The Creation Of The Universe
Words: 1817 / Pages: 7 .... 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 the reader to correctly grasp the content I must first define
three words: Theory .....

Coral Reefs 3
Words: 3393 / Pages: 13 .... because their skeletons are made of Calcium Carbonate. The skeletons deposited by these corals and other organisms accumulate, along with sand and other debris, to form the backbone of the reef. Over tens of thousands of years, chemical and mechanical changes turn the reef into true rock.
The body of a coral animal consists of a polyp, which is the living portion of the coral. A polyp is a hollow, cylindrical structure attached at one end to a surface, the other end is a mouth surrounded by tentacles which gather food and can sting prey to paralyse it. Polyps live in colonies, which grow from 1 to 7 inches, depending on the species. Coral p .....

Darwinism: The Theory That Shook The World
Words: 1800 / Pages: 7 .... comes under scrutiny still today as missing fossils which are to have been
the bridge between a two familiar species are not yet found (Hitching p 3).
Whatever the reason of belief or disbelief in Darwin's theories, he astounded
the scientific world as well as the public and was able to convince many in the
presence of a misguided past belief. This fact alone makes him one of the most
important people of science ever.
Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury-Shropshire, England on Feb 12,
1809 (GEA & RBi p 42). He was the fifth child in a wealthy English family with
a history of scientific achievement with his paternal grandfather Erasmus Dar .....

Mars
Words: 1790 / Pages: 7 .... with small amounts of other gases. The six most common components of the atmosphere are Carbon Dioxide at 95.32%; Nitrogen at 2.7%; Argon at 1.6%; Oxygen at 0.13%; Water at 0.03%; and Neon at 0.00025 %. Martian air contains only about 1/1,000 as much water as our air, but even this small amount can condense out, forming clouds that rise high in the atmosphere or swirl around the slopes of towering volcanoes. Local patches of early morning fog can form in valleys. At the Viking Lander 2 site, a thin layer of water frost covered the ground each winter. There is evidence that in the past a denser Martian atmosphere may have allowed water to flow .....

Air Pollution
Words: 320 / Pages: 2 .... tall smokestacks used by industries and utilities do not remove pollutants but
simply boost them higher into the atmosphere. These pollutants may then be transported
over great distances, causing adverse effects such as acid rain in areas far from the
emission site. The worldwide increase in the burning of coal and oil since the late 1940s
has led to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide. The resulting greenhouse effect has
reduced the escape of infrared radiation from the earth, causing a possible global warming
trend.
The Prevention of Air Pollution
To cut down on all the pollution being released into the air, we have removed t .....

Electrochemistry
Words: 446 / Pages: 2 .... of burning -- or oxidizing -- hydrogen, it will make sense.)
Electrochemistry is used in the synthesis of organic molecules. Often
electrochemical reactions can proceed under milder conditions (more safely),
with less hazardous waste (better for the environment), and in higher
yields (better for your wallet) than a similar process using chemical
reagents. Some synthetic processes can only be done using electrochemical
methods, and electrochemical methods are used in the large-to-medium-scale
synthesis of organic "fine chemicals" because of the financial, safety and
environmental advantages. Here's a page outlining some current research by
one o .....

How Eagles Live
Words: 605 / Pages: 3 .... The bald eagle makes its nest with a bulky platform of sticks in a tall tree, and normally has between 2-3 white eggs per season.
The golden eagle has the scientific name of aquila chrysaetos and is named for its golden appearance. It is a member of the hawk family. It has a wingspan of six and a half to seven and a half feet, and can live to be thirty or more years old. The adult golden eagle is evenly dark below, or with a lighting at the base of its tail. An immature golden eagle shows a white flash in the wing at the base of the primaries, and a white tail with a broad dark terminal band.
The golden eagle is found in the mountai .....

Reproduction: A Courting To Nature
Words: 967 / Pages: 4 .... is possible in an animal world marked daily
by scenes of courtship, spurning and love triumphant. And take note: these
are not the imaginings of some Disney screen-16 writer. Decades ago Konrad
Lorenz, a famed Austrian naturalist, made detailed studies of Greylags and
afterwards showed no hesitation in using words like love, grief and even
embarrassment to describe the behavior of these large, social birds.
At the same time he did not forget that all romance - animal and human - is
tied intimately to natural selection. Natural selection brought on the
evolution of males and females during prehistoric epochs when environmental
change was making lif .....

Global Warming A Serious Threat
Words: 880 / Pages: 4 .... local climate threatens human health is that "extreme temperatures can directly cause the loss of life". And also many serious diseases appear in warm places. But not only is it that "warm temperatures can increase air and water pollution, which in turn harm human health" (ESP Health 1). The hot temperature, which could be the most direct effect of climate change, causes the heat problem. Because their cardiovascular system has to work harder to keep the body cool during hot weather. The temperature causes harmful effects to human health and another is cause of lung problem. "Higher air temperatures also increases the concentration of ozone at .....

Comets
Words: 275 / Pages: 1 .... all the mass of the
comet, is a “dirty snowball” conglomerate of ices and dust. Major proofs of the
snowball theory rest on various data. For one, of the observed gases and
meteoric particles that are ejected to provide the coma and tails of comets,
most of the gases are fragmentary molecules, or radicals, of the most common
elements in space: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The radicals, for
example, of CH, NH, and OH may be broken away from the stable molecules CH4
(methane), NH3 (ammonia), and H2O (water), which may exist as ices or more
complex, very cold compounds in the nucleus. Another fact in support of the
snowball theory .....
