sorrow of mankind. For it was on this day that the great and loving creator, with a wonderful purpose in mind, drew near this blacked-out planet, this dark little speck in space, and said. “Let there be light.” Great Preparations As the light of earths first day fades into night, something strange and wonderful begins to happen. Silently, mysteriously, the heavy, moisture-laden mist that has held close to the ocean begins to rise. All night and all the next morning it goes up, up, up until it becomes

1 3. How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts, huge volcanic eruptions, or great earthquakes? The principle of uniformitarianism states the processes occurring on Earth today are very similar in manner as those throughout much of geologic times. In other words “the present is the key to the past.”(Murck, B. W., Skinner, B. J., & Mackenzie, D. (2010)). When looking at past geological events and occurrences that

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
