Hydrological Cycle Paper Describe the Water Cycle, Including Sources of Usable Freshwater and Renewal Times for Rivers, Lakes, and Ground Water The water cycle is the process through which water evaporates from the earth surface and comes back as precipitation (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, n. d.). The evaporating water goes to the atmosphere, after which it condenses to form snow or rain. The rain falls to the earth surface as precipitation. Lakes and rivers collect the water falling as rain, making them sources of usable freshwater. Also, the rainwater may be collected in the soil, forming groundwater. Once the water in the lakes, rivers, oceans, or soil is heated, it evaporates. As a result, the water cycle starts all over again. Explain How Wetland Destruction and Creation of Impervious Surfaces through Urban Development Affect the Water Cycle and Contribute to Flooding Wetlands comprise of bogs, marshes and swamps as well as other areas that are periodically covered by water (United States Environmental Protection Agency, n. d.).

Urea Concentrations and Soil Bacteria Activity Internal Assessment Personal engagement Soil microorganisms play an important role in the decomposition of organic matter, fertilizing the soil, and cycling nutrients. I have always loved agriculture and eliminating food shortage in the world has been my dream. It is through improved agricultural technology that my dream will come true. Soil bacterial will play a pivotal role in ensuring that there are fewer plant diseases as well as higher yields.

Understanding how soil bacteria perform in the presence of different urea concentrations will help in determining the fertilizers that can lead to higher agricultural production. Therefore, the internal assessment on urea concentration and soil bacteria activity is related to my personal life. Exploration The Effect of Different Urea Concentration and Soil Ph on Soil Bacterial Activity Research question This internal assessment will be answering the question: How does urea concentration affect soil bacterial activity? The dependent variable is the rate of soil bacteria activity that…
Human Risks on Lake Contamination Problem setting Contamination and pupation is an integral aspect of modernity. Just as humans have a significant part in air pollution, human activities have been known to have a far-reaching impact on the aquatic ecosystems, including the lakes. The industrialization era across the globe was characterized by the boom of industrial activities and the extensive commercialization of agriculture. Agriculture and industrial activities depend on a constant supply of clean water. Natural sources of water, like the rivers and the lake, are known to be reliable sources of water. After production, the water that was cleaned is expected to be purified and channeled back to the source from which it was obtained. Standards have been established for the quality of water that is released back to the environment. Due to constant activity, monitoring of the water discharge presents a significant challenge for the authorities. In some instances, water is laced with chemicals in unacceptable limits, and the release of such contaminated water has far-reaching environmental impacts. Agricultural activity and domestic use also have the potential…
