Mantle

Joseph P. Valentine Prof. Paden Eng. 111 (4243) 11/3/16 Earth 2.0 We’ve spent a lot of time here on Earth; rather, all of it. We’ve grown so much: learning to walk, talk, make friends, build cities, start wars, and make bombs that can cleanse entire planets of life. This is our home. Sadly, we can’t live here forever. The concept of expanding our domain isn’t just about exotic Martian vacations or low-gravity sports. Earth may not be habitable forever. The ever-impending “consequences” of…

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a well-known play by William Shakespeare. It has many different themes and conflicts. However, a very interesting thing about the play is the diversity of the characters. They all have different beliefs, while they also agree on some matters. Their views and opinions are conveyed through their dialogue. It isn't hard to understand their motives and meanings behind their speeches, however diverse they may be. A good example of this is in Brutus's and Mark Antony's…

Mercury:The surface geology of the planet Mercury can be very easily described as - Rocky. Because of this it bears as strong resemblance to the earths moon. This is due the the heavily cratered surface which has been caused by asteroids which has caused these giant craters in the planets surface, leaving pulverized dust and boulders behind. The reason all of the asteroids were able to hit the surface of this planet is because its magnetic field is not strong enough to deflect or slow them down…

Male octopodes reproduce by using a special arm called a hectocotylus and inserts it into its partner’s mantle cavity. The female will then go to its den and lay a string of fertilized eggs on the roof of its den. It is very curious how they decide to put their eggs on the roof instead of inside the den. The female will then guard her eggs from anywhere to…

of specific chemical reactions, as well as Earth’s atmosphere, which might have derived from the hydrothermal vents themselves (Martin et al., 2008). The hydrothermal vents are believed to be the key to early Earth due to their “insights into past mantle geochemistry and presents a better understanding of the chemical constraints that existed during the evolutionary transition from geochemical to biochemical processes” (Martin et al., 2008). Alot is still left to learn about the hydrothermal…

Whether we notice it or not, chemistry lives in our bodies. Things such as skin conditions, digestion, breathing, and hair growth all deal with chemistry in their own way. They all have certain chemical reactions and chemical changes that affect the way our bodies work. Even though we study different curriculums during chemistry such as the chemical equations, chemical reactions, and other things we have learned go far beyond what is said in class. During food digestion there are…

The Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, and Lithosphere, or, as more colloquially known, the five layers of the Earth. Although each layer is important, each living thing resides on the Lithosphere, which happens to rest on the Asthenosphere, the upper part of the Mantle. Forces caused by these two layers both contribute to the theory of Plate Tectonics, which happens to be interconnected to Earthquakes and Volcanoes. Without Plate Tectonics, the other two occurrences simply cannot…

who live for the past time. He makes this point in a particularly humorous way in lines eleven and twelve of the poem when he says “Every ball game was a double-header. / Mickey Mantle was sober.” Mickey Mantle was a Native American baseball player that played for the New York Yankees in the 1950s and 1960s. Only Mikey Mantle was only really white, and less than 15% Native American on his mother’s side. He once again brings up the comical aspect of the poem in such a subtle way that you’d miss…

Research Question: Which meat consumed by lions in Kenya posses the most protein and fat? Background Research: Kenya is a country that is home to several lions. As top consumers, lions eat a variety of organisms that are found in their habitats in order to eat their required 15.5 (7.03 kg) pounds of food. In the vast savannahs of Kenya, lions can choose to consume “wildebeest, warthogs, zebras, buffalo, or eland antelopes,” (Kitzmiller, Carrie). Meat is an essential component of a lion’s…

that uses sonar radiation to examine the seafloor correlated to how Magellan traced the ridges on Venus. Photographs of the plates on both Earth and Venus have been determined to angle upwards on one side while the other side curves down into the mantles of the planets, exemplifying how the plate tectonics of both planets appear to be similar. Even though the plates on Venus were thought to be thinner than the tectonic plates of planet Earth, the bulges in the plates have implied that Venus’…
