Encyclopedia of Global Resources part 3

Encyclopedia of Global Resources part 3 provides a wide variety of perspectives on both traditional and more recent views of Earth's resources. It serves as a bridge connecting the domains of resource exploitation, environmentalism, geology, and biology, and it explains their interrelationships in terms that students and other nonspecialists can understand. The articles in this set are extremely diverse, with articles covering soil, fisheries, forests, aluminum, the Industrial Revolution, the U.S. Department of the Interior, the hydrologic cycle, glass, and placer mineral deposits. . | Global Resources Unit Quantity Symbol Equivalents Rod square Area rd2 25.293 square meters 30.25 square yards 0.00625 acre Second Time s or sec 1 60 minute 1 3600 hour Tablespoon Volume capacity T or tb 3 teaspoons 4 fluid drams Teaspoon Volume capacity t or tsp 0.33 tablespoon 1.33 fluid drams Ton gross or long Mass weight t 2 240 pounds 1.12 net tons 1.016 metric tons Ton metric Mass weight t 1 000 kilograms 2 204.62 pounds 0.984 gross ton 1.102 net tons Ton net or short Mass weight t 2 000 pounds 0.893 gross ton 0.907 metric ton Volt Electric potential V 1 joule per coulomb Watt Power W 1 joule per second 0.001 kilowatt 2.84345136093995 x 10 4 ton of refrigeration Yard Length yd 0.9144 meter Yard cubic Volume capacity yd3 0.765 cubic meter Yard square Area yd2 0.836 square meter xx Complete List of Contents Volume 1 Publisher s Note.v Contributors.ix Contents.xiii Common Units of Measure.xv Abrasives.1 Acid precipitation.3 Aerial photography.5 Agenda 21.7 Aggregates.8 Agricultural products.13 Agriculture industry.16 Agronomy.21 Air pollution and air pollution control.22 Alaska pipeline.27 Alloys .28 Aluminum.30 American Chemistry Council.35 American Farm Bureau Federation.36 American Forest and Paper Association.37 American Gas Association.37 American Mining Congress.38 American Petroleum Institute.39 Animal breeding.39 Animal domestication.42 Animal power.47 Animals as a medical resource.50 Antarctic treaties.52 Antimony.54 Antiquities Act.56 Aquifers.57 Argentina.59 Army Corps of Engineers U.S.65 Arsenic.66 Asbestos . 68 Asphalt . 73 Aspinall Wayne.75 Astor John Jacob.76 Athabasca oil sands . 77 Atmosphere. 79 Atomic Energy Acts . 83 Atomic Energy Commission . 84 Australia . 85 Austria . 90 Barite.96 Belgium.97 Beryllium.101 Bessemer process.103 Biodiversity.104 Biofuels.108 Biological invasions.112 Biomes.114 Biopyriboles.117 Biosphere.119 Biosphere reserves.121 Biotechnology.124 Bismuth.129 Borax.130 Boron.133 Botany.135 Brass.136 Brazil.136 Brick.142 .
