GEOLOGY 100, PROJECT 5 (Due Week 6)

Prior to answering the following questions make sure you read WEEK 5 Overview and Learning Resources. Also, you are expected to research outside sources from the course Webliography (under Content) and the Internet. Answers must be in APA-style paragraph form with proper APA citations. Graphics may be used to support your answers, but make sure you cite your source below the graphic. 

1) Sketch or diagram “your interpretation” of the “Hydrologic Cycle”. What is the ultimate energy source for the water cycle to function on Earth? Label the major processes of the water cycle concept in the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. Use arrows to show the progression of water (H2O) through the cycle.

2) Define and describe the following geologic surface water terms and make sure you give a geologic location example for each term: 

· drainage basin (watershed)

· drainage divide and continental divide

· stream erosion features: water falls, canyon (gorge), and V-shaped valley 

· stream deposition features: stream load, alluvial material (alluvium), flood plain, and river delta.

3) Define “groundwater” and discuss its origin and role in the hydrologic cycle. Then define and describe the following groundwater terms: 

· porosity vs. permeability

· saturated vs. unsaturated zones (also called zone of saturation and zone of aeration)

· water table

· aquifer (describe one in detail)

4) Visit the Virtual Caves website and then describe the geological formation of caves and caverns, with an example of each of the following cave types:

· solution caves 

· sea caves 

· erosional caves 

· lava tube caves

5) View the video at Karst Topography: A Unique and Fragile Environment then discuss in a few paragraphs karst geology, including the origin of the term “karst”, the cave-forming rock types present, and the major karst surface and subsurface features. What is the major geologic hazard associated with karst regions? Choose one karst and/or cavern location in the USA (or other country) and discuss and describe the area, any unique subsurface life, and the human threats to this fragile environment.

1.

Genetics and Reproduction

Create at least a 350-word blog post in Microsoft® Word in response to the following question:

Female copperhead snakes have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. In your opinion, which method is best for the species in general and why? 

Develop your opinion and include the following in your post:

*Discuss asexual and sexual reproduction in terms of genetic diversity. How is meiosis related to genetic diversity? 

*Use one of Gregor Mendel’s ideas to support your opinion.

Cite your sources according to APA guidelines. See the Center for Writing Excellence for more information on using APA style.

2.

Genetics and Inheritance

Review information on genetic disorders on the National Human Genome Research Institute Site: http:// a genetic disorder that can be inherited from a parent. Write a 525- to 700-word paper on the genetic disorder. Include the following in your paper:

Summarize the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance and how chromosomal abnormalities can lead to genetic disorders.

*Describe the relationship between chromosomes and DNA.

*Identify an example of a genetic disorder and describe the genetic disorder including symptoms, impact on quality of life, and life expectancy. How common is this disorder? Does it run in specific ethnic bloodlines?

Format your paper according to APA guidelines. Review the Academic Writing Guidelines video and the Center for Writing Excellence for additional guidance on academic writing and APA style.

Alpha Company used the periodic inventory system for purchase & sales of merchandise. Discount terms for both purchase & sales are, FOB Destination, 2/10, n30 and the gross method is used.

> Alpha Company sold on account $2,500 of merchandise to Bravo Company on May 2, 2016. Selling price was $4,000. Freight charges related to this transaction of $150 were paid by Alpha Company.

> Bravo Company returned, to Alpha Company, $250 of this merchandise on May 3, 2016. Merchandise was sold for $400

Use this information to prepare Alpha Company’s General Journal entries (without explanation) for May 2 & May 3 entries. If no entry is required then write “No Entry Required.”

BreatheCorp manufactures two types of Portable Oxygen Concentrator Batteries: lithium ion and NiMH. Fifty-six percent of the batteries they produce are lithium ion. They offer a 5,000 hour warrantee on each of the batteries they sell, and 93% of all batteries exceed 5,000 hours of useful life. Furthermore, 53% of all the batters sold are both all lithium ion AND exceed 5,000 hours of life. You can find this information filled out in the contingency table in the Data tab. Use this information to answer the following questions.Problem 2.1″Use probability theory to answer the following questions:(a) Give an example (related to the setting of the question) of a simple event.(b) Give an example (related to the setting of the question) of a joint event.(c) Use the information given to complete the contingency table.(d) What is the probability that a battery selected at random is a NiMH battery?(e) What is the probability that a battery selected at random fails to exceed 5,000 hours?(f) What is the probability that a battery selected at random is either a NiMH or fails to exceed 5,000 hours?(g) What is the probability that a battery selected at random is both an NiMH and exceeds 5,000 hours?(h) What is the probability that an NiMH battery selected at random exceeds 5,000 hours of life?(i) What is the probability that a lithium ion battery selected at random exceeds 5,000 hours of life?”Problem 2.2″Assume that BreatheCorp sells their lithium ion batteries for $350 each and their NiMH batteries for $285 each. Further assume that the cost of producing a lithium ion battery is $280 and the cost of producing a NiMH battery is $245. Finally, assume that if a battery does not last 5,000 hours, BreatheCorp will replace it free of charge to the consumer; BreatheCorp will incur the cost of replacement, but will not receive any additional revenue.(a) Calculate the profit earned/loss incurred on; a lithium ion that exceeds 5,000 hours, a lithium ion that does not exceed 5,000 hours, a NiMH that exceeds 5,000 hours, and a NiMH that fails to last 5,000 ours.(b) What is the expected value (expected profit) of producing a lithium ion battery? A NiMH battery?(c) What is the variance and standard deviation (of profit, NOT of battery life) for producing an NiMH battery? Of producing a lithium ion battery? “Problem 2.3″Assume that BreatheCorp battery life is normally distributed and that battery types have have a mean life of 5,750 hours. Furthermore, the standard deviation of battery life for NiMH batteries is 561.72 hours and the standard deviation of battery life for lithium ion is 465.5 miles.(a) EXTRA CREDIT-Using the probabilities you calculated in problem 2.1, show that the numbers given here for the standard deviation of each battery type are correct. Note: depending on rounding, the numbers you calculate may be slightly higher or lower than the ones given in the problem.(b) If BreatheCorp wanted to ensure that 95% of their batteries exceeded the warrantee, what would they have to set their warrantee at for NiMH batteries? For lithium ion tires?Excel Tips:Excel has a trio of built in functions that are useful for calculating Z scores and dealing with the standard normal distribution. These are =STANDARDIZE, =NORMSINV, and =NORMSDIST. See the Excel helpfile for details on how to use these functions.”Problem 2.4″In problem 2.3, you were given mean battery life and standard deviations of battery life for each battery type. Use this information to calculate:(a) The probability that a sample of 16 NiMH will have an average battery life of more than 6,000 hours.(b) The probability that a sample of 64 NiMH will have an average battery life of more than 6,000 hours.(c) The probability that a sample of 5 lithium ion batteries will have an average life of less than 5,000 hours.(d) The probability that a sample of 20 lithium ion batteries will have an average life of less than 5,000 hours.”
