The continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea but then a force caused the continents to move them apart. The first piece of evidence used for this theory was that Africa and South America fitted together like it was a jigsaw puzzle. The next piece of evidence was that in South America and Africa there are fossils found in rocks of the same age and type. Additionally, in those two landmasses, there are corresponding early mammal fossils found. Again, there are identical…

UVB it helps with your skin producing vitamin D. There are lots of ways to determine how much UV rays you are exposed to. These include altitude, weather conditions, geography, and more. The closer you are to the equator the stronger the UV rays. If you are in an area with snow, water, pavement, and sand your exposure to UV rays is greater.

Another significant motivation behind why the biological systems in the Florida Keys are in threat is a result of intrusive animal groups. An intrusive species is a "non-local creature that has encroached into a zone and may have genuine hindering impacts on local organisms"(The Lionfish Intrusion). Local species are compelled to rival the intrusive mixed bag for sustenance and living space. Ordinarily the obtrusive species prevails and overwhelms the local structures. Florida has such a…

In astronomy, precession is an important concept that determines our view of the night sky. Over the centuries, our view of the night sky has changed due to precession. As a result, everyone should have the right and a duty to know about astronomy. Precession impacts our night sky; thus it is crucial to be aware of. Precession is caused by the axis of rotation twisting due to the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon that makes the Earth’s axis upright relative to its orbit…

between Jupiter and Uranus. Saturn is the second largest planet. Saturn revolves around the sun once every 29.4 Earth years, or 10,755.7 Earth days. Its poles are tilted 29 degrees relative to the orbit around the sun. Winds closer to Saturn’s equator blow east at 1,100 miles per hour, making Saturn the windiest planet in the solar system (of known planets). Temperatures at Saturn’s cloud tops are -218 F. Its volume is 764 times of earth, but only 95 times more massive. It has rings around the…

Of the many wondrous and great places of the world, few can stand parallel to the beauty of Bora Bora. Bora Bora is an island in the Pacific Ocean and part of the French Polynesia.

than the Sun we can see on Earth. Weather condition seems mild because it is peace and quiet outside. But in fact, there’s no atmosphere on Europa. Because of this, Europa can’t regulate its temperature to a moderate level. Our landing site is near equator, so the temperature outside is about -260 F, which is way more better than the -370 F poles. Condition outside is harsh not only because of the temperature, but also the radiation. As the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter traps…
