Structure of the Earth

I decided to do my review on a lecture featuring a man named Dr. Eric Smith. He is a professor that spoke at Santa Fe Institute on April 11 of 2007 about the topic of life. This lecture was sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute and in this lecture Smith covers the main topics of how life started, what it’s is made up of, and if it was inevitable or rare. He begins to talk about how life is the result of physical and chemical processes. Smith then quotes a quote from a man named Steven Gould. “Any…

decades of history, pedestrian streetcars scooted down the boulevard, the restaurants and museums displayed influence of various cultures, steam boats floated along the river providing tourists with a unique escape into history on an endangered structure, and smells of gumbo and pralines flirted tenderly with my senses. I have never been to such a distinctive location before and it goes without saying that I was extraordinarily impressed. Throughout time New Orleans has collected many different…

magnificent lighthouse was built in 290-280 B.C. and opened to the public in 268 B.C.. Read on to find out how these structures were came about. The Great Giza The Great pyramids of Giza are great spot for tourists and man - made innovation. Ever wonder how the egyptians did it in 2550 B.C.? It stood as a tomb for…

from the government and economy to the family structure within the societies. Peguy wrote “Blessed Are” when The Great War was still in its beginning, in 1914. In Peguy’s poem we see the soldier and his cause exalted. Whether war was needed for national expansion and gain or to protect man’s home and family, it was noble. Death as a result of war was seen as honorable. The mention of God in the poem and the reference of men returning to the earth evoked the idea that God was pleased with…

scientific controversy. As we know that the scientists have discovered mysteries of the world and universe in the past decades. Is it to be believed that humans are involved in causing the global warming? One of my main reasons for saying that the Earth is actually becoming warmer, is because of the increasing temperatures through the thermometer records kept over the past century and half. It is recorded that around the world, the Earth’s average temperature has raised more than 1 degree…

that features the Chotta Kailasa. It is known as the Chotta Kailasa as it resembles the Hindu Cave 16 Kailasa temple. The temple was constructed somewhere around the 9th century and is believed that this structure was initially a part of the Hindu structures but was later converted into a Jain structure. The temple features a spectacular rock cut sculpture of an elephant reminiscent to the one found at Kailasa temple and also features images of 22 Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers of Jainism) and…

There are 9 circles in the Inferno, and Lucifer is contained at its bottom, at the center of the Earth. He illustrates 9 rings on the Mount Purgatory, and the Garden of Eden is at its top. Then, Dante finds the 9 ‘cieli’, the celestial spheres of Paradise crowned with the highest part of heaven called the Empyrean, and God, the radiating point of Light…

the differences in the depth of the focus. Shallow-focus earthquakes, those with a focus not deep in the earth are more destructive than deep-focus earthquakes because the distance is not far enough to eliminate the intensity. It is shown that the Chilean earthquake occurred 22 miles beneath the ground, twice as deep as the Haitian quake. The implication is that there are “twice as much earth to absorb the shock before it reached building foundations”(The Week staff, 2010). Intense ground…

Fujiyama however is a large composite volcano, produced by the crustal plate being melted after being sub ducted into the mantle. “Classic composite cones are large, nearly symmetrical structures consisting of alternating layers of explosively erupted cinders and ash interbedded with lava flows, (Foundations of Earth Science, pg.…

Some observers have even described his visits as great manifestations of floating balls of light, others have called them bluish columns shooting up out of the earth like reverse lightning, reaching up into the sky from the ground. No one yet knows the mysteries behind this mythical being. However with every new sighting, and every new scientific discovery the myth behind Earthshaker is slowly fading. Earthshaker…
