stationary hotspots. Holms hypothesis was that the mantle would generate heat that would produce convection currents that moved the land. He had to overcome to popular belief in the scientific community that Earth was immovable. His work with the geologic time scale and his talent with radioactive dating made his evidence obtainable. While he didn’t quite have the whole thing worked out but his contribution offered a reasonable explanation to his theories. Wilson however had an explanation as to…

on top of me during an earthquake. It is also a good distance away from Mauna Loa and Kilauea. I will get to Mauna Kea bicycling or walking since the main roads will probably be packed with cars from other people trying to leave. According to Google Maps, it would take about 8 hours bicycling (28-35 hours walking), this added to the time it would take to get to the top could sum up to approximately 35-38 hours. Since the top of Mauna Kea is colder, I would need to add extra blankets and thermal…

The dominant terrain from the Venera 14 site is localized plains composed of tholeiitic lavas (Weitz and Basilevsky, 1993). Geologic maps of the Venus landing sites characterize the most abundant terrain type as plains (Weitz and Basilevsky, 1993). Two events were revealed from the seismometer, but these events could have been from the lander operations (Ivankov, NASA archive). Three…

Essay 5: The Amazon and its Impacts In order to understand the importance of the Amazon River, we need to understand that it is so much more than just another flowing body of water. The health of the planet depends on the Amazon making it one of the most valuable places in the world. The river and the basin that it has created and travels, effects a huge body of vegetation, people, and animals. The Amazon benefits a new and evolving culture, allows continuing diversity in people,…

The status of Long Island groundwater, its biggest threats and contaminants, and the resulting problems. Long Island is especially venerable to groundwater contamination because Long Island’s aquifers are resident’s only water source. Development and agricultural use of the island have greatly contributed to contamination. The two main contaminators are: • Nitrogen (as nitrates) • Pesticides Pesticides are known to cause health problems, and legislation has banned those that have persistently…

This is particularly important in concepts that involve past events, which cannot be tested. Take, for example, the Big Bang Theory or the Theory of Biological Evolution as it pertains to the past; both are theories that explain all of the facts so far gathered from the past, but cannot be verified as absolute truth, since we cannot go back to test them. More and more data will be gathered on each to either support or disprove them. The key force for change in a theory is, of course, the…
