Deep Ocean Trenches
Words: 926 - Pages: 4.... of brown or red clay, which are signs of organic remains, volcanic ash and lapilli, and coarse, graded layers are found in the trench. Large amounts of remains cannot build up because they either are dragged into the Earth's interior or are distorted into folded masses and molded into new material of the continents.
Deep trench in the sea bed indicating the presence of a destructive margin (produced by the movements of plate tectonics). The dragging downwards of one plate of the lithosphere beneath another means that the ocean floor is pulled down. Ocean trenches are found around the edge of the Pacific Ocean and the northeastern .....

Aids 2
Words: 744 - Pages: 3.... viruses, but HIV well eventually turn into AIDS. About half the people with HIV develop AIDS within 10 years, but between infection with HIV, the onset for AIDS can vary greatly. The severity of the HIV related illness or illnesses will differ from person to person, according many factors but mostly to the overall health of the individual. The new advances in technology are helping postpone the advancement of the disease.
Lets start at the beginning. First, lets learn what AIDS is. AIDS is an acquired defect in your immune system. The passing of any bodily fluids could technically be used as a passage way for the virus. Once infe .....

Dangers And Destructions Of Floods And Hurricanes
Words: 1359 - Pages: 5.... be caused by a number of
things. Coastal floods can be caused by runoff, hurricane waves, tsunami
(seismic sea waves), and hurricane rains. Coastal flooding can not only take
part on oceans but it can also take part on lakes. Coastal flooding can be a
great danger because coast lines are very densely populated areas. In the United
States in the early 1990's 50% of the population was on a coastal county.1
Although they shrink before reaching shore, wind generated waves have been
spotted to be as high as 30 m (100 ft) in the middle of the ocean.2 In 1970 a
major storm in the Bay of Bengal produced heavy seas that flooded regions of
East Paki .....

Static Electricity
Words: 1062 - Pages: 4.... same kind repel each other, and those of different
kinds attract each other. This later was named the law of electrical
charges, and is essential to the understanding of electricity. A third idea
was that if the distance between electric charges is increased, the force
of attraction or repulsion decreases.
All matter is made up of very tiny particles called atoms. Atoms
are made up of even smaller substances called subatomic particles.
Scientific studies have found that some of these subatomic particles are
charged with electricity. The electric charges are made up of two kinds -
positive and negative. The positively charged particles are .....

God Guided Evolution
Words: 1329 - Pages: 5.... can be made that would help one form his own opinion on the matter. One might go so far to say as science and the Bible are God’s most basic forms of communication with the human; thus scientific deduction of the Bible should allow us to solve the mystery of man’s and the universe’s origins.
A very highly debated topic within the bigger argument is, “What started it all?” Creationists believe that God merely spoke all that we know into existence, but evolutionists prefer to believe a massive, random explosion spawned the cosmos. Obviously, a middle-grounder could find both preposterous. The very first line of the Holy B .....

Stephen J. Hawking By Rachel Finck
Words: 1564 - Pages: 6.... is carried on with the help of colleagues,
friends, and his wife. Of his illness, Hawking has said that it has enhanced
his career by giving him the freedom to think about physics and the Universe.
Stephen Hawking has written many essays involving the unified theory,
which is a theory summarizing the entire of the physical world; a theory that
would stand as a complete, consistent theory of the physical interactions that
would describe all possible observations. Our attempts at modeling physical
reality normally consists of two parts: a) A set of local laws that are obeyed
by the various physical quantities, formulated in terms of diffe .....

Effect On Pot

by other work. This section will address each of these reported negative side-effects. Various studies have claimed that cannabis destroys
brain cells. However, several other studies found no structural or neurochemical atrophy in the brain at all. Furthermore, it should be
noted that Heath's work was sharply criticized for avoiding safeguards of bias and reporting "changes" that occur normally in the
mammalian brain. Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males. This is misleading because a
decrease in sperm count has not been shown to have a negative ef .....

Muscles In The Human Body
Words: 859 - Pages: 4.... of muscle that is attached to bones and moves the skeleton in a conscious control, so therefore it is a voluntary muscle. Its contractions are short and strong, providing the force needed for movement. The muscle contractions produce and provide some heat needed in the body.
Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of smaller fibers called myofibrils. These myofibrils are composed of even smaller protein filaments. These filaments can be either thick or thin. The thick filaments are made of the protein myosin, and the thin filaments are made of the protein actin. The arrangement of the myosin and actin gives skeletal muscle its striated (or str .....

Nuclear Power: Worth The Risks?
Words: 2297 - Pages: 9.... scientists who created the weapons were out of jobs. They then turned this destructive power into huge plants generating"clean and cheap"electricity for the country. It was called progress. Progress also brought with it sickness, mutations, cancer and eventually death to those exposed to high levels of radiation. Government declared that nuclear power is safe and efficient. Also have big Oil corporations who have a lot of money invested in nuclear power and want to see as many plants as possible put into and kept in operation. The truth is that accidents do happen at nuclear power plants and at other facilities all the time. An accident .....

Chlamydial Infection

Two of every three infected women and one or two of every four infected men have no symptoms whatsoever. As a result, often the disease may not be diagnosed and treated until complications develop.
Doctors estimate that, in women, one third of the s result in PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease). Often these infections are not diagnosed until PID or other complications develop. In men, rarely, s may lead to pain or swelling in the scrotal area, which is a sign of epididymitis, an inflammation of a part of the male rep .....
