| Lithosphere | Ecology (NASC 1093) | | The Lithosphere * The lithosphere is the hard shell of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the topmost part of the upper mantle. * It is a relatively thin layer, about 31 to 62 miles (50 to 100 km) thick under the oceans and 93 miles (150 km) thick on the continents. * It contains the minerals, rocks and soils that humans have used for building materials, metals and agriculture. * This layer is composed of the upper crust, about 3 miles

Introduction Arctic fish display a remarkable case of adaptation, living in in low temperatures around 0˚C with areas of ice that can be -1.9˚C (DeVries, 1971). The ability for Arctic fish to thrive in such a low temperature environment is made possible by a class of proteins called Antifreeze proteins. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are polypeptides that are biosynthesized in animals, plants and fungi that prevent ice crystal formation (Griffith & Ewart, 1995). The

magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in and around the city of Napa, CA. The earthquake killed one person and injured over 150 people. And these people were treated at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa [1]. More and more earthquakes occurred on this earth. So this grasps people’s attention. According to the research report, it will cause thousands of people die, towns submerged, buildings and bridges damaged once a huge earthquake and tsunamis happened on the Pacific Northwest area near American coast

African plate is colliding with the European part of Eurasian plate. This made the Alps on top of Italy. Mount Vesuvius is south of that subduction zone. The subduction zone creates a vast amounts of pressure on the plate that is on top of the zone. Hence, the volcanoes are formed so that the pressure are released. It has also been to as a theory that, the area is a hotspot. A hotspot is a small area where the magma under the crust is high temperate. This high temperature under the area creates volcano

The Great White Shark Beginning with the simplest one-celled organism, an extraordinary animal rose in the murky waters entitled to a non-comparable killing-eating machine. This organism has become nature’s most genuine and most successful creature that it has remained unchanged for over 250 million years. Nature finally invented the perfect king of the sea. This animal has given the sea it’s “living” adjective; in turn, it was entitled—the “great white shark.” The Great White Shark derived

Since ancient times there has always been a debate in the field of philosophy of whether individuals continue to live after death. Although many religions believe in the concept of “immortality”. I believe that immortality could exist, because of cloning, cryonics, and Calorie Restriction. For hundreds of years people have been attempting to preserve and prolong life, and essentially become immortal. There are many new technologies in this time of scientific exploration and advancement that claim

at times, and shooting high pressure water loaded with chemicals to extract gases that serve as energy. The U.S. has been fracking for about 65 years and there is enough gas in U.S. soil to last many decades to come but there are many setbacks. Fracking consumes a lot of water with many chemicals and can’t be used again for purposes other than fracking, reducing the water supply. Companies originally extracted gas in a vertical position, but many are switching to lateral fracking; the latter of which

carnival (Poe 763). As Fortunato and Montresor descend into the crypt, they must rely on the light from the fire of two torches. The reliance upon this natural light source symbolizes how the two men are connected to nature and surrounded by the earth, yet this earth is unwelcoming and isolating. The walls are “insufferably damp… [and] encrusted with nitre” which threatens to worsen the severe cold which Fortunato is suffering from (764). Even more unwelcoming is the other part of nature that surrounds

The senses are hearing, smell, lateral line, pit organs, vision, Lorenzini, touch, and taste. Sharks have many senses that us humans do such as taste and smell, but it has special three senses that we do not have. The lateral line, pit organs and Lorenzini are the three senses that have been discovered in the last 10 - 20 years, and play an important role in how the shark behaves

TASK 2 – Report writing On Tuesday 22nd February 2011 at 12.51pm, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch which killed 185 people and injured several thousand. The earthquake epicentre was near Lyttelton, just 10 kilometres south-east of Christchurch’s central business district. The earthquake occurred more than five months after the 4 September 2010 earthquake, but is considered to be an aftershock of the earlier quake. At 5.09 p.m. on Sunday 21 July 2013 a magnitude 6.5 earthquake rocked
