and natural gas; they are nonrenewable, in this life time, they do have a chance to renew, however, it takes millions of years for fossil fuels to form beneath the Earth's surface The Fossil fuels being used today began their creation during the Carboniferous period which took place over 300 million years ago, plants absorbed sunlight, when they died this sunlight was stored with in their stems and leaves. During a duration of approximately 300 million years, the plants were covered in water and crushed

the Problem with Burning Fossil Fuels? Hydrocarbons, which are formed from the remains of dead animals and plants, such as natural gas, coal and oil are known as fossil fuels. These natural resources were created millions of years ago during the Carboniferous Period (Glossary: #2). During this time, the earth was covered in swamps, algae, plants and vegetation but over time the plants and vegetation died sinking to the bottom of the swamps. This created a squishy material called peat. Following was

solutions to the mess we’ve created in order to overcome and fix the tragedy of our current state of abuse to our earth. Fossil fuel is a term used to describe a group of energy sources that were formed from ancient plants and organisms during the carboniferous period. Most of the air pollution we cause results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles. Carbon dioxide is a good indicator of how much fossil fuel is burned

Indeed DNA profiling has rapidly transform the field of forensics. DNA profiling is the scientific analysis of evidence for crime scene investigation and other legal proceedings. DNA profiling is mostly used by forensic scientists and crime lab technicians. To identify criminals and victims using trace evidence like hair or skin samples. To produce a DNA profile, scientists compare sequences in the genome that vary from person to person. The typical steps in DNA profiling are DNA samples are isolated

This essay will reason that in a more contested Asia-Pacific strategic environment, Australia will not need to develop a more independent strategic and defence policy, but should reduce reliance on its United States’ ally. The Asia-Pacific region is continuously undergoing great economic growth and development and many countries are enjoying the benefits derived from it, including Australia. On the other hand, the world is seeing a rise of military and economic powerhouses in the region, most notably

Origins of Our Fossil Fuels Coal, oil, and gas were all formed from the remains of decayed and decomposing ancient animals and plants (Science Daily 2014). These fossil fuels we produced far before the dinosaurs ever roamed the earth, during the Carboniferous Period (Chapter 8 2012). This period of time, estimated around 360-286 million-years-ago, is believed to be when the earth was covered mostly in trees, plants, and swamps, and the bodies of water existing at the time were all filled with hundreds-of-millions

(Stanley, 349) However, it was not until the third episode, during Cenozoic era, that the “conspicuous fold and thrust belt of the central and southern Appalachians formed” as the result of the mid-carboniferous collision of Euroamerica with Gondwanaland (Stanley, 372). At the point of impact between the Euroamerica and Gondwanaland plates, immense pressure turned igneous and sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock which proceeded to break in numerous

1. a) What are the major global events that occurred in the Proterozoic? (3) Three global events occurred during the Proterozoic: The oxygen revolution: During the Proterozoic, biotic system were being established, which gave rise to biomass of the prokaryotic organisms like the “benthic and planktonic photosynthesizing organisms” Due to the vast developing diversity of environment, organisms could well adapt to these various environments, which increased the input of oxygen on Earth. Hence

04/18/2016 The Global Warming Era Our global climate change has not always been a top concern for scientists, politicians or even our very own view on the rapid rates of global warming data. The drastic change and harm that has occurred to the nature around us has become a huge concern that must be dealt with appropriately and done so in a timely manner, with rapid glacier melting that has caused rising sea levels or the .15-degree temperature increase per decade since the 1900`s we can noticeable

The objective of the trip to Blount Springs, Alabama was to observe and gather data on the geological structure of the area. Blount Springs is located in the northern part of Alabama just 33 miles north of Birmingham, and lies on the southernmost part of the Appalachian fold belt. The field work began on the morning of Saturday April, 7th at 8:50am. The weather was cloudy with temperatures in the mid 40’s, and the area was wet from rain the previous night. Our materials included a map of the area
