“You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take!”- Wayne Gretzky. This was one of Wayne Gretzky’s amazing quotes, and will be passed on forever, and . He is a big inspiration to me. Wayne Gretzky, also known as “The Great One,” was and still is “the greatest ice hockey player ever.” When he was 13 he had more than 1,000 goals scored. As he got older and older he won more and more trophies, scored tons of goals, and broke a lot of records. After he retired he held 61 NHL records, and…

“Good afternoon hockey fans, Im Doc Emrick beside Eddie Olczyk, we are here in Detroit Michigan at Joe Louis Arena! We have a good game coming, San Jose Sharks vs. Detroit Red Wings game 7 of the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals”. “Yeah Doc, this has been a tough series, very physical game play by these two teams, we've seen stats we have never seen before in the cup finals, each team is averaging 60 shots on goal a game, that is insane!” “Thanks Eddie, now we go to center ice for the puck drop.”…

For example, the Toronto Maple Leafs had 28 wins during the 2015-2016 season. So, by taking the total wins (28) and diving it by the total games (82), the winning percentage will be 34.15%. There are other factors that could affect a team’s winning percentage as well. I have decided…

explain the beginning of patterns of deformation in the crust, continental drift, earthquakes, and mid-ocean ridges. Two major properties of plate tectonics are the lithosphere, and how it's broken into numerous segments in constant motion and evolution. The prime theory of plate tectonics, seafloor spreading, states that the new lithosphere crust is formed at ocean ridges and moves away from ridge axes with a motion like that of a conveyor belt as the newly formed lithosphere crust fills in the…

In 1912, German meteorologist Alfred Wegener proposed the theory that all the continents were once all one continent and then later drifted apart and separated leading to the seven continents we have today. He thought that 200 million years ago there was one large continent that he called Pangea, which means “All-Earth.” During the Jurassic period the continents were believed to break up into two smaller continents which were called Gondwanaland and Laurasia. The continents were breaking into…

The theory created by scientists that describes the past movements of our continents is called Continental Drift. This theory is supported by plate tectonics, a relatively new idea that explains the constant movement of Earth's crust. Two-hundred million years ago, our seven continents fitted together, as if part of a puzzle. These continents made up one supercontinent, known as Pangea. When Pangea began to disperse into the current continental positions the process of plate tectonics began.…

Canadians emerged victorious from the Battle of Vimy Ridge; a significant victory that will be lionized as the most eminent battle that Canadians will ever have fought in (“The Capture of Vimy Ridge” par. 13). They have shown their importance in this war that they’re not only thought of as a British Colony, but regarded as an independent nation as well (“The Capture of Vimy Ridge” par. 13). Vimy Ridge is an escarpment located in Northern France. This ridge progressively rises on its western…

Prior to the Battle of Vimy Ridge, WWI was beginning to seem endless. Casualties began to build up to drastic numbers, forces were weakening, trenches were in horrible condition, and valuable resources needed for the war were depleting. A few number of battles during the First World War were somewhat successful, while most were considered a ground of large-scale chaos and butchery, which often resulted in a stalemate. One successful battle amongst the many that took place during World War I was…

1.1 Juan de Fuca Ridge - case study In Salmi et al. (2014) they deployed thermal blankets in a 450-700m area of a segment on the Juan de Fuca Ridge to examine the effects of hydrothermal circulation on very young oceanic 2 crust. The Juan de Fuca Ridge is a tectonic spreading center located off the coast of Washing- ton in the United States. The ridge is considered an intermediate spreading ridge as it spreads 5.6-5.7 cm/yr.
Several methods exist to measure the heat flow, some measure the…

wrote, including four he wrote after the battle of Vimy Ridge were recovered after the war. This specific letter was written in France, on 21st April 1917, days after Vimy Ridge, a month before his confinement, and later published online on the website Canadian Letters on November 2013. The Letter served the function of informing the receiver about the situation on the battlefield, where the Canadian corps had defeated the Germans in Vimy Ridge. Letters were the most convenient and efficient…
