The Alaskan Way Viaduct will collapse because of an earthquake.The earthquake’s cause has to do with the layers of the Earth, mainly the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The result of the lab “Density Column” proved that since the layers of the Earth are stacked on top of each other, like the liquids in the “Density Column”, the layers must have different densities. Another lab that was done in class, “Density Cubes”, showed that density, or the amount of mass in a certain space, can depend on the size of atoms and the space between atoms. More of this evidence is shown in a science article that was also read in class.…

In this passage from Jon Krauaker's Into Thin Air, Jon Krauaker does not display the sense of accomplishment that one would expect from achieving such a difficult endeavor. He really displays a sense of grief and dissatisfaction from what he had accomplished. For taking a risk as life threatening as this, in Krauaker's eyes, he couldn't possibly be proud of what he had done when so many men had lost their lives during the same excursion that he journeyed on. Throughout this novel, Jon Krauaker uses immense amounts of rhetorical devices to display his emotion to convey his attitude toward the dangers of climbing Mt. Everest.…

Unfortunately, the state’s pristine terrain and far off location doesn’t make it immune to the drug, alcohol and mental problems that plague the rest of the nation.…
There are many states in North America. Formally known as the United States of America. From New York to California, you could find millions of different types of people, and cultures from around the world. But how about a state that is so isolated from them all, that many people forget it was even added as the 49th state to the country? The lone state of Alaska is to the north west of the major states and if laid on top of the other states, would cover about two-thirds of the land. And for a state that is so large, it is surely simply thought of as the coldest state. Alaska is much more then that, and has a lot of history behind just a land of snow and mountains.…
