To me, astronomy is the study of the universe and everything in it. This includes the planets, moons, stars, comets, etc. The major difference found between Muggle astronomy and Wizarding astronomy is that the Muggle world has "laws" that explain what they see in the universe. The study of these laws of the universe in the Muggle world is called "physics". Although these laws do explain a vast majority of what the Muggles see on Earth and in the universe, it may not hold true in the Wizarding…

Nuclear Energy Nuclear Energy Nuclear Power Plants: Nuclear Power Plants are facilities which generate electricity through the use of nuclear reactions. It is referred to as a thermal power station because it creates a nuclear reaction, in which a lot of heat and energy is created. Due to the production of heat, the plan creates a lot of steam which is used like in coal or gas-fired power stations to drive turbine generators to generate electricity. Nuclear Reactions The are two nuclear…

dry after 15 million years. Plus the magnetic field has been decaying at 2.7 % over the past 1000 years which would make it impossible for the earth to be over 10,000 years old. All natural elements produce helium. It would take less then 2 million years to produce the amount of helium that we have not 3 billion. The best evidence for evolution is the similarities in bone structure. Humans bats and birds all have similar bones I their arms/wings. Though used in different uses. Humans…

Scuba diving has taken many lives over the years. According to research, in 1975 there were about 213,000 divers in the United States. By 1990, there were about 2.45-3.1 million. This increase in numbers means that the number of recreational divers is increasing quickly, and there is a clear need for awareness of dangers and injuries that may occur. Coral reefs, shipwrecks, caverns, and many other underwater treasures around the world are great for scuba divers wanting to explore the underwater…

at STP. At the same time, it indicates that a direct relationship exists between volume and the number of moles of gas as temperature and pressure stays constant. One real world application of the importance of this problem is demonstrated when a helium balloon is lighter than an identical balloon filled with air (http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/gases/faq/everyday-gas-laws.shtml). Based…

For example, a film could include a balloon that chases people. The balloon is clearly not alive, since it is a ball of plastic filled with helium, but the people within the film would run from it and the balloon would follow. It is the wolfpack effect that allows us to recognize that this inanimate object, despite having no actual thoughts or intentions, is chasing the animate main character…

“The House of the Scorpion” created by Nancy Farmer is an exhilarating story that should be read by many people in multiple grade levels. The setting takes places in a country called Opium in a large property called the Alacrán Estate. Opium is in a strip of poppy fields in between the USA and what used to be called Mexico. Matteo Alacrán (Matt) is a clone that was harvested from the womb of a cow after being made in a petri dish. Matt is a clone of El Patrón the lord of the country, Opium.…

In preparation for this assignment I talked with several people, asking them the interview questions, I will address the answers of four of the people I talked with. Each question is listed below with a summary of the answers following. How long are the days in Genesis 1? Why? Three of the four persons basically said the exact time is unknown. The fourth said a day was from sun up to sun down no hours were specified. How old is the Earth and life? Why? One person said about 6,000 years, two…

What are earth’s resources? 1)Water Water is an important part in the life of all living organisms on Earth. Without water, the plants would die cause of require water to make photosynthesis. Besides, the humans and animals would also die cause of thirsty. Otherwise, we use water in our daily activities such as washing hands, cooking, watering plants, bathing, washing clothes and many more. Water covers the surface of Earth by almost 71%. The water on Earth occurs in three states of matter…

Solar energy is generated from the sun. Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun (Buettner, 2015 ). Nuclear fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms collide in the sun’s core and fuse together to create a helium atom (Buettner, 2015 ). The process is known as PP (proton- proton) chain reaction which emits excessive amounts of energy. In the core of the sun it fuses about 620 million metric tons of hydrogen every second. The PP reaction occurs in other stars…
