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

The Search for Inhabitable exoplanets Throughout the history of humanity, numerous scientists have been intrigued by the search for inhabitable exoplanets. To date, such ventures are still in the developmental stages and the discovery of life beyond earth and the solar system , regardless of how primitive it may be, may soon be regarded as a fundamental breakthrough in astronomy (Jones & Mukai, 2007). The fundamental properties to be considered if a place is habitable are: presence of organic materials

Someday, somehow, Clarke knew that she would witness the beauty of Earth. She would be able to feel the sun warm her skin, and have the wind kiss her cheeks as she walked through a forest. Maybe she would watch a rabbit hop out of a bush, or follow butterflies as she wandered carelessly around the ground—if those creatures were still alive from all the radiation. Her father had always told her stories about Earth, visualizing it as a heaven for the living. It had been nearly ninety-seven years

CLIMATE CHANGE SHOULD BE A POLITICAL AND NOT A SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM Climate change should be a political and not a scientific problem Mariel Falcon Miami Dade College SPC1017 Fundamentals of Speech Fall Term/ TR 5:40-6:55pm Instructor: Kenia Brown CLIMATE CHANGE SHOULD BE A POLITICAL AND NOT A SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM Introduction Global warming has become one of the most important scientific, political and economic issues. According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

has a way greater effect than just temperature changes. The greenhouse effect is the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth; it is often referred to as the greenhouse effect because a greenhouse works in much the same way (LiveScience 1). The greenhouse effect , many laws due to physics, and consequences that effect the Earth are related to and caused by to global warming. Without the greenhouse effect we could not have weather; without green house gases the atmosphere

The Transforming Vision, written by Brian Walsh and Richard Middleton, yearn for a change in the way Christianity is viewed. According to the authors, science, technology and economic growth is what shapes our society, while Christianity stands in the sidelines. The authors aspire to see a change in Christianity where it “may receive social and cultural embodiment.” In the first chapters, Walsh and Middleton explore the reason behind why Christianity of North Americans is so disembodied compared

There is a legend called “ The Land of the Dead of the Nisqually” collected by Cecelia Svinth Carpenter and has been put in her book “Where the Waters Begin: The Traditional Nisqually Indian History of Mount Rainier”: “The Squally-absch believed the world to be flat, and beneath its surface is the home of the dead, ‘Otlas-skio.’ Constant communication was maintained between this and the underground world by the spirits of the dead, as well as by the shamans or ‘medicine man,’ The country of Otlas-skio

The Effects of Greenhouse Gasses Global Warming has been devastating the earth and economy for the last twenty-five years. Greenhouse gasses developed from the production of chemicals such as R-22, oil, and factories have destroyed ozone and ecosystems for the last hundred years. Carbon dioxide is produced naturally and absorbed by plants and animals, but, too much, and it is deadly. With the increase in automobiles and production, the world government has begun to address the issue of greenhouse
