Essay on Earth

I’ve been told the ground is flat, yet we live on a round planet. I’ve also heard that the planet is flat. I don’t know which one to believe, but I know I’m standing on something flat, so I’ll see the ground as such. Sometimes, it’s as hard and solid as concrete, because it probably is concrete. It’s called a sidewalk. I used to see red sidewalks all the time, but then I was told they’re either gray or white. Since then, I’ve only seen gray or white ones. All the red concrete vanished in an…

Envision timeless on Earth. Wouldn’t that be something? Wrong! Life on Earth for eternity would be worse than the Holocaust. Just think of the worst way to live, and then think of unending time on the Godly gift, Earth. Many factors cause me to believe that eternal life on Earth would be a living hell. First and foremost, if every person who set foot on Mother Earth lived without end, overpopulation would take charge in a matter of days. Just imagine, the Earth is already exceeding its limits…

Two recent articles published in the National Geographic and NASA Earth Observatory, “Signs From Earth: No Room to Run” and “How Will Global Warming Change Earth”, seek to raise awareness of the dangerous implications of global warming for human, animal, and plant life. While NASA’s articles share a similar device in projecting a message that is both omniscient and foretelling, National Geographic “Signs From Earth: No Room to Run” is the most informative because of its writing style being in…

hardworking farmer tends to his land under the scorching sun every summer and in the freezing winters, he feasts on the crops his land has produced for him. Every day he wakes up early to take care of his father and his land. The novel, The Good Earth, by Pearl S. Buck, begins on the most important day of this farmer’s life: Wang Lung’s wedding day. After this day, Wang Lung will no longer have to work alone in his fields, for he will have O-lan, his wife, to help him. Soon after his wedding day…

In Falling through Earth might be a long and fruitless trip Air resistance and friction would prevent reaching the other side by Emily Conover, the article starts off by suggesting to imagine what it would be like falling down through Earth’s center by an imaginary tunnel. As the traveler falls, the action would be propelled by the force of gravity and friction, however, air resistance and friction would make the fall of an estimated 12,000 Kilometers slower. A study calculated how factors could…

asked similar questions: are there any planets we can live other than earth? For decades, scientists and astronomers are devoted to these fascinating questions and have done lots of researches. Since the shining stars we can see with our naked eyes on earth are almost fixed stars like our sun, it’s absolutely impossible for life to exist there. Thus in order to search for second earth, the first thing to do is detecting Earth-sized and smaller planets in the habitable zone of stars. NASA’s…

towards the future of Earth being extremely damaged by climate change. Over the years, mankind has taken advantage of Earth's natural resources by damaging the Earth at the same time. Some parts of the Earth's natural environment, such as the Wilderness are being destroyed faster than people are predicting. This would possibly mean that wilderness will no longer be in the future because of climate change. Climate change is described as the rise of surface temperatures on Earth. Climate change…

Aristotle was the first scientist to argue that the earth is round. He proved his theory by concluding that the spherical shadow cast on the moon during a solar eclipse must be because the earth is also spherical (Stern, 2004). This early reasoning has since been backed up and proven by many scientist for centuries. However, there is a group existing presently called the Flat Earth Society. This cluster of individuals choose to believe that the earth is actually flat and that there is a shadow…

has nothing to cool off on, so it’s important that these ice blocks protect the planet. Similarly, in “How to Poison the Earth” by Linnea Saukko she tries to advocate on saving the planet, but through a dark humor that says the opposite of what it means. She goes on about contaminating our ocean constantly, so we can effectively pollute the ocean and, then, poisoning our Earth. Saukko’s process analysis, describing how we can pollute the environment is more effective in bringing…

Aristotle’s Argument for why the Earth is Stationary Singly one of Aristotle’s most persuasive arguments to support his belief that the position of the earth is stationary is, as Professor DeWitt categorizes on a handout, argument five. In his fifth argument featured in his account of natural motion, “On the Heavens, Book II, Chapter 14,” Aristotle inconsiderately, to his readers, states in two sentences his argument on why the earth is stationary; however, though the idea may have seemed…
