Mauna Kea

You might be able to call me “nerd” because just by looking at my transcripts, it seems believable, but there's more to me under the surface. When I was just 12 years old, I participated in the Scripps Spelling Bee Competition. At the time, it was one of the most exciting things that could happen, I’ve never really competed in anything before. I won our school level competition, then I moved on and conquered our island level event. I studied our list of words and the dictionary daily, pushing through

certain climates but the generic feral kind are everywhere. From deserted beaches to busy towns and even freezing mountains 12,000 ft above sea level, feral goats have adapted to any climate available on the island. Large herds reside at the base of Mauna Kea which peaks at over 13,000 ft above sea level, and other large herds can be found in nearly the opposite environment at ~1,000 ft above sea level and completely dry, only containing dead grass within the otherwise barren lava

The most difficult question every teenager gets asked is, “What do you plan on doing after High School?”I always said, “ I want to see the world! I want to be successful in whatever career I choose.” When I contemplate why I say this, I come to realize that I live for the challenges in life. I live to experience the entire world and to leave a legacy behind. A legacy that would be remembered for generations. When I was a young child, I heard of the US Navy and the Naval Academy from all the intriguing

astronomical community. The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is being worked on to become the most advance and powerful optical telescope on Earth by a team of scientists, engineers and specialists. After long controversy, its planned location will be in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The TMT is a reflecting telescope because it uses a mirrors over lenses. “TMT, with its 30-meter (nearly 100 foot) diameter mirror, will have nine times the light gathering power of today’s best telescopes (Gateway, 2010). TMT’s smaller

landed in Kau’i. Every time she would thrust her digging stick into earth to dig a pit for her home, Na-maka-o-kaha’I, the goddess of water and the sea, would flood it. Pele went from island to island until she finally made it to the Big Island’s Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is considered the tallest mountain on earth when measured from its base at the bottom of the ocean. Even the goddess of water couldn’t flood it and drown Pele’s fire. Pele established her home on its slopes there. She then welcomed her brothers

Yellowstone in Wyoming is a large, rocky grassland formed by an eruption. Surprisingly, Hawaii has mountains just like Wyoming. The Grand Teton mountains are stunning to look at and have snow on top of each peak. Hawaii has one main mountain called Mauna Kea which has snow on top of it even in warm climate. The activities and food are the same in Hawaii and Wyoming. In Hawaii, my family went to a luau which was like a cookout. Here, they served roasted pig in the ground, sides, and fruit. The food is

Our nation is supposed to symbolize freedom, happiness and social equality . However, manny still fall victim to the social injustice brought upon our society. The novel, “To Kill A Mockingbird”. Portrays these social injustices despite being published many years ago. People in the U.S get mistreated contently because of racism. One of these acts are, the protest control. Not only african americans but people of various races are being punished , arrested and even kill because of there protesting

Human activity that impacts climate change is the main argument in the debate regarding the reality of climate change. A consensus agreed upon many scientists is that Earth’s climate is changing tremendously and humans are to blame for the change. The scientific evidence supporting these claims has grown and become reinforced in the past fifty years due to the arrival of computer models, ice core samples, and years of research to the causation of climate change (Rich and Warhol 2). “According

Throughout this chapter the following are adopted. In all images north is up and east is left. The adopted cosmology includes ΩM = 0.27, ΩΛ = 0.73, and H0 = 67.8 km s−1 , and a redshift z = 0.003927, corrected to the reference frame of the 3K CMB17 . The suggested distance modulus for NGC3718 is μ = 31.2, reflecting a distance D = 17.4 Mpc, which leads 17 http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/objsearch?search_type=Obj_id&objid=26880& objname=1&img_stamp=YES&hconst=67.8&omegam=0.27&omegav=0.73&corr_z=1

According to the theory of plate tectonics there is constant motion in the lithosphere which causes the many plates lying upon it to move relatively to one another due to convection currents. There are 3 boundaries where volcanic and seismic events, but not limited to, occur. The constructive plate boundary is where 2 plates, such as the North American plate and the Eurasian plate move apart causing sea-floor spreading and volcanic activity – when the less dense basaltic lava from the asthenosphere
