Moreover, you will cast more than one shadow when all three suns are in the sky! There could even be up to three shadows! The largest sun is Clotho whereas the two smaller stars are Lachesis and Atropos. These names are from the three Fates in Greek mythology that oversee the allegorical strands of life. For instance, Clotho spins our lifelines, Lachesis weaves the thread into the tapestry of our lives, and Atropos cuts the strings. Gnaritus is a Goldilocks planet in that it is just right…

At 00:00 UTC of July 1st, the thunderstorm was upgraded to a tropical depression, due to the organization of convection into a banding feature along the storm’s south side. (Brown, 2014). The depression then moved along a northwesterly route carrying with it showers and thunderstorms. The newly-designated tropical depression began to build upon itself. Wind speeds were measured at around 38 mph, and the NHC upgraded the storm from a tropical depression to a tropical storm. (Stewart, 2014). The…

are taken. Ozone Measuring Instrument (OMI) can distinguish between aerosol types, such as smoke, dust, and sulfates, and measures cloud pressure and coverage, which provides data to obtain specific data (Aura). Measurement of pollution in the troposphere (MOPITT) is an instrument designed to research the lower atmosphere and to study…

Phylogeny of Sphyrna- Hammerhead Sharks INTRODUCTION I will be investigating the phylogenetic history of Sphyrna, a genus of hammerhead sharks. The eight species that fall under this genus are Sphyrna corona (scalloped bonnethead), Sphyrna gilberti (Carolina hammerhead), Sphyrna lewini (scalloped hammerhead), Sphyrna media (scoophead), Sphyrna mokarran (great hammerhead), Sphyrna tiburo (bonnethead), Sphyrna tudes (smalleye hammerhead), and Sphyrna zygaena (smooth hammerhead). Hammerhead sharks…

Global Warming Global warming has become a major issue for us today. Global warming is an increase in temperature caused by many different natural and manmade reasons. Because of global warming, not only are humans affected, but also animals who struggle to survive and the plants who allow us to survive. Global warming is becoming a bigger risk for all of us each day. Even though there are many causes and effects, there are many ways to prevent global warming as well. Global warming has various…

Imagine that a freshly opened lint roller that was left lying on the couch. After a few minutes the brush is longer clean and certain areas have become colorful and fury. This is because the particles from the couch and the air are beginning to stick to the tape on the outside layer. For the brush that is okay because this layer can be removed, and the process can be repeated over and over. So many of the particles found in the air can cause harm to our lungs, but one that is least expected is…

Extreme events, the increase in carbon dioxide levels, and the increase in overall temperatures are all signs of rapid climate change. It’s likely that the current warming trend is human induced. Our increased use of greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, and warms the planet (Climate Change, 2016). There is hope. One likely combatant is algae. At the end of my speech you’ll know the many ways algae can be used to fight climate change. Body I.…

and ultra-violet radiation and reflects energy as ultra-violet radiation. The energy received and reflected by the Earth must be in equilibrium but the Earth’s atmosphere affects this balance of energy through the existing gases and clouds in the troposphere (first 14 km from the earth surface). The gases and clouds are able to retain or reflect the sun output and the entire system can change depending of the amount of energy trapped by these elements or reflected by…

Why is there such concern about the threat posed by anthropogenic climate change? Review the arguments for and against. There is such concern about the threat posed by anthropogenic climate change because of the affects it has on land surfaces, oceans and the ozone layer. The depletion of the concentrated ozone layer in the stratosphere is a big concern as it is believed to be cause by gas emissions which include, methane, carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons and many more (Middleton, 2013). The…

However, due to greenhouse gasses, not all of the terrestrial radiation makes it directly back to space. Greenhouse gasses are unique in that they are transparent to solar radiation, but absorb terrestrial radiation. This in return heats up the troposphere, thus the term “Global Warming” is…
