Kavan Marambe 927118167 Physical Science Summer 13’ Why Does Earth Support Life? Research Paper Introduction Earth is where all of us live in. Earth is the 3rd Planet from the sun‚ as well as the 5th largest planet in our solar system. As far as humans know Earth is unique in the Solar System as being the only planet which is able to support life in all its forms: from basic micro-organisms to highly sophisticated human beings. There are many reasons why this happens. In this Research paper

Young Earth Creation Recently‚ new speculation has shown that mother earth may in fact not be 4.5 billion years old‚ as has been taught in schools for many generations. However‚ young earth creationist believe that the world is only approximately six thousand years old. According to the Christian Bible‚ if we were to follow the chronology of many of its books including Genesis‚ Exodus‚ Galatians and 1 Kings‚ we would gather a general timeline of when God created the universe and the Earth. No

“Solar Radiation and its Effects on Planet Earth” The Sun emits a tremendous amount of energy‚ in the form of electromagnetic radiation‚ into space. If we could somehow build a gigantic ball around the Sun that completely enclosed it‚ and lined that ball with perfectly efficient photovoltaic solar panels‚ we could capture all of that energy and convert it to electricity and be set in terms of Earth ’s energy needs for a very long time. Lacking such a fanciful sphere‚ most of the Sun ’s energy

The Earth is constantly moving. The earth is not stable because‚ the plates are all ways moving.There is different boundaries for the plates in the earth there is convergent‚ Divergent‚ and transform boundaries. The transform boundaries rub together and causes enough friction that when the potential energy lets loose it creates an earthquake. convergent boundaries we’ll come together that can help make mountains because when one plate is more dense than the other plate‚ the more dense plate will

Understanding how the Maya viewed the Earth‚ surrounding sky‚ and our very existence is key in grasping how astronomy played into their religion. Mayan cosmology places Earth at the center of the universe‚ as the first layer in a sequence of the heavens‚ Earth‚ and the underworld. It is envisioned as a large wheel surrounded by a divine water known at the teoatl‚ which extends to the horizon. The second layer‚ known as the Ilhuicatl metzli‚ consists of the moon and clouds. The fixed stars make

reasonably firm and the leaves of mature size. Many broadleaf evergreen shrubs are some conifers are propagated by this method. Hardwood cuttings These cuttings are normally from dormant mature stems in late fall‚ winter or early spring. Plants generally are fully dormant with no obvious signs of active growth. The wood is firm and does not easily bend. Hardwood cuttings are used most often for deciduous shrubs but can be used for evergreens. Example of plants propagated at the hardwood stage include

The Creation Of The Universe‚ The Earth‚ And Human Beings In the beginning there was only darkness. For many millions of years this darkness remained. There were no stars‚ no sun‚ and no earth. But one day something very special happened. The darkness created light. It was a very small amount of light but it was just enough. The light became the husband of the dark. After a long while both the light and the dark became bored. The light began to insult the dark and the light replied with equally

With this fact in mind‚ it is no wonder that the city of Massachusetts politicians felt that it would be a great investment. Solar energy is lauded as an inexhaustible fuel source that if free of pollution and has very few adverse effects on the earth. An example states that big windows placed on the sunny side of a building allow sunlight to heat absorbent materials on the fllor and walls. These surfaces then release the heat at night to keep the building warm. Similarly‚ absorbent plates on

The Kikuyu tribe is one of the largest tribes in Kenya; they inhabit the Aberdares mountain range‚ which is located in the eastern highlands of Kenya. The tribe has done an ethno botanical survey on the use of medicinal plants‚ showing the popular evergreen tree known as Prunus Africana‚ has been used to cure prostatitis and genitourinary disorders. Due to the high amount of men suffering from prostate diseases‚ there is a higher demand for production of drugs that are made from the extracts of the
