The giant squid has eluded scientist since its discovery with nothing but pictures and carcasses to go off of. Its deep-sea habitat makes it difficult to study. The first photo of a live squid was not taken until 2004 and the first live giant squid to be brought to the surface was not until 2006. The giant squid belongs to the phylum Mollusca, class Cephalopada, genus Architeuthis, and species Architeuthis dux. Giant squids are similar to their smaller relatives in many ways including, using…

Lesson 1: Earthquakes and Volcanoes Layers of the Earth Earth is made up of three layers: crust, mantle and core. The outer layer is the crust, the middle layer is the mantle and the inner layer is the core. Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into large plates that move slowly. Figure 1 shows the layers of the Earth. Figure 1: Layers of the Earth Plate tectonics The Earth's surface is formed of large pieces of rock called plates that are also called tectonic plates. These plates…

cyclohexanol mixture sits inside of the depression of a heating mantle. All glass pieces clamp together with blue clips. The flask attaches to a vertical…

with a motion like that of a conveyor belt as the newly formed lithosphere crust fills in the cracks or rifts. To assist the process of the newly-created lithosphere, oceanic plates return to the mantle at subduction zones, in which one plate bends and slides underneath the other, curving down into the mantle so the surface area of the Earth remains constant. In other words, seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic…

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a classic Arthurian tale upon first read, but has an interesting hidden motive beneath the entertainment. Throughout Gawain’s adventure we are introduced to nobility demonstrated through the chivalric lifestyle these knights are to lead. The poem incorporates Christian beliefs and symbols, both subtle and forthright, throughout the entirety of Gawain’s escapade. The Christian undertones are used to help readers separate the morally upstanding characters and…

Geology The Field of Geology didn’t become a major field until World war II, when the sea floor was mapped out in detail for submarines revealing a mid-Atlantic underwater mountain range, and a rift which started the theory of Plate Tectonics. Plate tectonics are used to explain the forming of mountains and even continents after the Pangaea. Plate tectonics explains that continents could have broken up, but there are 2 major theories on how. Catastrophist’s believe that a series of catastrophes…

think of complex anatomy and diverse shapes and sizes. I think of adaptability and resourcefulness. I think you should read this research paper on squids. Squids have quite an interesting appearance. The squid is bullet-shaped, partly due to the mantle, the sack that contains all of the vital organs of the squid. Every squid has 3 hearts - 2 at the gills, and 1 main heart that pumps copper-based blood. Teuthida is lacking of…

I believe that there are no plate tectonics on Venus. I believe this because of the reasearch that i did on this topic. Venus shows no evidence of plate tectonics on it's planet. " There are no long, linear volcano chains or any clear subduction zones. The transform plate boundary, causes the plates to slide past one another, which may cause earthquakes or fault lines, which is exactly what is happening. The plates are sliding past one another and earthquakes ar occuring which may lead one to…

the earth. The layers are stacked on top of eachother, like the liquids in the “Density Column lab”. The layers are inner core, outer core, mesosphere, asthenosphere, and lithosphere(upper rigid mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust). The earth's compositional layers are inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core radiates heat, the inner core is always giving out heat. the heat goes through the outer core and mesosphere and asthenosphere, asthenosphere is where convection…

engaged in what is the most spectacular display of offense in the modern era of the game of baseball” since Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle were teammates and tried to go after Babe Ruth’s single season homerun record. This battle was eventually won by Maris. But some thirty odd years later he was finally challenged by Sosa and Mcgwire. While the story is very different than Mantle and Maris who were teammates Sosa and Mcgwire were…
