a cyclone (Chu 2016). Beta-drifting is when the storm is spinning one way on bottom and the opposite way up towards the atmosphere. Now since Saturn is moving on it’s axis with its own velocity, it then drags with it the storm’s spinning at their own speed as well; which would bring the storms straight to the poles (Kluger 2016). O 'Neil even quoted saying, “ The whole atmosphere is being dragged by its planet as it rotates… so all that air has some ambient angular momentum.” (Chu 2016). Over a…

Global Warming: How Can It Be Fixed? Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Global warming is the increase of the temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by the greenhouse effect, which is caused by high levels of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants. As a result, of Global Warming sea surface temperatures are warming and sea levels are rising. This has lead to an increase in…

picture of a hurricane. The hurricane above the factory symbolizes the affect pollution has on the earth’s weather. This pollution is causing deadly natural disasters to occur. Our over use of a factory and the substance that it creates causes the atmosphere to act abnormal, generating more natural disasters. In the second poster, the penguins walking on sand symbolizes climate change. The ice glaciers, that were once the home of the animals, are melting. This is pushing the penguins, and other…

small increases in Earth’s temperature caused by climate change can have severe effects on human, plant and animal life. The primary cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere—primarily carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide makes up 70% of the total greenhouse gases emitted. The ability of these gases to trap heat is what causes the greenhouse effect. Since the industrial revolution began in 1750, CO2 levels have risen…

Every winter you walk outside and you see birds flying south, also known as migration. With the help of climate change, it is messing up the birds’ migration instinct. Not helping climate change! In an article called” How Climate Drives Bird Migration” by David Tenenbaum, he talks about this issue. Tenenbaum uses data from an irruption (sudden burst of a number of animals) study based by citizen scientist (average people recording or doing things related to science) observations climate dipoles…

species are living in the forests that they call home, deforestation is a threat to their survival and for us, humans as well, since trees give us oxygen and if they are being cut down, as a result, it would increase the greenhouse gases within the atmosphere causing global warming. According to a research done by Softschools, (Softschools.com, n.d.) : ‘Approximately 20% of our oxygen is produced in the rainforests. It is estimated that they will be gone in 100 years, resulting in an extremely…

enclave is possible, after researching the idea. A valley is made by erosion and rivers. One of the conditions for a meteorological enclave is that it must be closed on all sides up to the tropopause, The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The side must reach the tropopause completely would need to be about 10 kilometres over the poles or over 18 kilometres above the equator. On Earth, there are not mountains that high, but on…

There is something about volcanoes that genuinely terrifies people all around the world. Though the dangerous landforms have the power to destroy a civilization and force many to restart their lives over, many only know what they see. Do volcanoes have the power to cause destruction, terror, and earthquakes? Yes, but these landforms do so much more than that. Volcanoes have the power to create new landforms, fertilize soil, create minerals and stones, and contribute to global cooling. Stromboli,…

It started out unexpectedly. The storm racing across the battlefield. The crash of thunder filled the atmosphere with rage. Fog spurred over the plains. The landscape ahead invisible to the naked eye. The sky was engulfed with hopes and prayers of the soldiers that inhabited the wasteland below. Rain fell like pellets soaking everything it could reach. My clothes hung limply off my body, dripping with the water that was flowing from the grey stained sky. The mud that was once hard turned into…

The Accuracy of Parts from The Martian The Martian is a fictional movie about an astronaut, Mark Watney, who gets stranded during the third manned mission to Mars and his survival story. This story can be broken down into three main parts. How he was stranded, what he did to survive, and the rescue mission to return him back to Earth. Each of these categories have smaller sub-sections to them. While analyzing pieces of the main parts in the movie, scientific accuracies and inaccuracies can…
