Planetary Comparison SCI/151 May 3, 2011 Norman Stradleigh Planetary Comparison Planet Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest of the planets of the Solar System. Earth’s surface is 71 percent water and is the only astronomical planet currently known where life exists. Earth is our home planet. Scientist and astronomers have studied our planet for Centuries and they have discovered much about our planet. Scientist have gained so much more

Was it creation or evolution? That is the question that is more popular today than ever. There are many different theories to the creation of the earth and the development of man. The big question is which one was actually true. Scientists will tell you evolution is how man was created. Creationists or Christians will tell you that creation was how man was created. Which group of people is right? There is a bill in Texas State Congress over a new proposed set of guidelines for teaching biology in

global warming from increasing temperatures because over the past century, the burning of fossil fuels and other human and natural activities has released enormous amounts of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. These emissions have caused the Earth 's surface temperature to rise, and the oceans absorb about 80 percent of this additional heat making the oceans hotter. You should stop global warming from increasing temperatures because droughts in the Southwest and heat waves everywhere are projected

introduced to the implications our world faces if these problems are not solved and additionally steps to solving these issues. Thus, both men and women need to take action to help or pay the consequences and protect the only world we have, planet Earth. Dr. Adrian Forsyth’s essay “No New Worlds” features the

Global Warming and the Planet Earth: We Broke It and We Can Help Fix It! Global warming is a problem, caused in large part by human activity, and as it stands, poses a monumental threat to the planet and all of its occupants; while mega polluters do not have an incentive to stop greenhouse gas production, we can, as individuals work towards the solution, greenhouse gas reduction, by improving our awareness and implementing the day to day measures necessary in achieving this goal. The purpose of

been more easily studied; however throughout the IPCC assessments clouds have contributed the largest uncertainty to understanding the global energy budget (Boucher et al, 2013). Volcanoes have existed on planet Earth since the beginning of time. It is likely that over the lifespan of the Earth that there were hundreds of thousands eruptions. There are scientists who theorize that volcanic eruptions could have been the cause for the extinction of dinosaurs millions of years

Introduction One of the most devastating weather extremes happened 250 million years ago. A massive volcanic eruption (that occurred in an area now known as Siberia) caused increase in carbon dioxide and methane levels resulting in the extreme global warming. Today, the remains of this volcanic activity are called Siberian traps. The origin of Siberian traps is considered to be a mantle plume that burst through Earth’s crust releasing large volumes of basalt lava. Radiometric dating showed this

of what the northern lights are. Dancing colorful lights in the sky that appear mostly in the top of bottom hemisphere of the earth, however very few people truly know what the aurora borealis are or even less, how they are formed. Every now and then, on the surface of the sun, a solar flare is conceived as a result of which electrons and protons are blown towards earth by something called “solar winds”. These solar protons and electrons are results of a form of solar activity know as a coronal

Climate Change is a Serious Problem to the Planet “Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think it is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.” This quote from Bill Nye illustrates the serious nature of climate change. Climate change is the most serious issue that is plaguing the world. Global temperatures have been increasing in recent years and it is clear that our climate is changing. Climate change is the change of temperature and weather in our environment

David Tillotson October 10, 2015 ESS 102 Synopsis of Sci-Fi Paper: In the year 2045, a space mission to Mars is underway in the search to find another planet for the ever-growing population of the human race on earth. Eight astronauts aboard an Apollo Saturn rocket are headed on a trip to Mars, our nearest potentially habitable planet, in an effort to develop a human colony on a separate planet. The main goal of the mission is to determine if the basic needs for human life can
