One other aspect of the magnificent earth is the surface itself. The layers of the Earth are very different in their composition. The crust, mantle, and core of the earth are all very fascinating. Also, a theory called plate tectonics attempts to explain many phenomena that occur on the surface of the earth, such as earthquakes. Some properties of the earth's surface are its layers, the plate tectonics theory, and earthquakes. The layers of the earth are very complex. These layers are the crust

regions where earthquakes are prominent Some indicate effects on humans, landscape and cities Images are a mixture of diagrams, cartographic, visual representations and photographs Images have been chosen deliberately as they have capacity to assist each of the types of students in the classroom. Some images are informative, some are emotive and each image was chosen as it helps to draw together elements of learning from earlier lessons. By differentiating visual representations of earthquakes, it is easier
imagine what I seemed like to others. During that time period one thing stayed constant-- my curiosity for the things around me, exploring my garden. I would dig up different rocks and neatly arrange them in a line, always wondering where they came from. My curiosity heightened when I went to California and actually experienced an earthquake, a small one albeit, but an earthquake nonetheless. Now, things have gotten better since second grade, but I’ve never quite achieved the same level of satisfaction
physical geology of the earth consists of a Core (inner and outer), the mantle, the asthenosphere and the lithosphere. The inner core is primarily a solid ball about 70% the size of the moon and thought to consist of an iron-nickel alloy with a temperature about the same as the sun. The outer core is a liquid layer about 1500 mils thick that is composed of iron and nickel, just below the mantle. The mantle is divided into layers, and is a rocky shell surrounding the core of the earth with about 84% of
indicate how fracking will affect the environment. Since 2010, fracking has raised many concerns about environmental impacts, including water contaminations, earth tremors, and air pollutions. Also, anti-fracking activists highlight the lacking of operational information and data of fracking companies makes tremendous toxic substances flow into the earth. They believe government should enforce more transparencies and regulations on fracking companies. Despite of economic benefits, due to its immense environmental
the core. The moon is best observed through telescope observations, however; the moon has always been subject to lunar landings, lunar samples, and orbiting space crafts. The moon has a very weak magnetic field in comparison to planets such as the Earth. The moon does not have a dipolar magnetic field. The crust is where most magnetization occurs. The first moon
Greenland and Finland The Arctic Circle lies at the northernmost point of the Earth. Several countries have areas that are within the Arctic Circle. Those countries are Canada, United States of America, Russia, Greenland, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden. For decades this cold and snowy part of the word was a mystery to those outside of it. Within the last decade many television reality shows have brought the reality of this cold region of the world into clear focus for those of us that have
relationship of the sciences. The film showed the interdisciplinary relationship of the other sciences by relating different sciences to another. The Big Freeze is a film about the climate change that is happening and has happened to the earth. We’ve all been wondering why these things happen and what caused it to happen. These past few years, especially in the Philippines, programs have been implemented like the eco bags, The Reuse, Reduce and Recycle to stop the climate change we have
Popol Vuh Popol Vuh is the Creation Story Myth by the Mayans. It is a myth history of the Quiché Maya of central highland Guatemala. Once subjugated by Pedro de Alvarado in 1524 (Woodruff 97). It was originally written by the K’iché people in the ancient times (1554-1558 CE). It was believed that all books written at that time where hidden from Christian missionaries so the author has hidden identities but then found their works and destroyed. Only four works of the Yucatan Maya survive in the present
