Think back to summer vacation. What did you do to fill those two months? Most kids would just sit around all day waiting for school to start. But if you were out trying new things and meeting different people‚ Thomas Jefferson would be proud. As Jefferson once wrote: "Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." I agree with this statement and believe that staying active will ultimately lead to progress. For instance‚ while Bob sits waiting for the

and the moon. Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of earth’s ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the moon and the sun acting on the earth . Tides cause changes in the depth of the sea and produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams‚ making prediction of tides important for coastal navigation. The strip of seashore that is submerged at high tide and exposed at low tide‚ the intertidal zone ‚ is an important ecological product of ocean tides. The relative distance of the Moon from

GCSE Astronomy Topic 1 Key Facts The Earth Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the Earth accurately. He measured the altitude of the Sun North of a place where the Sun was at the zenith at exactly the same time. Knowing the distance and the angle one can work out the circumference. The Earth is a slightly flattened sphere with average diameter 13‚000km The Earth takes 23 hours 56 minutes to rotate. This is a sidereal day. The Earth is the only known planet with liquid water and a range

Wave Characteristics Wavelength = the distance between the crest of two adjacent waves. Wave Amplitude = the distance between sea level and the crest. Wave Crest =the highest point of the wave. Wave Trough = the lowest point of the wave. Wave Height = the distance

March 7‚ 2014 Chevonne McNish Paper Assignment #1 Philosophy The article: "The Problem of Induction" is understood by the writer Bertrand Russell as: whether the laws of nature that have held in the past will continue to hold in the future. He reflects on our daily subconscious assumptions. Thesis: If we accept Russell’s claims about induction as true‚ there are several consequences we may face. Due to human naiveness‚ we may have been so used to the way things are that‚ if they changed

The first landing on the moon was an incredible milestone for humans. It marked the end of the Space Race‚ the creation of advanced technologies‚ and the unification of the USA. The start of the space race saw the Soviet Union take a giant head start over the United States of America with the successful launch of Sputnik‚ a Soviet Union satellite launched on October 4th‚ 1957. The Soviets also launched Sputnik 2‚ which contained a live passenger‚ but the passenger died due to the overheating of the
