Hurricanes
907 Words - 4 Pages

.... doldrums and travel across the warm ocean waters while building up energy and strength. After they hit land they begin to lose speed and die off due to friction. In the Northern Hemisphere usually travel first in a northwestern direction and in the higher latitudes turn toward the northeast. In the Southern Hemisphere the usual path of a hurricane is first to the southwest and then turning toward the southeast. are characterized by strong winds and pouring rain. Thunderstorms and waterspouts appear in the storm's cloud system. All contain an eye. The eye of a hurricane is a low pressure, calm area in the middle of the storm. The air in the eye is sinking and this ....


CLONING HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO F
1295 Words - 5 Pages

.... ewe's own DNA. After fusing, the cell began to divide as would a regular embryo. The embryo was then implanted in a third ewe who only a few months later gave birth to Dolly 1 . Upon news of this, many people began to question the possibility of not only creating genetically identical sheep, but humans as well. There has been much controversy on whether or not the cloning of humans as well as animals is ethical or even moral. Also there has been much discussion as to whether or not the benefits of cloning outweigh the dangers. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CLONING RESEARCH? There is no doubt that Dr. Wilmut's new discoveries have brought an uproar of excitement between ....


The Search For Black Holes: Both As A Concept And An Understanding
2169 Words - 8 Pages

.... goal of this paper is to explain how the concept of a black hole came about, and give some insight on how black holes are formed and might be tracked down in our more technologically advanced future. Gaining an understanding of a black hole allows for a greater understanding of the concept of spacetime and maybe give us a grasp of both science fiction and science fact. Hopefully, all the clarification will come by the close of this essay. A black hole is probably one of the most misunderstood ideas among people outside of the astronomical and physical communities. Before an understanding of how it is formed can take place, a bit of an introduction to stars is nece ....


Coelacanths
373 Words - 2 Pages

.... In December of 1938, however, fishermen off the eastern coast of South Africa caught a living coelacanth. It was so similar to its ancient relatives that it was called a "living fossil." For years after this fortunate discovery, scientists searched for another living coelacanth. Finally, off the Comero Islands, north of Madagascar, they met with success. Since then, more than 200 specimens have been found, all in the same region. Apart from the novelty of being such rare fish, have very great zoological importance. First, they are "living fossils"-a life form that has been preserved almost unchanged for many millions of years. As such, they offer the scientist a ....


Rustproofing
586 Words - 3 Pages

.... theoretically slowing rust formation. There are a number of major problems with Capacitive Coupling for vehicles. Firstly, if there are stone chips or cracks in the paint, the dielectric is broken and so the charge is lost. So you need to make sure that there is no bare metal, chips or cracks on the vehicle, which is impractical. Another problem is that it is almost impossible to hold a charge (potential difference) on a sharp thin edge of metal, and so this technology is not really suited for vehicles, which are made up of many irregular shapes. Because of this, it is also ineffective on existing rust and the areas surrounding it, as rust always causes sharp edges and dama ....


The China Syndrome
500 Words - 2 Pages

.... Jack. Jack went to the Ventanna Nuclear Power Plant to hide from the people following him. After arriving, Jack went to the control room to find that the people running the plant were making a big mistake. He saw the people raising the power back up to 100%. He tried to explain that there could be another accident if they raised the power all the way because of a problem with the pumps. The people didn't believe Jack and were starting to raise the power up again. When Jack saw what they were doing he grabbed the security officer's gun and forced everyone out of the control room. After he locked the door he lowered the power down to 75% so the pumps wouldn't break. Jack ag ....


Genetic Faltering
1793 Words - 7 Pages

.... a major problem to the modern day world. With the deteriorating conditions of the earth today, the use of genetics will further break down our fragile planet. As of 1998, many experiments have been done in the field of genetics, in the next section, I will discuss a few. First, genetics came into the public view in the early 1970’s when a scientist named Paul Berg began experimenting with a strain of E.coli bacteria called SV40. (Tagliaferro 69) This was the public beginning to the struggle surrounding genetics. Berg was not very intelligent about the way he conducted his tests, and he was forced to stop, until the National Institute of Health determined that SV40 wa ....


Preserve The Forests
529 Words - 2 Pages

.... of forests. All old growth forests have been around for multiple centuries and are cut down daily in a matter of hours in order to produce more buildings and houses in this already over-crowded world. If the rate at which we cut down trees is continued without any regulation, the forests will all be gone in ten years, so we should do mankind a favor and try to preserve what is left. If the old growth forests are gone, then they can never return because it takes over five generations to produce one and at the rate that the human population is increasing, there is not enough land to have a secure place for a new forest. If we realize that it is best for the hu ....
