Yosemite is a wonderful place to visit. If you have leisure time on your hands you should visit Yosemite. When I traveled there it took about 6-7 hours because I live in Orange County and Yosemite is located in east-central California.

Continental Drift Were the continents of this planet always situated the way they are today? Could there have been one supercontinent that over time broke off into the continents we know now? Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Pangaea as a hypothetical land area believed to have once connected the landmasses of the southern hemisphere with those of the northern hemisphere (Definition of Pangaea). This theory‚ discovered by Alfred Wegener‚ was known as the drift theory. Wegener used the fit of the

Yet there were still glimpses of happiness in Shelly ’s "vivid pictures of the grand scenes among Frankenstein- the thunderstorm of the Alps‚ the valleys of Servox and Chamounix‚ the glacier and the precipitous sides of Montanvert‚ and the smoke of rushing avalanches‚ the tremendous dome of Mont Blanc" (Goldberg 277) and on that last journey with Elizabeth which were his last moments of happiness.

Sea levels rise because of global warming‚ for two reasons: first‚ hot water expands‚ and second‚ it causes glaciers to melt‚ and water from these glaciers goes straight into the ocean. This problem might seem like a tiny one compared to others‚ but it isn’t. Today I want to inform you about why sea level rise is a bigger concern than what it seems to be‚ especially in the upcoming

Mans’ first feat of genetic engineering was corn; it was vital‚ and also unknown to the rest of the world. Corn was key to flourishing cultures in Americas‚ and
