us to live on Earth. Not only can organisms live due to this setting, but every beautiful thing existing on the planet can too. A scientific journey has taken place to form every snowflake that falls in the Denali National Park. Perfect conditions led to each grain of sand lining the Eastern Seaboard. The wonders of nature are so delicate. Unfortunately, humans are jeopardizing this perfect balance that has been given to us. Since the 1700’s, 337 billion metric tons of carbon have been discharged…

Humans have changed the face of Earth from the moment they first arrived. We humans who rule the earth and live in the earth have changed in many ways; ever since we came we have had growth in population, impact has been greater. We cut down forests, emitting pollutants, spilling oil, burying toxic waste, dumping garbage in oceans. We have affected this earth in a very positive and a negative way ever since we arrived on this planet called earth. Let me take you on a journey of how humans have transformed…

The Grand Canyon is a wonderful place to gain a sense of how old the earth really is because of the ability to date the layers of rock in the canyon. The Rocks exposed in Grand Canyon are truly ancient, ranging from 1840 million years old or 1.84 billion years old (to 270 million years of age. (Beus, and Morales, 2003). While the Grand Canyon is not old in comparison to much of the earth, it is considered young earth because it was slivered by an ie in the last six million years. This gives the rocks…

The Water Cycle This essay examines choices I have made that impact the earth’s water cycle. I have focused primarily on water conservation and acknowledged my greenhouse gas contributions. I have a new appreciation for the hydrologic cycle. I had not previously thought about the world’s water supply in terms of 1.39B cubic kilometers or that only one percent of this is available as fresh water for humanity to work with (not accounting for the polar icecaps, glaciers or ocean desalination efforts)…

discusses, with considerable proof, the history of life on earth and how biological populations have changed and developed over successive generations. Despite the abundance of evidence for evolution, both scientific and physical, some still doubt the validity of this theory. However, once compared with the alternative theory of creation, it is apparent that evolution is the most probable explanation for the origin of life on earth, to date. This essay will explain a handful of theories which provide…

Role of Expiration Dates in Yeast Sample Viability Nasser Almoteb Kathryn Knackstedt 12/9/2015 Biology 2040, 1003 Abstract Yeasts consume organic compounds (e.g. sugar) to make ATP in a process called fermentation, creating ethanol and carbon dioxide. Dried yeast samples are in a quiescent state; that is, the yeast are in a state of arrested cell growth. Given the differing expiration dates of our yeast samples, we hypothesized that the yeast nearest to their expiration dates would take…

Life on Earth is ending, Aurora, when yours only just began. Our morning started like any other: me, cocooned in cotton but so very free—because there you were, curled up beside me. Slipping out of bed, I tiptoed to the kitchen to prepare your breakfast. Outside, snow spiraled through the late-December air. Peering through the frosted window, I smiled, reveling in the thought of us, living inside of our own personal snow globe. As I reached for the remote control to turn on the weather channel,…

Place and date of Birth Once upon a time, there was a baby born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England (Isaac Newton.). and (Isaac Newton, reluctant genius.). This was no ordinary being as he would change the world and our perception of the universe forever. Isaac was his name, and he was an English-born physicist and mathematician (Isaac Newton.). Living Conditions He was the only son of a yeoman farmer, who’s name was also Isaac Newton, that sadly died three months before he was born (Isaac…

Introduction Sharks have been on Earth for over 400 million years with a wide variety of variations ranging from the powerful Great White Shark to the small Horn Shark of the Northwest Pacific. Throughout shark evolution, they have kept a similar body plan as well as similar hunting strategies while avoiding becoming food for the larger Placoderms of the Devonian to the large marine reptiles that dominated the Mesozoic Period. As the Mesozoic Period came to an end, sharks rose to dominance as…
