There were several kinds of giant sloths in South America in the Pleistocene era around 500,000 years ago, and living alongside them were giant armadillos like the glyptodonts. They were as big as rhinoceroses, with armour-plating fitted so tightly together that they looked like huge tortoises. All of these giants were edentata, an order of animals which has evolved into today’s sloths, armadillos and anteaters of South America. Edentata literally means without teeth. The anteaters, which catch…

Male alligator snapping turtles can reach lengths of 29 inches (73.7 centimeters) and 249 pounds (112.9 kilograms), while females can reach lengths of 22 inches (55.9 centimeters) and 62 pounds (28.1 kilograms) (Ewert et al. 2006, Pritchard 2006). They are usually identified by three spine-like ridges that run along the back of their shell. On one end of the shell lies a large rough crown with a set of powerful…

Endangered species are species of animals or plants that are at risk of extinction, this means that there are very few of them and they could potentially all die out. Some of the factors that cause extinction are loss of habitat, hunting, diseases and climate change. • Snow Leopard - Panthera uncia • Blue Whale - Balaenoptera musculus • Giant Panda - Ailuropoda melanoleuca Snow Leopard Snow Leopards are mainly found in the Eastern Himalayas and Yangtze. They live in the cold high mountain…

Why We Should Switch to the Metric System Why should we switch to the metric system here in the US? Well, there are lots of reasons. First and foremostly, the metric system is in tens, which we count in. This means that we can easily multiply and divide metric units. Secondly, measurements, in the metric system are derived from natural properties (of water) and relations between measurements. Lastly, the metric system uses no terms for the same meaning, nor does it use multiple units for the…

Work is calculated by force times the distance times the gravitational force (GRF). Force is given by the individual’s mass in kilograms multiplied by gravity acting downwards, which is -9.81 N/kg. In this case the GRF is defined as 6 steps converted into meters while each step is approximately 7 inches and 1 inch is 0.0254 meters. Absolute power output is calculated by work divided…

Equipment Orientation: The basic piece of equipment for weight training and bodybuilding is barbell. You will find the terminology for various components of a barbell illustrated below: Exercise barbells are the simplest form, and they can be either adjustable (with the weights added or subtracted to change the poundage, or weight, on the bar) or fixed (with the weights either welded or bolted semi permanently in place).

itself requires temperatures upwards of 100 million degrees celsius, this poses little to no danger at all. This is due to the fact that the amount of fuel that is in the reactor at any given time is very minute, with some sources citing that only a kilogram of fuel would be used to power the reactor for an entire day(“Fusion Energy)”. Subsequently, this means that there is no significant threat of volatile fuel.It is also worth noting that fusion is much safer than its fission counterpart. Due…
