Guided tours of the island‚ including the Martello tour come at a cost. The bureau of meteorology operates a weather facility from the island and published observations at half hourly intervals on their website. The evidence is overwhelming to support the historical significance of Fort Denison to Sydney and its harbor. Its diverse background

CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKES‚ TSUNAMI AND CYCLONES EARTHQUAKES What are Earthquakes? ← An earthquake (also known as a quake‚ tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency‚ type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer; a device which also records is known as a seismograph. The moment

The Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun. Solar energy is the main driving factor in the generation of weather and climate. World temperatures decrease as one moves toward the poles. The study of Earth’s atmosphere is known as meteorology. What is the source of the energy that powers the Earth system? The Sun and heat from Earth’s interior (both A and B) A theory is a well-tested and widely accepted view that best explains certain scientific observations. All of the following

Types of Energy: Energy is the ability to do work and there are many types of energy. Mechanical Energy is the energy of motion that does the work like the wind turns a windmill. In physics‚ mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The law of conservation of energy states that in an isolated system that is only subject to conservative forces‚ like
