Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is diagnosed when children display persistent age-inappropriate symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Since ADHD is one of the most common (3% to 5%) childhood mental disorder, a lot of controversies debated whether behavioral therapy (BT) or medication alone (MM) would be more efficient as the treatment for ADHD (Arnold et al., 1997, p.865). In 1992, the Collaborative Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD (the MTA),…

This paper examples the formation of the Deccan traps, the Deccan continental flood basalt, and present day Indian. Its first provides a brief background on what the Deccan Traps are and the history of their geologic integrity. The proof is explained through scientists seismic tomographic models and the evolution of the Indian plate, the Reunion island hotspot, and the evolution of lithospheric mantle structure. Keywords: deccan, mantle, plate, hotspot, reunion, reconstructions.…

Dear US Geological Survey, I think that you should accept Alfred Wegener’s Theory of Continental Drift. There is a large amount of realistic evidence to prove that this theory did occur. Wegener’s theory is that all seven continents were once joined into a supercontinent called Pangaea. He believes that after continents were in that supercontinent, they gradually moved apart over more than a hundred years ago and will continue to move in the future. This Theory of Continental Drift is supported…

4.2.5. The Fantale geothermal prospect area The Fantale geothermal prospect is characterized by recent summit felsic lava, caldera collapse, extrusions in the caldera bottom and widespread fumarolic activity, signifying thereby the existence of a shallow magma chamber (Tekelemariam and Beyene, 2005). Active tensional tectonics form fissures up to 2m near the volcanic complex. From the area ground water discharge to the system is guaranteed by the proximity of the area to the western escarpment.…

together as a supercontinent called Edisonia. The supercontinent held 6 of the 8 modern continents, which broke apart due to tectonic forces in the Lithosphere. Also, the 7th and 8th continents were believed to have formed from volcanic eruptions on convergent plate boundaries. The edges on the modern- day Sciencian continents have experienced weathering and erosion, which makes it hard to precisely piece them back together. The continents split apart on a divergent plate boundary near the…

Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines: Impacts and Human Actions The stratovolcano Mount Pinatubo began showing signs of erupting on the 15th of July 1991. Through a series of events Mt. Pinatubo erupted and effected the surrounding areas. Throughout this paper will be discussed the impacts, including primary and secondary, along with impacts changed by humans. Mount Pinatubo eruption was the second largest eruption in the 20th century, making it have many impacts not only locally but globally. Mount…

The Western Cordillera is found standing along the western edge of the continent. Made of ranges and ranges of mountains separated by occasional plateaus and valleys. Many provinces found in this region are British Columbia, Yukon Territories, Southwest Alberta, and parts of Northwest Territories. The mountain ranges found here are not as old as the other regions, as they are not yet rounded hills. These mountains occurred when the North American and Pacific plates collided, that spans…

There are many different aspects in the world of geology. Something that I want to focus on are hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents are like chimney shaped hot springs that are located on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents were first discovered in 1977 near the Galapagos Islands in the eastern Pacific. Scientists exploring the area along the mid-oceanic ridge had noticed drastic temperature changes in their data. With the help of ALVIN, a research deep sea submersible, they discovered vents…

A study has shown that Internet appearance exposure and magazine reading exposure were correlated with higher internalization of thin ideals, appearance comparison, weight dissatisfaction, and drive for thinness in adolescent girls of mean age of 14.9 years. (Tiggemann & Miller, 2010). As mentioned in lecture, an average American watches 5.13 hours TV per day. (K.Dalrymple, personal communication, October 26,2015). This data shows that television is a dominant media that plays a great deal in…
