.... When an earthquake occurs, the earth's crust breaks along a surface known as a fault plane. Faults are not always visible at the surface of the earth. A fault is a fracture within a rocky mass within the earth's crust. The depth and the length of faults vary tremendously. Earthquakes are caused by faults that are active. An active fault is a fault along which the two sides of the fracture move with respect to each other. An earthquake is caused by the sudden movement of the two sides of the fault. Faults are divided into three main groups, depending on how they move. There are normal faults which occur in response to pulling or ten .....

.... stopping -- the aging process.� Becoming immortal is not the only plus to cloning. Furthermore, the research of cloning has helped scientists become aware of the way genes operate. With continuous research into the ways of cloning scientists could come to understand the ways cells and genes work. As the information grows we will be able to get rid of genetic diseases and defects. “As geneticists have come to understand the ways in which genes operate, they have also become aware of the myriad ways in which the environment affects their ‘expression.’� In the future people will be able to decide what their child will look like and what ki .....

.... anatomical differences among animals by dissecting them (Rowan, 1984). The Greek physician Galen (A.D. 129-199) maintained that experimentation led to scientific progress and is said to have been the first to conduct demonstrations with live animals--specifically pigs-a practice later extended to other species and termed "vivisection" (Loew, 1982). However, it was not until the sixteenth century that many experiments on animals began to be recorded. In 1628, William Harvey published his work on the heart and the movement of blood in animals (French, 1975). In the 18OOs, when France became one of the leading centers of experimental biology and medi .....

.... of The Scientific Mathematician who set everything into motion around us. We should be in awe, not presumptuous and skeptical. About 3,000 years ago King David of Israel wrote (Psalm 8:3-4) "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that you are mindful of him? And the son of man, that You visit him?" Creationism is the product of a literal interpretation of the Biblical story of Genesis. It holds that God created the world in a single act approximately 6,000 years ago--and that human beings, animals, and other forms of life exist today much as they did then. To many creati .....

.... will allow heat to pass through, but not allow it to escape. The charcoal cubes and shavings will absorb the heat in the box and store the excess heat allowing the flow to continuously warm the oven. The tin foil will reflect heat and subsequently heat up the oven. The polyurethane material will trap the heat inside the oven. The mirrors will help the heat stay inside the box. Materials used: Shoe Box Tin Foil Sheets of Glass Charcoal Cubes and Shavings Scissors Glue Knives Polyurethane Non-Glossy, Black Spay Paint Four (4) Wood Pegs Mirrors Sealer .....

.... dynamic chemical reaction of Cesium occurs when it is exposed to oxygen. This exposure causes oxides to form, where even the heat from oxidation is enough to melt and ignite this metal. Another major reaction of Cesium occurs with water and ice. Ice with a temperature as low as -177 degrees Fahrenheit can trigger a vigorous reaction. Because Cesium reacts so violently with organic compounds, it is considered the most reactive of Alkali metals. There are four principle compounds that make up Cesium’s structure: Cesium Chloride, Cesium Fluoride, Cesium Carbonate, and Cesium Sulfate. The most important compound is Chloride, which is used as a constit .....

.... frequency from other frequencies. For both experiments, I would need to obtain a number of bullfrogs from a natural habitat and place them in the lab made habitat, which would be similar to the one that they were removed from. Hopefully, the frogs will adapted to the new habitat and carry on as they did in their old habitat. Tampered bullfrogs such as those raised in labs or pets would not be used because the results would be inaccurate. The inaccuracy would be that these "tampered frogs" have been out of the wild for so long that they would not have the same range of frequency as those in the wild. I would first like to do this experiment .....

.... or lachrymal, glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are located behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. Heavy laughter or crying causes muscles in the upper eyelid to squeeze the lachrymal gland. This produces tears that flow too fast to be drained away. The eyelashes catch many flying particles that otherwise would enter the eye. As further protection, the eyelids automatically close when an object suddenly moves close to the eye. The eye is made of 3 coats .....

.... called a virus because of three distinct similarities to a biological virus. They are: ? They must have the ability to make copies of, or replicate, itself. ? They must have a need for a "host," or functional program to which it can attach. ? The virus must do some kind of harm to the computer system or at least cause some kind of unexpected or unwanted behaviour. Sometimes es just eat up memory or display annoying messages, but the more dangerous ones can destroy data, give false information, or completely freeze up a computer. The Stealth_c virus is a boot sector virus, meaning that it resides in the boot sectors of a computer disk and loads into m .....

.... it was proven that over 50% of the American people are afraid of the bug and what it will do. If this matter is not addressed soon it will be responsible for many casualties. Another branch of technology that has caused casualties in the past and is bound to cause many more in the future is weapons. The weapon that has had the most impact is the gun. It has killed millions, not only in wars, but in everyday life as well. In addition, there is the atomic bomb that killed thousands at Hiroshima. More recently there is the nuclear missile that is capable of wiping out an entire major city. Moreover, there are many inventions that have been built .....
