CONCLUSION Angiosperms (flowering plant) include in phylum Anthophyta.Angiosperms are plant that have flowers and fruit. Their part of the flower is a carpel which surrounds and protects the ovules and seeds. The fruit surrounds the embryo and aids seed dispersal. The great majority of angiosperms are classified either as monocots or eudicots.Monocot embryos have a single seed leaf (cotyledon)‚ and pollen grains with a single groove while eudicots (true dicots) have two cotyledons‚ and pollen

Loma Prieta Earthquake Story Teller By: Kavita Butani There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes‚ we cannot prevent droughts‚ and we cannot prevent conflict. Earthquakes and the damages they bring have affected the lives of many people around the world forever. As our community grows so does the danger caused by these quakes also increases by mass. Earthquakes can affect our lives in many ways; this type of natural disaster can upset everything from

The two volcanoes from these events are called stratovolcanos‚ meaning they are volcanoes built up of alternate layers of lava and ash(citation)‚ and cone shaped. Neither of these volcanoes are shield volcanoes‚ which are broad‚ domed volcanoes with gently sloping sides‚ characteristic of the eruption of fluid‚ basaltic lava(citation). Both of these volcano’s had a huge impacts on humans‚ human structures and property‚ and had very high damage costs. The major Mount St. Helens eruption was on

This volcano had its largest eruption on May 18‚ 1980. The ash and dust from the eruption reached as far as the Central United States. A total of 57 people died during the eruption that lasted 9 hours. 85 miles of highway and 15 miles of railways were destroyed. What would someone say about this natural disaster who was there? It was a normal day for my grandma‚ but when she turns on the news it became very far from normal. She see’s that Mt. St Helens erupts. After that‚ she looks outside‚ but

Description of the Event In a concurrence that still has NASA specialists shaking their heads‚ a small asteroid completely unrelated to 2012 DA14 struck Earth only hours before the publicized event. The impactor flew unexpectedly‚ literally from the direction of the sun where no telescope could see it‚ and took everyone by surprise as the meteor speckled across the sky above Russia’s Ural Mountains. The large fireball was observed on the morning of Feb. 15‚ 2013‚ in the skies near Chelyabinsk‚

The Atlantic Ocean is a little smaller than the Pacific Ocean. sharks are found in the Atlantic Ocean‚ which is near the gulf. A pretty cool fact I found is a mountain called the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Secondly‚ the Southern Ocean close to Antarctica. The arctic ocean is the habitat of the penguins we call Emperor penguins. the arctic ocean is five million square miles big to a depth of eight-teen thousand. The Atlantic Ocean runs 32 million square miles‚ the arctic ocean is five million square miles

First of all‚ Chile have many major active fault zones that are the root causes of earthquakes and other natural diaster. The Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault is major geological fault that runs a length of roughly 1000 km in a north-south direction and exhibits current seismicity. It is located in the Chilean Northern Patagonian Andes. It is a dextral intra-arc transform fault. When considered a fault zone‚ the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone (LOFZ) might include other neighboring faults such as Reigolil-Pirihueico

There has been an obvious escalation in seismic activity in Oklahoma that has left scientists as well as residents baffled as what could be the primary cause. The objective of this paper is to establish how the fracking processes of salt water disposal (SWD) and earthquakes are connected in Oklahoma. There has been previous examinations that has illustrated operations such as fracking sites throughout Oklahoma that were capable of producing a small quantity of earthquakes‚ however until now scientists

There has not been a bigger earthquake‚ or even one that comes close to the size of the San Francisco earthquake. That shook San Francisco‚ California with a magnitude of 7.8 that horrific day‚ in the year of 1906. The people of San Francisco had no idea of what was going to happen to their city on that day. Everything was about to change for the people of San Francisco‚ California. The San Francisco earthquake was completely devastating for the people. Leaving many in the aftermath homeless with
