The major continents of the world include North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica, and the important oceans are the Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Southern Ocean.

Explanation of Solution

The Earth is made up of seven major continents and five important oceans. When the oceans encompass almost 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, the seven continents cover much of the remaining portions of the Earth. However, the islands occupy a portion that is less than 2 percent.

The major continents include Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. The world oceans comprise the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean (Antarctic Ocean).

For this question you should read sections 2.1 to 2.5 in Fetter (1993) and it will be helpful to refer to the publication by Ogata and Banks (1961). Using the Ogata-Banks analytical solution to the advection-dispersion equation (see attached Excel spreadsheet), answer the questions below. Read Section 2.2 to understand the characteristics of the complimentary error function. Plot the results with concentration (C) on the Y axis and Time on the X axis. This form of plot is known as a breakthrough curve. Conceptual Model An unlined waste disposal site is located some distance L from a pristine river system. The waste disposal site is built on a sandy aquifer that has a relatively high permeability and the groundwater velocity varies seasonally from 0.2 to 0.8 m/day. The groundwater flow direction is from the waste disposal site toward the adjacent river.
