Scorched earth

all over the world are discovering many areas throughout the planet that are increasing in temperature, and animals’ homes are being destroyed. The writer is able to create a better understanding on the dangers of a warming planet, by saying the earth is increasing in temperature all over the world, not only affecting different animals,

assisting in the birth of mankind. “Then the earth was created by them. So it was, in truth, that they created the earth. Earth! ...they said, and instantly it was made.” (From the Popol Vuh pg.14) This presumption of creation came from the Mayans. They believed the forefathers the Creator, the Maker, Tepeu, and Gucumatz whom were immortal, created the animals and the first man. They thought that there was only a sky and a sea before the earth came about. “There was nothing standing; only the

A Tale of Alien Technology The year is 2058, Earth is peaceful, history is forever changed, for no wars have been fought, and no arms have been yielded. World peace wasn’t an impossibility. But one solar afternoon, a giant metal chunk of metal, glowing green, beaming pure energy, bursts into the atmosphere. It it loud. It broke many sound barriers, and it caused a huge explosion. Scientists exhibit the crashed spacecraft, and find metal databases encrypted with an unknown language. Not too long

rays. Helios is the father of Circe and Phaëthon. Helios had to rub ointment on himself to protect his body from burning from the heat. "While Helios is away on his normal business, Zeus and the other gods drew lots to divide the earth. Helios did not get any of the earth so he claimed the Island of Rhodes.(Tripp 268)" Phaëthon is a mortal son to Helios, while Circe is not. Phaëthon loved his father's work and always wanted to steer the chariot, but his father never agreed. Finally, Helios gave in

The age of the planet Earth is estimated to be about four point six billion years old. Life on Earth is estimated to have started one billion years later. Evolution has taken place since then. Evolving life from simple forms into more complex forms through the course of time. It all began with single celled organisms, prokaryotes. Later evolving in a period of two hundred million years, cyanobacteria began to produce photosynthesis. And life went on, evolving, adapting to its home. However through

I just recently viewed the docu-drama “Dragon’s World: A Fantasy Made Real.” It is an interesting movie about a scientist named Dr. Tanner studying a cave with scorched human corpses and the body of a massive baby dragon to either prove it a hoax or to prove that dragons are real. He is very set on the idea that dragons are real, and had a broken reputation anyways. Based upon the facts and reasonings coming from this movie, I believe that dragons were real and present on this planet at some point

advanced than anything else in the history of the earth. We started out on land. We built cars and trains. But we were limited to just the land. Then we took over the sea. We created boats and massive ships of steel. There was one more place to control. The air. We created vehicles that could take us higher than anybody could have possibly imagined. But we can’t stop there. In approximately five-billion years the sun will expand, engulfing the Earth, ending all life. About four-billion years before

to Have Discovered the Next Earth Scientists have discovered a new planet that they believe may be capable of housing life. LHS 1140 b, the planet in question, is six times heavier than Earth, yet only 1.5 times as large, suggesting that it is an extremely dense ball of metal and rock. LHS 1140 b is ten times closer to its sun than Earth, as well, making the orbit only 25 days. The sun LHS 1140 b orbits, LHS 1140, is an old, dim red dwarf star, 40 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cetus

A dull neon sign is all that stands to greet its travelers. The drone of cicadas is a narcotic; welcoming and familiar like scorched oil from a motor ran too long. Alone and cold I muster the last fifty-two pounds of my life on to a back too broken for its own physical age. Far enough away from home to fuel anxiety yet not far enough to break state lines. Inside the ring of a pitted copper bell drags a woman to the front desk. She invited me by name as if I was her only tenant in days. Eger to rest

Well I think.” Demitrius says, while placing his index finger on to his chin The Earth started to rumble again and the wind had died down a little bit. “What 's happening, Demitrius, tell us.” Lucinda said while she was walking towards him. He was leaned up against Thoma 's car. “Priest, told me that before humans had in habited the Earth, there was evil and ruthless creature sealed within it 's core. He was an evil space demon. But that was all he
