The crops that are grown around the world for human consumption thrive in exact conditions which may no longer be met with the impending threat of increased climate change. Meteorological events such as droughts will become more frequent as the climate transforms over time, reducing the water available for agricultural irrigation. Moreover, general increases in temperature could make it impossible to grow food in areas that currently serve as the best suppliers, and are likely to make way for…
transmitted from the Black Knight satellite. With the help of their friend Ahna (Freida Pinto, Slumdog Millionaire, Rise of the Plaent of the Apes), they seek to unite the world in anticipation of the Black Knight’s (voiced by Usher) revelation on Earth. Relying on support from communities around the world, the trio are in a race against time to decode the signals and respond before the government attempts to shut them…
Tornadoes: Past, Present, and Future Severe weather has always been an interest for many people whether they have experienced it or seen it on media like shows and movies. Dr. Victor Gensini Associate professor of meteorology gave a lecture on Tornadoes of the past, present and future. For much of science we look into the past to give us useful information that may help people. For example, by studying past tornadoes we are now able to better locate and warn people when a tornado is near.…
Freelance Journalism I believe this piece is purely meant to be an informational piece. The author presents no opinion to the audience and has no purpose to write said article outside of educating the reader. “A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely no propellant.” (Paragraph 1, Line 1) Personally, I do not believe this is a quality opening hook, simply because it would…
cause mass damage to the Earth. The Antarctic region is devastated due to the exposure to ultraviolet light and the climate across the world has begun to shift. Due to the harmful impact humans have has on the environment, this even could cause a major catastrophe for the earth and its inhabitants. The ozone is a layer of gas in the atmosphere that protects all living things on the Earth from ultraviolet rays produced by the Sun; these rays are very harmful to the earth and its inhabitants. The…
Hi Professor Bradley, I invite you to take a look at the resources I have posted on the discussion page. There's certainly a great deal that I would like to say, but as you requested in our conversation last week I will do my best not to dominate the conversation. I want to introduce the concept of "paradigms" and explore how ideological/rhetorical frames can influence our attitudes perceptions and behaviors. I will draw the tri-polar "spectrum of environmental ideologies;" Ecocentrism -----…
There have been many volcano eruption occurred in New Mexico. Through these eruption we can make a prediction of what will happen in the future. I look at the Figure V1 that shows the location, age, and composition of volcanoes and volcanic rocks in New Mexico. Figure V2 shows the histogram of ages for volcanic rocks in the Jemez Mountains. Figure E1 shows the important large-scale tectonic features. After looking at Figure VI and V2 i noticed there is relationship between varies Volcano…
I chose the topic, Geology: Understanding Fossils. I’ve always been fascinated by fossils and where they came from, what we can gain/learn from them. My source for research is below, used via Google Scholar. Fossils - why are they important? This is a great question that a lot of people should be well-informed with. In the mission to seek out and discover fossils, we learn a lot about why this is important and where it all started. In the book, “Discovering Fossils: How to Find and Identify…
many reasons in the matter of why I trust people are the reason a dangerous atmospheric division exists. A reason, with respect to why I think the nursery effect is warming the result of when nature traps warm warmth that is then transmitted from Earth towards space. There are sure sorts of gasses noticeable all around that have a tendency to impede the flow from escaping. Both the normal nursery gasses and the human improved nursery impact help cause a worldwide temperature alteration. For…
The objects between 42 and 47 AU are in very stable orbits – not affected in any significant way by any of the planets. Like the “classical” planets, these objects are in nearly circular orbits, so were given the name “Classical KBOs” (CKBOs), by David Jewitt. Of the CKBOs, about one-third have a low orbital inclination of around 2o – these are the “Cold” CKBOs. The remaining two-thirds have a much higher inclination of up to 20o or more – the “Hot” CKBOs. Hot and cold do not have anything to do…
