Science and Nature Term Papers and Reports
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. 2 INTRODUCTION This report examines the controversy and key issues surrounding the superquarry at Rodel, Ling ....


The Future Of NASA
377 Words - 2 Pages

.... that we now incorporate 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 ....

Final Thoughts 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 ....
