Hurricanes form over the ocean. Easterly waves, what hurricanes develop from, are long, narrow regions of low pressure which occur in ocean winds called trade winds. At first, these easterly waves can grow into something called, a tropical depression. A tropical depression occurs when winds are up to 31 mph. Then tropical depressions can be upgraded into a tropical storm if the winds reach speeds of 74 mph or less. Then finall .....

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 infected with HIV it will begin to attack your CD4+cells, commonly known a .....

grief and even embarrassment to describe the behavior of these large,
social birds.
At the same time he did not forget that all romance - animal and human -
is tied intimately to natural selection. Natural selection brought on the
evolution of males and females during prehistoric epochs when
environmental change was making life difficult for single-sex species such
as bacteria and algae. Generally, these reproduced by splitting into
identical copies of themselves. New generations were thus no better than
old ones at surviving in an altered world. With the emergence of the .....

Fusion Energy
Words: 865 - Pages: 4.... repel each other at a great force.
The only way to create the conditions where the it is possible to force
these atoms together and override their repulsion is through enormous heat,
this method is called thermonuclear.
Even though fusion reasearch still needs a lot of time, there has been
some progress in discovering how we can use this. The two fusion reactions
that are the most promising both involve the heavier isotopes of hydrogen:
1) deuterium (composed of one proton and one neutron) Deuterium occurs
naturally as a minor constituent in all hydrogen-containing materials--such
as water--in quantities sufficient to me .....

Little Green Men Or Just Little Microscopic Organisms?
Words: 603 - Pages: 3.... much means that there once
was a warmer climate and maybe even lakes or oceans. Life on Mars is now a real
idea.
The climate of Mars about 3.8 billion years ago was much similar to the
young Earth. Microbes and bacteria probably sprouted everywhere in the warm and
wet climate. Although now we only see a cold red planet, which was probably due
to a collision of an astroid that would have set back the evolution process of
Mars, causing it to be a harsh planet. A Viking spacecraft which landed on Mars
in 1976 found that the planet was bathed in ultraviolet radiation, "intense
enough so it would probably fry any microbe we know on thi .....

These plagues included blood, frogs, vermin, flies, murrain, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the slaying of the first born. Even though this type of warfare may have had origins as early as Exodus, the methods of making these germs is described in scientific literature and is no secret to terrorists.
This germ warfare is an especially serious threat for several different reasons. The first reason is the ability of these germ agents to be undetectable to spy technology. Secondly, the warfare labs that are used to produce these germs are difficult to det .....

The History Of White-Tailed Deer In Kentucky
Words: 606 - Pages: 3.... Most fawns are born in June,
following a seven month gestation period. Newborn fawns will weigh about four
pounds at birth.
Deer offspring are cared for and may remain with the mother until the
next spring. Fawns retain their spots until mid September and nurse until mid
October. About 40 percent of female fawns breed during their first autumn, but
usually bear only one fawn. Does breeding at age 1 1/2 or older generally have
twins, and sometimes triplets. By November, Kentucky's deer population typical
increases slightly more than one fawn per doe. Although many more fawns are
born than one per doe, some will die before the hunt .....
