soil will vary geographically and at different soil depths. Moisture content changes seasonally‚ varies according to the nature of the sub layers of earth‚ and the depth of the permanent water table. Since soil and water are generally more stable at deeper strata‚ it is recommended that the ground rods be placed as deep as possible into the earth‚ at the water table if possible. Also‚ ground rods should be installed where there is a stable temperature‚ i.e. below the frost line. For a grounding

The Giant planets Lesson 8.8 Introduction: Gas giants fall into different categories. So-called “traditional” gas giants include Jupiter. Jupiter is such a classic example of a gas giant that gas giants are often referred to as Jovian planets despite the fact that some gas giants ‚ice giants for instance are very different from Jupiter. Traditional gas giants have high levels of hydrogen and helium. Another category of gas giants is ice giants. Ice giants are also composed of small amounts

new perspective on our solar system‚ by being able to view how nature works outside of our own planet. Earth is a unique planet. So unique that our technology today has not discovered any other planets or satellites that could sustain human life. The earths atmosphere is composed of about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen however‚ space exploration might lead to a discovery of a similar planet to escape the depletion of our atmosphere. Technology in our current generation is ever changing

Ever since grade school you were taught that our solar system has nine planets. Sadly that is no longer the case; in 2006 astronomers have decided that Pluto no longer qualifies as a planet. Pluto is now considered a “Dwarf Planet” and has caused a lot of controversy among astronomers. A dwarf planet is not even considered to be a planet‚ and there are projected to be hundreds of them in our galaxy. Pluto is being demoted to what amounts as a third class citizen in our galaxy.

1. What transitions has Earth gone through and why? The young earth was anything but habitable. Radioactive elements decaying within its mass and impacts from debris raining down form space generated intense heat. There was no life during this era. Is called the Hadean era and was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Hadean comes from the Greek word Hades which means “Hell”. That’s how hot the Earth’s temperature was. The next phase in the Earth’s history was the Archean era. It existed
