4.4 Interpretations The data collected from this study are not strongly affected by convective fluid flow in the wellbores or surrounding strata. Rather, the geothermal gradient profiles show a more conductive thermal regime in the vicinity of the wells. Unfortunately, the wells are too shallow to make more significant observations of the deep thermal regime, but the high geothermal gradients in the Paliza Canyon and E10 wells show some promise of quantifying temperatures of a geothermal…

June 6, 2052. There were numerous names for this day. The Christians called it Judgement Day, those who studied Norse Mythology called it Ragnarok. But, all of the remaining humans that survived after that global catastrophe called it Pandemonium. The first hour of Pandemonium was felt throughout the world, it was a literal "earthquake". In just under 1 hour, pieces of the 7 continents started to spread out. Others crashed onto one another creating new bigger continents. While others dived under…

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…

Introduction: This essay would discuss the way the material of an object can be used for dating or distinguish the origin. Tang Sancai pottery produced in different parts of China. Because of the material for the production from local sources, chemical analysis can apply to see the origin of the ware. This shows the applicable method that can be used to for distinguish the Islamic lead-glazed ware from Tang Sancai as well as the Sancai ware from different part of China. For dating the tools…

It gets to be too much for Lance around the same time Keith is pretty much considering throwing himself out of an airlock. He's sitting in the control room, totally alone, at the Altean equivalent of four in morning when Lance finds him. He'd been tracing constellations absent-mindedly into the crystalline tiles beneath his fingertips, all eighty-eight of them, and he's just about to connect the last star of the Pleiades sleepily with grazed, stained-glass knuckles when the screech echoes…

Planet Earth was made up of several fragile ecosystems. With one action caused an equal and opposite reaction. For example, when an earthquake happened several other events can occur. This caused a chain reaction for other disasters to happen. In 2011, the ground underneath Japan had an earthquake that did not only shake the ground but it shook the future of the country for years to come. Japan sat at the junction of four major tectonic plates. The Philippian plate had been sinking under the…

Since the creation of electricity, people have searched for the most efficient source of energy. There are many common sources of energy, and they all have their own flaws. Many of the common energy sources are nonrenewable resources; therefore, they are not a logical source of energy for the future. Some of the energy creating processes can be very dangerous to humans and the environment. Many of these sources are not economical either. To be considered efficient, an energy source must be…

among others. Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy comes from the heat from the earth. It is sustainable and is clean energy. Resources of this form of energy include shallow ground, hot rock and hot water, beneath the surface of the earth, and the magma found deeper the earth’s surface. Below the earth’s surface where the temperature ranges between 10 and 16 degrees Celsius, geothermal-heat pump can utilize this resource to heat and cool buildings (Grant 54).…

I remember waking up with a bloody face. As I entered junior high, my family had moved to a town that had a racist streak. On the first day of school I made a remark identifying myself as believing in civil rights. The statement’s consequences arrived several months later when I was beaten unconscious by a fellow white student. At that time, I had never had a black friend, but the madness imposed on African Americans stormed into my world with the physical intimacy of violence. What do we know,…

The Road to Destruction There is one question that almost everyone askes, even in their childhood. We learn about these amazing creatures from a young age, wondering where they are now, and whatever happened to them. How are we finding the fossils of these creatures, without ever seeing them? How come some are big, and others are small? Why did some eat meat, and others eat plants? Why did dinosaurs disappear? There are three main theories that explain dinosaur’s extinction, and they each have…
