Crust

truly a wonderland. Tucked into the Emerald Green Valley in Southern Minnesota, it is the hidden vacation Mecca of scores of knowing Midwesterners. Mankato has everything thanks to a freak of nature: the Sclare/Far Fissure. This fissure in the earth's crust takes water seeping through the earth, heats it to well over 165 degrees, and sends it back up to the surface in steam pits and boil holes. The heat from these pits and holes heats the valley air to such an extent that the winter temperature…

pure substance. So, in order to obtain it, companies own brine pools (Lenntech Web). The largest production of lithium is found in Chile (Lenntech Web). However, even though lithium does not occur freely in nature, it can be found in the earth's crust. It can do a number of organic and inorganic reaction. It’s major commercial form is lithium carbonate, Li2 and Co3. This is used as an initiator of polymerization (Lithium). It can be reacted to form lithium chloride which is involved in…

Shingles is an acute inflammatory condition of the dorsal root ganglia, which causes the nerve cells on a spinal nerve to become inflamed (Nazarko, 2013). People develop chickenpox when they first exposure to herpes virus in childhood. When they recover from chickenpox, the virus remains in the spinal nerves in a dormant form. People with healthy immune systems keep the virus dormant with no symptoms of shingles. When people are in immune depressive status or when people are aging, they have…

Maybe it just sags - like a heavy lead.” Throughout this poem, Hughes portrays that basically the American Dream is a faucet of reality.
