temperature is caused mostly by greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere which include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone. Normally, these gases are essential in the process of the greenhouse effect which is supposed to keep the Earth from being too hot or cold. Unfortunately, the amount of these gases in the atmosphere has increased due to human activity and this in turn is causing the planet to become warmer over time. As a result, ice caps are melting, sea levels are…
In the beginning the only way for people to pass down their history, their philosophy and their culture was the spoken word. This is especially true when it comes to the Native American of North America as they had no written language. Their history was passed from generation to generation by way of storytelling also known as oral narratives, not only did these narratives tell the history of the people, but they also helped to shape the culture. These myths were the Native American’s way of…
09/07/2046 On Space We did it! We could see our blue planet from the outside space now. The earth is …incredible…I don’t know how to praise my planet. Oh, I have mission to do… 09/08/2046 On Space We are good now. Daniel went to check the telescopes. There are several reasons that why the astronomers and the scientist chose the far side of moon to place radio telescopes. It is predicted that on the far side of the moon, there will be extremely high concentration of helium-3 because the…
symbolic narratives of the beginning of man. Throughout our societies and other countries, we all have our own sets of beliefs, which serve as our “creation story”. Most people in the United States I’d say believe that God created the heavens and the earth, and it all started with the creation of Adam and then Eve. Other religions have specific creation stories to, that their followers believe and live by. The creation myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh starts out with the introduction of the…
I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…
Weather is a day-to-day change in the atmospheric condition such as temperatures and humidity. The climate is the observed weather for an extended period hence it identifiable with specific locations. The climate system is made of the elements such as biosphere (living organisms), cryosphere (ice sheets, oceans, and atmosphere) and geosphere (rocks, soils, and sediments).All these factors influence the changes in the movement of heat on the environment, which leads to climate change. The oceans…
The need for understanding plagues humanity. Our brains work tirelessly categorizing identifying, and creating patterns, relentlessly translating and processing the world around us. This is even the case while we slumber. According to the Activation Synthesis Theory of dreaming even when we are asleep we are trying to make sense of the haphazard cues, details and various stimuli festering in our subconscious. Burdened with the constant desire to understand and make sense of our environment,…
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration processes are thought of as completely opposite. They are completely opposite processes locked in a never-ending cycle. That cycle helps maintain the Earth's atmosphere to keep the planet inhabitable by making the air breathable. The processes both have many differences between them, but they also have many similarities. They cause the perfect balance that's essential to life, as we know it. The processes help…
2.1 The Formation of UHI Luke Howard first proposed the urban heat island concept in 1833, he had examined the average temperature between London city and villages in 1920. As the result showed that the London city temperature is significant higher than the rural area in the day and night due to land usage increasing, lack of vegetation, artificial environments and heat production effect the high temperature in urban area than rural area. Therefore, UHI change the urban district of the…
different age and creation of the earth. Yet Genesis 1:1 makes it unmistakably clear that God alone created the heavens and the earth. God made earth from nothing and therefore it has a definite beginning. As Genesis 1-2 continue, God’s involvement with creation is apparent as he not only instantaneously speaks all things into existence but is also recorded planting the garden of Eden (Gen 2:8) and getting His hands dirty by literally creating man from the dust of the earth (Gen 2:7). After…
