1. Crust: The Earth’s surface is composed mostly of water‚ basalt and granite. Oceans cover about 70% of Earth’s surface. The Earth’s thin‚ rocky crust is composed of silicon‚ aluminum‚ calcium‚ sodium and potassium. The crust is divided into continental plates which drift slowly (only a few centimeters each year) atop the less rigid mantle. The crust is thinner under the oceans; this is where new crust is formed. Continental crust is about 25-90 km thick. 2. Mantle: Under the crust is the rocky

spacecraft and from Earth very difficult. There are many craters on Mercury that are made from a particular impact. There is also balsatic rock and plains which are made in the event of a massive volcanic eruption. There are also vents‚ made when a magma chamber collapses. Mercury’s density has produced a solid iron core that accounts for 60% of its volume. As of 2011‚ 99% of Mercury’s surface has been mapped by NASA. Overall‚ Mercury’s surface has many similarities to the Moon’s surface with many plains

Material: Realms of the Earth Astro-physicists and scientists believe that there could be quite a few planets in the Universe similar to our planet Earth. There is also a probable chance that some form of life prevails and sustains in one of such planet. However‚ so far as we presently know‚ the Earth is the only planet which supports life which makes it a very unique planet. It is therefore imperative (very important and necessary) for us to understand the spheres of the Earth as the spheres play a

DISTANCE CALCULATION Because of the near-spherical shape of the Earth (technically an oblate spheroid) ‚ calculating an accurate distance between two points requires the use of spherical geometry and trigonometric math functions. However‚ you can calculate an approximate distance using much simpler math functions. For many applications the approximate distance calculation provides sufficient accuracy with much less complexity. The following approximate distance calculations are relatively simple

Skimming the Surface of Babbitt Not all of us can have a great escape with that fairy child in our dreams. In Chapter 1 part II of the satirical phenomenon‚ Babbitt‚ by Sinclair Lewis; he really gives you something to ponder. In the previous section Lewis had just ended saying how the city of Zenith was “built-it seemed- for giants”‚ putting this city on a pedestal for its community. This statement is already mocking the citizens of Zenith who are materialistic middle-classmen‚ like Babbitt

Magnificent Earth In the solar system‚ the earth‚ was made to work properly‚ and in addition‚ to have the ability to allow humans to inhabit on it. Being the only planet that humans are able to live on‚ God have designed and made the magnificent earth genuinely. First‚ there’s the protected atmosphere that’s poisonous in every way‚ but gratefully placed up in the sky‚ ten miles above the surface‚ made from the significant element— oxygen‚ lacking elsewhere in the solar system. Secondly‚ the earth is tilted

Lecture III The traditional grammatical classes of words are called "parts of speech". Since the word is distinguished not only by grammatical‚ but also by semantico-lexemic properties‚ some scholars refer to parts of speech as "lexico-grammatical" series of words‚ or as "lexico-grammatical categories". It should be noted that the term "part of speech" is purely traditional and conventional. In modern linguistics‚ parts of speech are discriminated on the basis of the three criteria: "semantic"

EARTH SURFACE REALMS 2And3 We can look at Earth’s surficial "layers" as being comprised of several major realms or "geospheres": the atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ biosphere and pedosphere. The reference to "sphere" applies because Earth is spherical‚ and hence layers around it form somewhat spherical shells at the outermost edges of the solid planet. The atmosphere‚ biosphere and lithosphere more completely encircle Earth‚ while the hydrosphere and pedosphere tend to be more discontinuous
