Life during World War II was a time unlike any other. American author, John Steinbeck, gave up a life of fame and riches to follow troops around the Eastern hemisphere and document their journeys. Though there are many sources a person could go to for information about the war, Steinbeck’s account goes into great detail about what life was actually like for an American solider during the war. On his journeys, Steinbeck recorded many aspects of the war that would otherwise go unnoticed.…

skeptical after shutting down Wegener’s ideas in the past and at Holm’s time just wasn’t ready to except that the land could be moved. Then during the 1960’s J. Tuzo Wilson proposed hot spots and transform boundaries at a time when we had a little bit more information and knew something was going on but it was still radical to think there could be stationary hotspots. Holms hypothesis was that the mantle would generate heat that would produce convection currents that moved the land. He had to…

“Steel plates are commonly attached to each other with rivets, which are slipped into holes in the plates and rounded over with hammers. The hotness of the rivets makes them easier to round over, but their hotness has another important advantage in providing a tight fit. What is it? Explain why.” This relates to one of the characteristics of heat, in that heated objects expand, then contract when the temperature decreases, since the molecules move faster in heat and slow in the cold. The hot…

The ferry scene in the movie, The Dark Knight, also presented another ethical problem: the Prisoner Dilemma (Mlawski 1). To sum it all up, two boats are in the water and each boat has until midnight to detonate the other ships ordinance or both ferries will be destroyed. There are civilians in one boat and prisoners in the other boat. Each boat has to make a choice – kill or be killed – confess or stay quiet. Not to mention that the clock is ticking.

This is very interesting that most people do not take the literately term of the words a change in climate. I have conducted an interview with five…
