Menstruation

    Menstruation is a monthly sloughing off of the lining of the underutilized womb. Menstruation has different meanings in different societies while it has different significance for different women. But most society share the view that mensuration is a sign of sexual maturity although it does not necessarily indicate reproductive maturity.
    Some girls readily accept the first menstrual period. They are joyful and excited while others are ashamed. This indicates how well girls are prepared for menarche, in terms of both information and attitudes. In recent times, menarche has been occurring earlier than attitude. Girls first menarche is in between 12 years.
    Many researches have been carried out in recent years to determine the psychological effects of the marked fluctuations of hormonal levels that are connected to the menstrual cycle. One of the research says that most women experience depression, irritability, anxiety, and low self esteem during the days immediately preceding menstruation. Other researchers have also correlated women's well being with hormonal levels. Women are more alert at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, more relaxed at ovulation, angrier, more excitable and more tired during the premenstrual period. It was noted that the arrival of the menses usually brings some relaxation of tension, and as oestrogen production increases, the woman continues to feel better. But these observation did not apply for all women but majority of them could be said to experience these.

Natural soil

 Natural soils are influenced by rainfall and temperature,heavy rain causes the soil to become leached. High temperatures increase the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, thereby lowering its humus content. Thus, climatic conditions tend to produce poor soils in the tropics and rich soils in the temperate regions. Besides climate and vegetation, the parent rock material also contributes to the quality of the soil. For example volcanic rocks tend to produce fertile soils.    Laterite, a red soil which is a product of leaching, is commonly found in the tropics. It is composed mainly of iron and aluminium compounds,and poor in humus and essential plant nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. The black and brown soil of the temperate grasslands are the world's richest soils, with a high mineral and humus content. The light coloured desert soils tend to be very rich in minerals but have a low humus content.    Mainly the soils ar...

Rock Formation

A rock may be defined as a hard compact mass made up of cluster of primary or secondary minerals. The primary minerals are those that are as they were made in nature. Some of them are Quartz, Olivine, Pyroxene, Hornblende, Biotite, Muscovite and feldspar. On the other hand, secondary minerals consists of particles worn out from original minerals which have combined with other elements. They exist in form of: (i) Oxide such as those of magnesium, Iron and Aluminum. (ii) Sulphates and carbonates of Iron, Magnesium and Calcium. (iii) Clay minerals such as the silicate clays and the hydrous Oxide.   TYPES OF ROCKS (i) Igneous rock (ii) sedimentary rock (iii) Metamorphic rock. Based on their chemical composition, we have basic and acidic rocks. Granite is a very good example of an acid rock. PROCESSES OF ROCK FORMATION IGNEOUS ROCK :This is formed through the process of cooling and hardening of the molten magma. This molten magna is confined deep down below the earth crust und...

Tin ore

    Tin ore and columbite are two minerals that co-occur in the form of heavy black grains like gunpowder, mixed with sand and gravel. They are deposited in alluvial beds of old river valleys and subsequently buried under layers of soil overburden. The ore is mined by the open cast method. To do this, a powerful machine called a dragline is used to first remove the overburden, and then to scoop out the tin ore which it piles in heaps called a monitor is used to direct a powerful jet of water to this tin wash, which washes it down through a series of sluice boxes. Here, the black, heavy tin grains together with other minerals like columbite, now called tin concentrates, sink to the bottom of the boxes, while the water carries the dirt and sand away.     At this stage, the columbite grains are separated from the pure tin concentrates. The concentrates are then sent to factories to be smelted refined and moulded in bars called tin ingots. It is in the form of either ...
