Effect of Salt Concentration, Kind of Salt, and Climate on Plant Growth in Sand Cultures.
Introduction Many western farmers believe that soil alkali is more detrimental to crop growth during the hot weather than during the cooler seasons of the year. Other agricultural workers have noted that damage to crops due to alkali (soil salinity) is more serious in the hot interior valleys than along the coast where the climate is more moderable. It is not definitely known whether or not soi...
متن کاملThe dune effect on sand-transporting winds on Mars
Wind on Mars is a significant agent of contemporary surface change, yet the absence of in situ meteorological data hampers the understanding of surface-atmospheric interactions. Airflow models at length scales relevant to landform size now enable examination of conditions that might activate even small-scale bedforms (ripples) under certain contemporary wind regimes. Ripples have the potential ...
متن کاملUse of Samalayuca Dune Sand on Glass and Ceramics Processes
Silica sand is widely used in the transformation industry. For instance, it is used in the making of glass, silicates, paints, glass-ceramics and ceramics. Traditionally, glass and ceramic materials have been manufactured using high-purity silica and minerals taken from ore on the surface of the earth. However, during recent decades, the manufacture of household and industrial products has incr...
متن کاملThe Physics of Sand Dune Formation and Migration on Mars
Sand dunes have been observed throughout the surface of the planet Mars. Movement of these dunes has been theorized and inferred from the lack of craters on dunes. Dune movement has not yet been directly imaged, however. Understanding sand movement processes is vital to a correct Martian climate model, as well as the safety of future missions to Mars. Imagery from several Martian orbiters was a...
متن کاملStudies on Salt Action
1. The strain of Bacterium coli used in these experiments multiplies in distilled water at pH 6.0 and pH 8.0 and in Ringer-Locke solution at pH 6.0. Under all the other conditions studied the numbers decrease with the passage of time. 2. The electrophoretic charge of the cells is highest in distilled water at pH 6.0 and pH 8.0. Under all other conditions studied the velocity of migration is dec...
