Middle-earth

the work? The Lord of the Rings is set in the fictional world of Middle Earth. In a mythological sense, it can be viewed as myths of the events that took place before human history. Throughout the films, an aura of myth and reminiscence is maintained. It starts off in the Shire with a bright and casual tone, and moves into a more dark and serious tone as the fellowship branches out into more dangerous parts of the world. Middle Earth is inhabited with various kinds of people: elves, dwarves,…

attracted to it. It shows nothing else, but two sentences from James (James Irwin, Apollo 15). “Getting farther”, “it (Earth) shrank to the size of a marble”. Then the author describes what ordinary people’s conception of the scale of our solar system. After showing these ordinary picture, he started to explain his experience of building…

The Four Spheres of Earth Before we can learn of the compositional layers and mechanical layers of the interiors of earth, we need to know some basic concept of the four spheres. As we may know the four spheres responsible for life on earth: lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere; and their interaction with each other is called Geosphere (Fig. 1.). Another sphere that isn’t included among the rest for its different property is Pedosphere. Pedosphere is basically the interaction…

were facing and he found out the moon has gravity which controls the tide and the exact time the time changes. That proved the sun was in the middle of our solar system this is also known as "heliocentric model." Him finding out gravity came to him over time. All of this information backs up the facts of our next topic Earth. Isaac Newton predicted that Earth is probably a sphere flush at magnetic poles. which was later proven by La Condamine using degrees. Which persuaded scientists in Europe…

of the pole of a spinning body (Earth and its axis). Pretty much what this means is that the Earth wobbles as it spins about its axis and the axis changes directions slowly. This precession of Earth is caused due to the combination of both the gravitational pulls of the Sun and the Moon. Because the Earth is not a perfect ball and is fatter in the middle toward the equator the gravity of the sun and the moon pull on this fatter part of the Earth and cause the Earth to wobble. The period of…

closer to the equator are generally warm because the energy from the sun directly reaches the equator without passing through any thick layers of the atmosphere. Another factor that contributes to climate change is the geography. For example, the Middle East and North Africa rarely receive rainfall because of deserts. Areas that contain deserts have little moisture; thus, decreasing the changes of rain. Along with location and geography, elevation is a major contributor to climate change.…

Professor Russ physical science class, there’s a plethora of subjects you, as a student, are bound to cover. This semester we had discuss over twenty different fields of science; the first being Geometry and Eratosthenes computing circumference of earth. We started the final semester off with two worksheets. The first was the “Angles of a Triangle”, we had to cut out the three angles of the triangle and piece them together in a shape. The three angles form a straight line; which led us to…

the world, and it’s only getting worse. John Arguilla is a firm believer that the world has never been more dangerous, and he expresses this opinion in, “Is the World Getting More Dangerous?” On the contrary, Emma Ashford is a strong advocate that Earth is safer than ever, as she also sets forth her viewpoint in, “Is the World Getting More Dangerous?” At the end of the day, there are too many threats in the world, both real and dangerous, to consider any place a “safe-space.” Nuclear war…

Section 1: Plate tectonics is the the theory that the outer crust of the earth is cut up into a lot of pieces called plate tectonics. The plate tectonics move around in the mantle. The mantle is the rocky middle layer of our earth it lies right above the core. The plates are very much like a shel going around the earth. The evidence of plate tectonics began as simply circumstantial evidence one example is continental drift which is the theory that all the continents used to be one giant…

So there they were, on planet Earth, just sitting in a dorm room like a couple of regular college students. Their names were Jamie, Phillip, Carl, and Liam. They looked like a couple of normal teenage boys. But, what each of them don’t know, and what nobody else knows, is that they are all extraterrestrials from different planets. They disguised themselves so they can come to Earth to study and learn about the culture. Each alien has been sent information about themselves so that nobody will…
