Temperature record of the past 1000 years

Meghan Lewis Dinosaur Case Study September 25, 2017 Introduction Imagine if after 6 million years of existing on earth, the entire human race died out by the year 3320. Within a mere 1000 years’ all of humanity would be wiped from existence. This was the case with the dinosaurs and many other species living in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic period. 65 million years ago a meteorite roughly 10 km across hit the earth’s surface, and the impact would be a catalyst to the extinction of 75% of the species…

junction producing the lowest current. Therefore, current density, which has an inverse relationship with bandgap energy, should ideally be equal between the junctions. However, multijunction designs are intrinsically based on a range of bandgaps, so material selection involves a compromise between matched current densities and ideal coverage of bandgaps. Layer thickness can be optimized to minimize losses [7]. Power conversion efficiency is defined as the ratio of electrical power output from…

When the heated atmosphere air meets with the water, it increases the water temperature. “More than 90 percent of all the heat energy trapped by man-made global warming pollution goes into the ocean… the buildup of ocean heat content has increased dramatically… in the past 25 years- and it is accelerating” (Gore 56). This increase in water temperature is not good for developing storms, for it can cause them to be worse than intended. “... when ocean-based storms…

This empire was constructed of city-states. “Mayan culture was well established by 1000 BCE, and it lasted until 1697 CE. All Maya shared a common culture and religion, but each city governed itself and had its own noble ruler.” -Baquedano, Elizabeth. Throughout the gradual collapse, some city-states simply faded, failing to continue…

passed through many stages since their synapsid ancestors first appearance in Carnivorous period between 320 to 315 years ago All mammals are related deeply in their bones and today’s mammals are one of the mammal lineages that survived. Scientific evidence suggests that Otters have been on Earth from the past 23 million years and present day’s Otter evolved about 7 millions years ago. Otters have gone through many adaptations and scientists believe that Otters were once only land animals but…

Imagine living in a world that is lacking in resources and breathable air. The land around you is completely barren, and there are absolutely no signs of life. Cities that once were lively are now desolate and abandoned. If Earth keeps heading in the direction it is going, soon enough it will be deprived of all that is good in it. The planet is very slowly headed towards its demise due to global warming. Because of the damage done from greenhouse gas emissions on the planet, the government needs…

In America every year, thousands gather in Alaska, to watch the greatest dog sled race in the world. 100 mushers start at the starting line in Anchorage, Alaska, and travel thousands of miles, to the finish line is Nome, Alaska. They are put out with many challenges along the way. Frost bite, below freezing temperatures, etc. etc. But somehow they all have a goal, the goal of being an idol to someone. To show people and kids, that it’s okay to go out there, when the chances are slim of surviving…

tried their best to stop the loss of oxygen and power. This did not go as expected so about an hour and a half after the accident Mission Control Center contacted the crew about using the lunar module as a way home. An idea like this was studied for years and showed advancements (Williams). The service module was not powering back up and they knew they needed the other consumables that were stored in the Lunar module, Aquarius, for these type of situations. All things considered one of the most…

Background The eastern side of the North Island relies on rainfall from cold fronts, which causes irregular patterns including moisture deficiencies and extreme conditions of temperature (Garnier, 1958). Garnier (1958) has found that the mountain ranges have formed a climatic barrier separating the west and east and resulting in the different climates and geomorphology: the Tararua range; the Ruahine; the Kaimanawa; and the Ruakamara Mountains (Garnier, 1958). The eastern north island, New…

are, how they have been used, what led to their decline, what is being done to help them, and their importance to the Pacific Northwest. Salmon are part of a family of fish called Salmonidae. Modern salmon began to appear in the fossil record about 6 million years ago. Salmon are anadromous, meaning that they migrate…
