Triceratops Hottidus: “Horrible Three-horned Face”
Words: 436 - Pages: 2.... in the late Cretaceous period, about 72 to 65
million years ago, toward the end of the Mesozoic, The Age of Reptiles . It
was among the last of the dinosaur species evolve before the Cretaceous-
Tertiary extinction 65 million years ago.
BEHAVIOR:
Triceratops was probably a herding animal, like the other
Cartesians. This hypothesis is supported by the fining of bone beds, large
deposits of bones of the same species in am area.
Triceratops hatched from eggs, which may have been cared for by
adults.
Which threatened by predators, Triceratops probably changed into
its enemy, like the modern-day rhinoceros does. This was probably a very .....

Black Powder

Despite the fact that is called under one name, there are many different forms of . These are merely classified as how strong their reactions are, in other words, the size and power of their reactions. The most typical form of is the mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. Another form of this powder is known as the brown form, this is a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. These pieces tend to look like little hexagonal or octagonal milk chocolate pieces. However these can be modified in a way to form a more harsh expl .....

The Beginning Of Time
Words: 1333 - Pages: 5.... second is the Steady State Theory. (Weinberg,
1977)
The later hypothesis was created to replace the common belief that the
universe was completely static. The expansion of the universe was discovered in
1929 when Edwin Hubble discovered that every galaxy in the universe was moving
away from each other, this meant that the universe was expanding. Hubble found
the movement of the galaxies by using a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect.
This effect caused bodies moving away from an observer to have a "red-shifted"
spectrum (the light spectrum of the body had been shifted closer to red) and
bodies moving towards an observer to be "blue-shi .....

Docking With Mir

In less than thirty-six hours, they would have to close a gap of four thousand
miles at an altitude of 245 miles while traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, only
to have to move within three inches and two degrees of a quickly moving, very
fragile object in space. One small thrust of a poorly aligned engine could cost
one of four space-worthy shuttles and the world's first and only long-term space
station.
Docking was over with soon, and was followed by the cosmonauts of Mir
greeting the astronauts of Atlantis. Gifts of flowers, candy and fruit were
given by the Americans, who in return, following a Russian tradit .....

NO DEFENCE
Areas in Ontario mainly southern regions that are near the Great Lakes, such
substances as limestone or other known antacids can neutralize acids entering
the body of water thereby protecting it. However, large areas of Ontario that
are near the Pre©Cambrian Shield, with quartzite or granite based geology and
little top soil, there is not enough buffering capacity to neutralize eve .....

Meta Physics
Words: 1495 - Pages: 6.... the "that" of anything and not the "why;" for example; We all know "that" fire is hot but do we know "why." We also know "that" water is wet but "why" is it wet. These were questions that nobody obtained the answers to but Aristotle was determined to know, and having this type of knowledge would truly earn the title of PAGE 1 Wisdom. Now finding the knowledge and answers would be very difficult but Aristotle believed what better way to obtain this then through the use of science. He knew that everything in science deals with learning using more than just senses. There are always deeper meanings and definitions when pertaining to science. In .....

Headaches Their Causes And Effects
Words: 633 - Pages: 3.... become less frequent with increasing age and are relatively uncommon after the age of 50. After interviewing my grandmother, who is a special case Migraine sufferer, she told me that her Migraines began when she was seven. Often in school she would have the classic migraine symptoms- she would see only half of her teacher and bright lights and flashes up to 20 minutes before her Migraine began. These symptoms are called auras and once they are gone the Migraine begins. The Migraine itself can lead to vomiting, slurred speech, makes the sufferer sensitive to light and worsens when there is a lot of noise.
The mechanism is not complete .....

Alternative Medicine

blood of the insurance industry. By not providing coverage for
the billion dollar industry of alternative treatments, insurance
companies are keeping the cost of the premiums down but at the
same time not allowing their customers to use complementary
treatments such as chiropractic to prevent or cure illness. The
more rigid and restrictive the policy provisos, the more
assurance for the companies that they will maximize their bottom
lines. Therefore, patients of alternative therapies as well as
doctors must show that such unconventional treatment provides
relief and prevention of illness. “The total projected out-of-

Uranium

Chapter 2
Mining
When uranium is extracted, pitchblende is broken up and mixed with
sulfuric and nitric acids. It then dissolves into uranyl sulfate. With the
addition of sodium hydroxide, uranium is precipitated as sodium diuranate
which is known as the yellow oxide of uranium. To get uranium from
carnotite, the ore must be finely ground and treated with a hot solution of
caustic and potash to dissolve out the uranium, radium, and vanadium. And
after the sandy matrix is washed away, the solution is treated with
sulfuric acid and barium chloride. A caustic alkali solution is then added
to the remaining clear .....

Observed Distribution Of South American Relief Features
Words: 855 - Pages: 4.... is caused by non-uniform temperature in a fluid and density differences. This continuous convection is the cause of plate movement. Each complete cycle, called a convection cell, drives the plate in the direction of the cell. How does a ‘solid’ mantle move? The mantle may be solid but, as with most solids, it will deform if long-term stress is applied. Presently, there are more than fourteen plates in the Earth’s crust. Upwelling hot magma flows out from mid-ocean ridges and then cools down when exposed to the cooled environment outside; the layer of cooled magma forms the lithosphere. When magma flows out from the ridges, the .....
