Equator

which shows characteristics such as sleepiness and lethargy. Rosenthal discovered that a high level of melatonin is common among those suffering from SAD. Individuals who live farther from the equator will suffer from this on greater occasion due to having less average sunlight than individuals closer to the equator. Also, SAD is also more common for individuals who have family members that suffer from depression. The lethargy and sleepiness developed through seasonal affective disorder on…

The Moon mass is 1/81 of the Earth's mass and the Earth's gravity is 1/6 of gravity on the Earth's surface, meaning that if you weigh 60 kg on Earth, your weight on the Moon will be 10 kg. If you can easily carry a 30-kilogram bag on the ground, you can easily carry a 180-kilogram bag on the moon. If you can easily jump on the surface of the earth to a height of half a meter, you can climb as high as 3 meters. Also, if you have a pendulum clock that vibrates on the ground 60 times a minute, it…

comparable. He thought once in the past that parts of Africa and South America might have been connected. He also figured years ago many other countries were covered and connected to but some were covered in sheets of ice. Years ago land closer to the equator where lush, swampy vegetation and could grow better. On the bottom of the ocean floor…

will be gone in recent years, maybe sooner because of the climate change impact if it can not be solved as soon as possible. Back to the example of Indonesia, geographically Indonesia located in the Equator Line which make it is very fertile. The geographic of Arab Peninsula even it is not located in Equator Line, but it has a lot of oil. Some of Arab Peninsula’s countries is ranked on the highest exporter crude oil during 2015. It shows that, the economic stability of Arab Peninsula is very…

Corcovado National Park in the south pacific region of Costa Rica was founded on October 24, 1975 as a conservational effort against logging and commercial road building. This is because the ecosystem services provided by the tropical rainforest are abundant. According to National Geographic, the area is “the most biologically intense place on earth in terms of biodiversity.”(National Geographic). Local and indigenous people have lived in and around this area for generations. Like any other…

Due to the carbon dioxide levels increasing over time, the acidification of the ocean has become much stronger. Behavior patterns are not the only thing changing because of the rising temperatures; the migration patterns are changing as well. I chose to analyze a marine science article published by Inside Science News. The article, “Ocean Acidification May Change How Sharks Behave,” was based on a study that was trying to prove how swimming patterns and temperature changes would affect a shark’s…

Spring Scales People quantifying the material in an object by measuring its weight. Spring scales eventually became one of the simplest and most practical tools for accomplishing this task, and they are still found in bathrooms and grocery stores. These scales contain springs, although these are normally hidden from view. When you stand on a bathroom scale, the scale measures just how much upward force it must exert on you in order to keep you from moving downward toward…

isn’t true for all of Earth as the southern hemisphere experiences the opposite of these conditions. The only time this is false is during the equinoxes, which are on March 21st and September 21st. During the equinoxes, the sun directly hits the equator, causing the northern and southern hemispheres to feel the same…

The Sun is a massive, white ball of gas that fuels the solar system. Without it, life wouldn’t be able to survive on earth. It has lived for billions of years, providing energy and light. Nothing can live without it. The Sun, which is also called Sol, is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old with up to five billion years left in its life. It is currently in its yellow dwarf phase of life. It is located in the Milky Way galaxy in a spiral arm known as the Orion Arm. The Sun orbits the center of…

Since 2010, scientists have been trying to figure out why dark lines appear and disappear seasonally on the surface of Mars. The lines would appear and vanish in the same places during the warmer seasons, near the planet’s equator. This phenomenon is known as slope lineae. NASA has just confirmed that saltwater found in perchlorates’ crystal structure is what causes this to happen. This is very controversial because it raises the intriguing questions of whether or not life could exist on Mars.…
