Plate tectonics is the belief the lithosphere is separated into a few dozen plates that move around across the earth 's surface relative to each other, like big pieces of ice on a lake. If we were able to lay the earth flat to see where the plates were positioned, it would have the appearance of an orange peel; with the earth 's crust as the orange color shell and the white as the lithosphere. The break points would be fault lines, the plate’s outer perimeter that aligns and intersects them.…

Humanity has an inherent drive for superior understanding of our Solar system and to find environment similar to that of planet Earth which could contain life. As consequence, there have been several space missions to analyse climate, assess data and search for geological evidences of life. With net expenditure of approximately three billion dollars, the Cassini-Huygens space mission to Saturn system was a joint assignment among finest space agencies; National Aeronautics and Space…

Introduction: The Hawaiian Islands, a popular tourist location due to the inexpensive plane fare from the West Coast, are a convenient vacation get away. When I traveled to the Big Island of Hawaii for a month trip during summer break in July 2013, with my parents, I was able to explore many of Mauna Loa and Kilauea’s volcanic activity, history, and land formations. I also was able to walk out to the lava flowing into the ocean, viewing first hand, that the Big Island is continually expanding.…

One day I was sitting in my room trying to do my homework when all of a sudden a bright object flew right by my window and loudly landed in the yard. The noise was really loud, and it scared the living daylight out of me.My parents were on vacation, so at this point, there were many thoughts going through my head like, this is the end of the world, or aliens are invading. I mustered up some strength and carefully walked outside to investigate the bright object. I grabbed my bat, and finally…

I’m currently losing a fight to my pants, they're too tight and refuse to not be inside out. I'm dreading another day of school. The Corgan and Stoley volcano is about to erupt. I just hope I'm not one of the people that gets engulfed in flames. This weekend, bothered the fuck out of me, Clyde pestered me about Thomas the whole time at work. I am an informant, but leave me alone man, after I tell you that I don't know. My phone vibrates on my desk scaring the shit out of me, I almost drop…

The Permian Mass Extinction Introduction There are five major extinctions in history: the Late Devonian, the Ordovician-Silurian, the Permian-Triassic, the Triassic-Jurassic, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary. Known as the Big Five, these extinctions exceeded all others in size and destruction, each killing more than 60% of species from that period. Each one acted as a bottleneck, allowing the survival of only a fraction of the organisms that had been thriving before, from which evolution and life…

Neither Dale Carnegie nor the publishers, Simon and Schuster, anticipated more than this modest sale. To their amazement, the book became an overnight sensation, and edition after edition rolled off the presses to keep up with the increasing public demand. Now to Win Friends and InfEuence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers. It touched a nerve and filled a human need that was more than a faddish phenomenon of post-Depression days, as…
