Geology Fo Mars
1330 Words - 5 Pages.... to be old stream channels. This implies that there could have been liquid water on the surface.
The surface of Mars is varied greatly between north and south. This has been largely attributed to volcanism and erosion. Mars is similar to our moon in the southern hemisphere. This region is referred to as the “Highlands” of Mars. The area is pitted with numerous craters that reach between one to four km above the datum. Ejecta from the impact scatter around the crater making a rim like structure.
The northern hemisphere is very low compared to the southern hemisphere. In the north the ground level rarely reaches above one km below the datum. This st ....

Biotechnology
770 Words - 3 Pages.... has been impossible until now, with Genetic-Engineering.
I doubt that there have been any real disadvantages with this
technology, since it works to heal the patient, but we really can't
predict what kind of medical misfits there will be in the future,
using this life-saving technology to their own personal, perhaps evil,
advantages.
Dealing with politics, Bioengineering has opened a whole new
door pertaining to the military, whose use of it may create an
ultimate destruction. The alterance of nature is un-natural, and creates
an unbalancement in life. When we use this technology towards the
wrong side, we may all be burned. You see, Biotechnology has the
ability to altar ....

Freezing Point
510 Words - 2 Pages.... the
same temperature until it has become completely solid, because heat is
given off by the substance in its change from the liquid to the solid state.
Hence, the freezing point or melting point of a pure substance may also be
defined as the temperature at which freezing or melting continues once it
has commenced.
All solids melt when heated to their melting points, but most liquids can
remain liquid even though cooled below their freezing points. A liquid may
remain in this supercooled state for some time. This phenomenon is
explained by molecular theory, which conceives the molecules of a solid as
being well ordered and the molecules of a liquid as being disordered. To
sol ....

and Robert Oppenheimer, each with their own ideas of what it would take to
construct such a weapon.
From left to right: Neils Borh, Robert Oppenheimer, Richard Feyman, Enrico Fermi
The object of the project was to produce a practical military weapon in the form
of a bomb in which the energy would be released by a fast neutron chain reaction
in one or more of the materials known to show nuclear fission. That goal was to
be completed in 1945 after the U.S.A. spent over 6.7 Billion Dollars on the test
bomb named the "Trinity". I t was dropped on Alagormado in Texas on July 16th
1945.
When Albert Einstein heard about the "Trinity" he called the president directly
and ....

Natural Disasters

hurricanes. Furthermore, I am going to look at the economical affects that
hurricanes have on the United States. There are many reasons why I chose to use
this variable. The main reason is I couldn't think of another topic that fit
into e veryone's lives and had an effect on everyone.
The hurricane year is broken up into two seasons. They are referred to
as early season and late season. The early season starts June first and runs to
September 10. The late season starts on September 10 and runs to the end of
November. The date of September 10 is the midway point between the two seasons.
This is the date that separates early season from late season. This leads me to
wh ....

The Sequence Of Chemical Reactions
590 Words - 3 Pages.... check the balance
and record the mass of the remaining mixture in the vial. In the laboratory
hood, dissolve the copper with ~ 3 mL of nitric acid. Allow the beaker to
remain under the hood until the fumes cease. The remaining solution should be
blue. Bring the beaker back to the lab station and add ~ 10 mL of distilled
water. Stir the mixture, all the while adding ~ 8 mL of 6M of NaOH to the
beaker. Check with litmus paper to ensure that it is slightly basic. Fill the
beaker with up to 100 mL mark with distilled water. Heat the solution and allow
it to boil for 5 minutes. Prepare a squirt bottle with hot water. Filter the
solution and rinse the beaker with ....

The Mystery Of Area 51
1024 Words - 4 Pages.... (Hammen 62). What is this mystery that the
government has been hiding for 50 years? The answer is Area 51.
Area 51 was built in the 1950's by the CIA as a top secret area of
defense. It was the testing grounds for such war planes as the Aurora
Project, SK-71 Blackbird, and the F-117a Stealth fighter spy plane (Misage
15). According to many Americans, these are not the only flying machinery
which exists in Area 51.
On July 7, 1947, two ranchers in Roswell, New Mexico, observed
something that would be the beginning of what might be one of mankind's
most unexplained phenomenons in history. According to these ranchers, (who
asked to be anonymous) a flying object came ou ....

Klinefelter Syndrome
912 Words - 4 Pages.... hormone imbalance. While Dr. Harry Klinefelter accurately described this condition in 1942, it was not until 1956 that other researchers reported that many boys with this description had 47 chromosomes in each cell of their bodies instead of the usual number of 46. This extra sex (X) chromosome causes the distinctive make-up of these boys. All men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, but sometimes a variation will result in a male with an extra X. This is and is often written as 47,XXY. There are other, less common variations such as 48,XXYY; 48,XXXY; 49,XXXXY; and XY/XXY mosaic. All of these are considered variants.
The major effect of the extra X chromosome in b ....
