Sore throat is a symptom, not a disease. In each case, there was a different cause that dictated a different treatment. The scratchy throat probably was a mechanical problem caused by dry, heated winter air and aggravated by my friend's tendency to breathe through her mouth when she sleeps.
Biogeochemistry includes the history of the great carbon reservoirs in the crust of the Earth, like limestone rocks and the coal deposits, as well as the distribution of nitrate and phosphate in the ocean.
Cross-section illustrating how carbon dioxide and water can be used to flush residual oil from a subsurface rock formation between wells. Crude oil development and production in U.S. oil reservoirs can include up to three distinct phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary (or enhanced) recovery. During primary recovery, the natural pressure of the reservoir or gravity drive oil into the wellbore, combined with artificial lift techniques (such as pumps) which bring the oil to the surface.
