still displays emissions 50 times less than coal plant emission s and 25 times less than natural gas plant emissions (What is Nuclear?). Not only that, nuclear energy also has been shown to be safe. Although there have been big disasters such as the Three Mile Island disaster in 1979 when there was a reactor core meltdown, causing a release of radioactive material into the atmosphere (Nuclear Energy).

The Titanic was a cruise ship manufactured in the 1900s that was said to be "unsinkable" However it sank due to many design flaws and material failures. The cause of the titanics sinkage was due to the hull of the titanic colliding with the iceberg which ultimatley caused a brittle fracture within the hull steel. In order for a brittle fracture to occur there has to be three important factors a material or object must encounter,which are a high sulpher content,low temperature and a high impact…

Cave Painting Tour In the video Lascaux Cave Paintings – Visual Tour I was able to see the different type of cave paintings done by humans long ago. In 1500 B.C.E. many groups settled together in France and started doing their very first cave paintings by hand.

In 1940 three teenage boys discovered this cave in a little village in southwestern France They…

exist. Losing an important part of the ecological food chain would have repercussions, possibly worse than we could imagine.

Smog in Pennsylvania and the fire-lit Cuyahoga, for example, illustrated just how dearly the environment needed policy reform. However, these incidents didn’t build up over night: Air pollution damages the earth’s…
