Nature Matters (or How to save the planet)
A series of tips on how to save the environment. Bear in mind this presentation was created by my son but because he isn't 18 years old yet, I'm posting it here for him.
---------------------------------------------
I'd love to hear your thoughts about the presentation on the comments. Go ahead and comment!
Jupiter Great Spot (Storm)
This presentation is about Great spot on Jupiter. It covers facts of Jupiter, what is happening in Great Spot Region, facts of Great Spot and why it is necessary to know such facts.

Renewable energy
1. Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are replenished, including sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.
2. Solar energy has the highest available energy flux of all renewable sources. Common instruments for measuring solar radiation include pyranometers, pyrheliometers, sunshine recorders, and albedometers.
3. Wind power currently makes the largest contribution to renewable power production, followed by solar and geothermal. Tidal range is greatest during spring tides when the sun and moon are aligned.
Environmental Hazards - Grand Canyon
A rare total inversion was observed between November 29th and 30th by visitors to Grand Canyon National Park. Photographs taken from Mather Point on the South Rim showed clouds trapped below the rim by warmer air above. Cloud inversions occur through the interaction of warm and cold air masses.
CSA_Structural_2015
This document summarizes restoration materials and technologies from ConSpec including Ambex, Cintec, Helifix, Ruredil, and VoidSpan. The technologies are for anchoring, strengthening, and stabilizing masonry and concrete structures. They include cement anchoring capsules, wall ties, structural strengthening systems, fiber reinforced cement matrix systems, and systems for filling voids. Many of the technologies have been used successfully for over 10 years and can help reduce costs, risks, and construction time for restoration projects.
Tale of Two Towers
The document discusses two options for addressing unstable towers on a building: removing the towers to the roof level or stabilizing the towers. Stabilizing the towers is presented as the preferred option as it is half the cost of removal and maintains the existing aesthetics of the building. Stabilization would involve drilling holes, installing cement-based anchors of varying lengths, and inflating the anchors to secure the towers.

P P Jill S Group
The document discusses a student project about connections between animals, humans, and habitats and how humans impact the environment. The students hypothesized that education could build empathy and encourage environmental action. They screened the movie Earth for 700 students and surveyed them before and after. The students found that the movie helped educate people and build empathy for environmental issues. Their research showed various impacts of climate change and humans' responsibility to address it through actions like recycling, reducing energy and water use, and carpooling.
Period 7 - Alexander Chiem- Global Warming has to be prevented
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere and changing weather patterns. The main causes are carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, methane from livestock, and deforestation. Prevention methods include recycling, switching to energy efficient light bulbs, and reducing fossil fuel usage through actions like carpooling. Addressing the causes of global warming is important to avoid future suffering from its effects.
