove, East Shore • Made of sand, minerals and rock • Feels coarse to touch • Found near water source • Can be rubbed off with finger when identifying
- 9. Principle of Horizontality Fallen Leaf Lake, West Shore Here you see the principle of Horizontality because essentially the sediment was deposited into horizontal layers. Now it has been tilted up and out.
