...technique of spectroscopy – more about this later. The Sun, as a typical star, is almost completely made from hydrogen and helium gas – about 98%. The remainder is decreasing amounts of every other known element, all the way up to the heaviest element, which is uranium. The core of the Sun is undergoing a process called nuclear fusion, in this case, hydrogen burning....

...techniques of production that firms can use, and as a result each technique will be associated with different shaped cost curves. Some of the techniques may have economies of scale, but like in the mega dairy example in the video, may only provide a cost saving if firms can produce at very high quantities. It suggests for firms to maximise profit, they will need to find...

Eutrophication

...techniques are required for reducing external loadings of nutrients into ecosystems. Although algal production requires both nitrogen and phosphorus supplies, it is usually sufficient to reduce only one major nutrient. An analogy can be drawn with motor cars, which require lubricating oil, fuel and coolant to keep them moving and are likely to stop if they run short of...
