Middle-earth

I have never been one with strong held believes in the creation of humans or life on earth from god or gods. I lean heavier towards the theory of life evolution. How does what I believe in and what I have read on American Indian beliefs compare to one another. Also how their creations myths and legends compare to my current beliefs and the Christian and other teachings I grow up with. I will be looking at the Apache, Navajo, and Iroquois creation myth and legend stories. One of the first…

temperature is caused mostly by greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere which include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone. Normally, these gases are essential in the process of the greenhouse effect which is supposed to keep the Earth from being too hot or cold. Unfortunately, the amount of these gases in the atmosphere has increased due to human activity and this in turn is causing the planet to become warmer over time. As a result, ice caps are melting, sea levels are…

In the beginning the only way for people to pass down their history, their philosophy and their culture was the spoken word. This is especially true when it comes to the Native American of North America as they had no written language. Their history was passed from generation to generation by way of storytelling also known as oral narratives, not only did these narratives tell the history of the people, but they also helped to shape the culture. These myths were the Native American’s way of…

unsustainability is the decomposition of life or a major part of our everyday lives whether that be a whole community, city, state, or the world. One of the biggest unsustainable topics worldwide is the amount of deforestation. As citizens living on this planet Earth, we have the responsibility to take actions that will keep it healthy and living if possible, which includes maintaining as much forestry alive as possible by keeping a steady amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.…

symbolic narratives of the beginning of man. Throughout our societies and other countries, we all have our own sets of beliefs, which serve as our “creation story”. Most people in the United States I’d say believe that God created the heavens and the earth, and it all started with the creation of Adam and then Eve. Other religions have specific creation stories to, that their followers believe and live by. The creation myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh starts out with the introduction of the…

Weather is a day-to-day change in the atmospheric condition such as temperatures and humidity. The climate is the observed weather for an extended period hence it identifiable with specific locations. The climate system is made of the elements such as biosphere (living organisms), cryosphere (ice sheets, oceans, and atmosphere) and geosphere (rocks, soils, and sediments).All these factors influence the changes in the movement of heat on the environment, which leads to climate change. The oceans…

The need for understanding plagues humanity. Our brains work tirelessly categorizing identifying, and creating patterns, relentlessly translating and processing the world around us. This is even the case while we slumber. According to the Activation Synthesis Theory of dreaming even when we are asleep we are trying to make sense of the haphazard cues, details and various stimuli festering in our subconscious. Burdened with the constant desire to understand and make sense of our environment,…

The biodiversity on our planet today has been formed from 3.5 billion years of evolution. Once humans step foot on earth the planet had to support more biodiversity than ever before. Since humans have become the dominant race the levels of biodiversity have declined rapidly impacting each species differently. Biodiversity is all living things; plants, animals and microorganisms, the genetic information they contain, and the ecosystems created by them. Biodiversity is explored in 3 levels that…

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration processes are thought of as completely opposite. They are completely opposite processes locked in a never-ending cycle. That cycle helps maintain the Earth's atmosphere to keep the planet inhabitable by making the air breathable. The processes both have many differences between them, but they also have many similarities. They cause the perfect balance that's essential to life, as we know it. The processes help…

2.1 The Formation of UHI Luke Howard first proposed the urban heat island concept in 1833, he had examined the average temperature between London city and villages in 1920. As the result showed that the London city temperature is significant higher than the rural area in the day and night due to land usage increasing, lack of vegetation, artificial environments and heat production effect the high temperature in urban area than rural area. Therefore, UHI change the urban district of the…
