Who Can you provide A+ work?

EARTH SCIENCE

  1. Explain how an accretionary wedge forms.

  2. Explain why Africa and South America are moving apart.

  3. What is a hot spot? Explain how this forms a volcanic island chain such as that of the Hawaiian Islands.

  4. What evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his hypothesis of continental drift? What additional evidence was added later (post-World War II) as oceanographers began to explore the ocean floor? How do these two ideas unite to form the theory of plate tectonics? 
    Your response should be at least 200 words in length. (200 WORD COUNT ONLY APPLIES TO THIS QUESTION #4!)






HAZARDOUS MATERIAL


1. A truck transporting concentrated acetic acid was involved in a non-injury accident resulting in the release of 300 gallons of acid. Part of the mitigation is to neutralize the spilled acid with a solid material such as air-slaked lime. Air-slaked lime is a commercially available product that consists of calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Quicklime is the common name for calcium hydroxide. When quicklime is exposed to moist air, it absorbs atmospheric CO2 and forms calcium carbonate.

1.Show the chemical formula of air-slaked lime. Explain the chemical interaction involved with the use of air-slaked lime to neutralize the acid. Is this an effective neutralization method for this release?


2.Explain why OSHA requires employers to limit employee exposure to acetic acid vapors.

Your total response must be at least 200 words in length.




2. The element titanium occurs on earth as titanium (IV) oxide and is found mostly in the mineral called rutile. Rutile is abundant in beach sands in Australia and South Africa. For titanium to be useful, rutile has to be processed to obtain the basic metal form of titanium. Although the process is costly, titanium is gaining popularity as a material for various equipment due to its strength and light weight. One such application is in sports equipment.

  1. Explain the chemical process of manufacturing the metal form of titanium.

  2. Explain why titanium is a good choice of material for golf clubs. When not in use, discuss at least one precaution to observe when storing clubs?

  3. During the fabrication of golf clubs, finely divided titanium is generated, which poses a dangerous risk of fire and explosion. Explain the chemical process involved.

Your total response must be at least 200 words in length.


INCULTURAL MANAGEMENT

  1. Different cultures value personal, face-to-face contact and relationships with a different level of reverence. What are some cultures around the world where you might want to utilize more one-on-one contact rather than sole use of technology to motivate employees?
    Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

  2. Describe positive and negative outcomes that can result from societal, political, and cultural differences when managing a corporation in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
