Salt of the Earth

hanging from their mouths. They have monkey arms, long curved nails, beast feet, and goat ears. The Kallikantzaroi are tiny creatures that live in the depths of the Earth. Working all year round, they chop at a huge tree trunk that is the Earth's foundation. Right before finishing their job, Christmas Day comes and they surface on Earth for twelve days. During their visit they create destruction and play tricks on people. They hide from dawn till sunset and at night they run widely, pulling…

0°C and boiling at 212°F or 100°C, that in a more or less impure state constitutes rain, oceans, lakes, rivers etc; it contain 11188% of hydrogen and 88.812% of oxygen by weight. (Dictionary.com) The Earth is surrounded by 70% of water, however, that 70% is composed of salt water and fresh water. The salt water is made up of 97% and fresh water is 3%. 2% of the fresh water is frozen up in glaciers and ice caps and 1% is actually what we have today according to Water is necessary for maintaining…

location and family relation to the period table. The alkaline metals are a reactive group of metals and combine with other elements so easily that they are not found on earth in the form of their free metal. They are seen in nature in the form of ionic compounds like calcium carbonated and this occurs naturally in limestone etc. Alkaline earth metals…

engineering and an aspiring engineer, coming up with successful plans to bring clean water to those who lack it is a top priority. After all, approximately 780 million people lack access to an improved water source, which is about one in nine people on Earth (Water.org, 2014). This is a staggering and shocking number! As citizens of first world countries, we need to make clean water accessible to all people in every region of the planet. When living in an urban area, it is hard to think…

from the sun, because it protects the sun's rays. The reason why we don’t produce a lot water ourselves is because too much of it is lost, and it requires too much nuclear energy, and the means outway the benefits of making. Salt water is undrinkable and extracting the salt water takes time a lot of work and too much…

most frequently effect the creation of ocean currents are the Westerlies. It blow from west to east and the Trade Winds are blow from east to west. (Ashe, n.d) Next factor that create the currents is water density. This factor caused by the total of salt in a body of water and its temperature. Water with a higher salinity or a colder water is more dense and possible to sink while the sinking water pushes the water below it up. Through this process, it formed a combination of sinking and rising…

healthy environment. The following methods are used to determine water quality; Concentrations of common ions Total dissolved solids Total dissolved solids (TDS) measures water purity. TDS are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water, the…

The first moon, Io, is the closest to Jupiter of the Jovian moons, however, it is Jupiter’s fifth closest moon orbiting at roughly 262,000mi. Though it is slightly larger than our own moon, for Jupiter is it only the third largest. Ganymede, Io, and Europa are in orbital resonance with Jupiter, and this causes their orbits to become elliptical. Io’s orbit takes it through Jupiter’s magnetic lines of force causing it to generate electrical currents. These currents travel along Jupiter’s magnetic…

sea level to be exact—and is highly fuel efficient. It should be mentioned that the Inter-Planetary Transport System is eleven meters taller than the Space Launch System currently being developed by NASA and can also lift 3 times more weight to low-earth orbit (LEO) than NASAs’ Space Launch System. To further exemplify SpaceX’s technological superiority over NASA the Inter-Planetary Transportation System is reusable and can land it-self back on the same launch pad it initially took off from.…

I decided to write about the piece Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and the piece Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson. I believe there are similarities between the two pieces as well as some differences that makes each piece stand out. Each piece uses a different element of art and a principle form of art that makes the two pieces very noteworthy to the viewers. I chose these two pieces, because I can see why and how each of the two artist created their piece and it’s very interesting how…
