1. Summarize advances over time in determining the age of the Earth‚ including the importance of the discovery or radioactivity. Herodotus counted layers of earth near the Nile River in 450 B.C.E. The Bible was used in the Middle Ages to compute the age of the Earth. The 18th and 19th centuries brought a more scientific look into determining the age of the Earth by studying the salinities of the oceans‚ the rates of sedimentation‚ and models of cooling of different materials in order to calculate

Electromagnetic Wave from the sun such as light usually reflects horizontally off of surfaces. This process produces a super annoying glare that polarized sunglasses restrict from affecting your eyes. 3. In your own words‚ explain why we see a rainbow or colorful sunset. Explain the properties and interactions that make this display possible. (13 points) Sunlight is actually made up of a whole range of colors but when all these colors are combine it is seen as white.

There is one thing people of Earth have in common. They are all born‚ raised‚ and live their entire lives on planet Earth. They breathe oxygenated air made from the Earth’s trees‚ eat food grown in the soil‚ and drink pure water from Mother Nature’s springs. Yet‚ most humans do not make the connection that their very survival depends upon a healthy‚ thriving planet. Many treat the earth like the gum on the bottom of their shoes. Where is the respect for our one and only Earth‚ who has lovingly given all

Walking to the park‚ which in itself is odd for 2050‚ Amanda pauses and takes in the aroma of every real flower she can find. Her lean‚ tan figure stands out against the bland Earth around her. As she‚ once again‚ mistakes an energy conserving flower for a real one‚ she sighs as a look of disappointment and sadness absorbs her navy blue eyes. Her red peplum top is the brightest color anyone can see for miles as she places herself on a nearby bench. As she watches the blankness of the ground and listens

of deodorants contain different amounts of aluminum? Thus‚ how can we stay on the safe side and use the least amount of aluminum possible. Why do deodorants with a greater amount of aluminum cause a more serious threat than ones with a smaller amount? Hypotheses The aluminum content in each of the deodorants will vary where the deodorants Axe and Citymen contain more aluminum then Nivea. By using Nivea‚ in the long term a person will be safer due to lower amounts of aluminum being present in their
