Ocean Environment
2944 Words - 11 Pages.... similar characteristics. These findings convinced many that a method of
study was needed. The study of oceans was named oceanography.
Density, salinity, and temperature are very important concepts in the
study of oceanography. The salinity and temperature of the water influence its
density, and the differences in density are the major factor in understanding
the formation of currents and the positions of water masses in the sea. In
addition, temperature and salinity play major roles in influencing the
distribution of plants and animals.
The sediments of the sea floor may be divided into lithogenous,
hydrogenous, biogenous, and cosmogenous sediments. Lithogenous s ....

Fusion: Our Future's Energy?
967 Words - 4 Pages.... into two smaller nuclei after absorbing a neutron. This happens because the extra neutron made it unstable. This produces more neutrons that bombard more Uranium nuclei, causing a chain reaction that produces an enormous amount of energy.
The problem is the nuclear waste that is produces. It is very radioactive and will not become stable for a very long time. Such a harmful substance is a great health concern and needs to be disposed of. Another problem is the energy it needs. It uses an element that is hard to find and which will eventually run out. Also, the reaction cannot be easily stopped and if it can't be stopped, a nuclear meltdown can occur. This is a seri ....

The Cambrian Period
231 Words - 1 Pages.... 570 million years ago to 500 million years ago, 70 million
years. It¹s very important because it corresponds with the firs t appearance of
abundant fossils especially Trilobites, which characterizes a succeeding point
in time. During the Cambrian Period the lapetus Ocean appeared, the
predecessor of the Atlantic Ocean, which separated the young North American and
Eurasian continents. Also Gondwanaland was in the final stages of development.
Gondwanaland was a very large continent made up of what is now South America,
Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. Large shelled
organisms first emerged during the Cambrian. Also Earth¹s atmosphere containe ....

Bacillus Anthracis
296 Words - 2 Pages.... ability to form endospores, and produced experimental Anthrax by injecting it into animals. was the first bacterium shown to be the cause of a disease. is a very large, gram positive sporeforming rod. The organism is cultivated on ordinary nutrient medium and grows best aerobically, but can also multiply under anaerobic conditions. The disease, Anthrax, is very deadly but it is rare. The risk of infection is 1/100,000. The disease is acquired when spores from a contaminated animal carcass inoculate an open wound. Then, the spores germinate and invade the blood stream, leading to death within 48 hours. is classified as a harmful, pathogenic bacterium. There is a vaccine for ....

Should The Harris Superquarry Go Ahead?
2034 Words - 8 Pages.... is the best solution to the problems of a remote rural area.
What will happen when the jobs come to an end and would another form of
investment not be more appropriate to their needs? Would the presence of a
quarry restrict the choice for further development? Could an integrated
approach be adopted and a 2nd generation quarry planned? The decision of
whether or not to go ahead cannot be delayed indefinitely as Norway and Spain
are looking at developing their own. If it is to go ahead then an early start
will give Harris a stronger position in the market.

The Future Of NASA

in our daily lives include the vacuum cleaner, pacemaker, pens that can write
upside-down, and the zero-gravity training system. The vacuum cleaner was
originally a great tool for astronauts in outer space. It is now a very helpful
tool for cleaning our homes. The pacemaker is a form of life-support on
spacecrafts, helping astronomers' hearts pump while they are outside of the
Earth's atmosphere. It is used, on Earth, for those who's hearts have problems
with pumping blood. Pens that write upside-down are used in space, where there
is no gravity and writing with pens would otherwise be impossible. They are
convenient tools on Earth when we ....

The Roswell Incident
The Roswell Incident, which enlightened our minds to the capacity of
excepting all, has remained one of the most controversial issues today. In
Roswell, New Mexico, 1947, a strange occurrence arises. An alien craft from
outer space crashed in an open field. The issue lay still for almost thirty
years, until the thought of a government cover-up arose.
Society's opinions have changed over the years. Previous to the 1990's,
people have despised ....

Creationism Vs. Evolution
2290 Words - 9 Pages.... parents as children. Perhaps it is because we live in a nation filled with many peoples of different beliefs whose Gods are all so varied and different that it is difficult to fathom that they are all the same divine being. It is also plausible that we just have a desire to quench the thirst for knowledge that lies deep within ourselves. As for myself, I cannot believe in a being which created a universe and a multitude of worlds in a rather short period of time then deigns to lower itself into becoming a puppet-master and "pulling the strings" of the Earth and all of the people therein.
Since this paper touches upon many scientific terms, I feel that in order for ....
