Structure of the Earth

Water is one of the best and one of the most important too tall of the biological systems. Water doesn’t not only exist in the 3 states of matter which are, solid liquid or gas. Water covers just about 75 percent of the earth and is throughout 78 percent of the human body. Without water there are any things that we would not be able to do. We would not be able to travel from place to place to go on cruises and we would no longer be a beach or water to drink. We would no longer be able to shower…

Reading Genesis chapters 1:1 – 2:3 I was amazed to find out that earth wasn’t something that was already in existence, but that earth was something created by Someone who was already in existence. The first chapter of Genesis starts off in verse one saying “In the beginning God” implying that he was there before all things. God is not only a master in creating but I learned in this narrative that he is also a master in designing. What really strikes me is that I am able to recognize one of God’s…

The Mayans acquired knowledge of astronomy far more advanced than any part of the world at the time. The few writings that were not burned by the Spanish demonstrate knowledge of constellations, the solar system, and most impressively, a spherical Earth. The knowledge that the…

Rhonda Moore Bio/ Lecture 1101 D957 October 2, 2016 Radioactive Dating A) Any method of determining the age of earth materials or objects of organic origin based on measurement of either short-lived radioactive elements or the amount of long-lived radioactive element plus its decay product. Example: B) Look at the diagram below which represents the radioactive decay of uranium- 238. The shaded area represents the decay product which is lead-206. The half…

the surface of the Earth. ( Than, 2010). In general, a modern seismograph includes five basic pieces (Figure 2): a clock, a sensor called a seismometer,an electronic amplifier, a seismogram that traces a chart, and a data recorder that saves the information for later examination. The clock records precise arrival times of certain seismic waves. Furthermore, the seismometer measures the shaking strength at the instrument 's location and compares the motion of a support structure that shakes with…

Although renewable resources are continuously being produced by the earth, everything eventually has its limits. For example, Global warming is a major issue in today’s society, ice is melting and the ozone hole is expanding due to pollution caused by our population. Our societies actions are starting chain reactions without accepting the we are the producers. The population is not aware of the damage we are placing upon the earth which leads to the question of “what’s next?” In Sandra L.…

story is often times created helps to justify the curiosity. The question of how the earth was created has provoked several different stories. Some civilizations believed in the Hebrew Bible and the creation tale associated with it, that a God created the Earth (94). Other civilizations believe that animals helped shaped Earth. Each civilization has a specific story that helps justify and explain the creation of Earth. The Mayan, Cherokee, Babylonian and Hebrew stories of Earth’s creation all…

Introduction Geologists explanation how the Earth's surface behaves by plate tectonics theory. According to the theory, the surface of the Earth is broken into large plates and size and position of these plates change over times. The edge of these plates is the place where intense geologic activity happens. Such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building occur in areas where they move against each other, A first theory of continental drift is proposed by German scientist Alfred…

Going back thousands and thousands of years ago, two civilizations, Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, were very different according to the five key elements of culture. First, one key aspect that was very contrasting between these civilizations was the language. For example, Mesopotamia had distinct origins and a different style of writing. The earliest forms of writing in Mesopotamia was based on pictograms which “were used to communicate basic information about crops and taxes (Writing 1). As…
