Appalachian
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1096.... National Park. In late Precambrian time this super continent began to rift apart under the tensional forces producing the Catoctin rift basalts that can be observed in the Shenandoah. As they rifted apart, they created a growing ocean called the proto-Atlantic or Iapetus after the father of Atlas, for whom the Atlantic Ocean is named. Towards the end of the Precambrian, the tensional forces changed to compression and subduction began. Volcanic islands grew as a result of andesitic volcanism associated with the subduction.
With continued subduction and convergence, vo .....

Copper And Aluminium
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 868.... harmful insects. Copper can also be used to help protect other materials against corrosion, and in small amounts is vital to all plant and animal life.
The properties that make copper extremely useful include -
Conductivity - Silver is the only better conductor, but is too expensive for common use. Copper also conducts both electricity and heat extremely well, which makes it extremely useful for cooking utensils, radiators, and refrigerators.
Malleability - Copper is highly malleable. It does not crack when hammered, stamped, or forged, and can be worked when it is both hot .....

Even though freezing sperm doesn't seem to affect a pregnancy, it reduces the sperm's movement and influences the success rate of . About 75 to 85 percent of women inseminated with fresh donor semen will get pregnant--especially if the procedure is repeated over several months. Unfortunately, freezing the sperm decreases the chances of success by 10 to 15 percent.
Today's reproductive technology is not limited to helping create human families. .....

Air Pollution
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 512.... this
period of time. The increased use of fossil fuels today also builds on this.
There have been many attempts at stopping air pollution. The Clean Air
Acts were effective for a little while. They made using some polluting
substances illegal. This did not work because people simply did not listen.
Solar Energy is another attempted solution. This type of energy is good
because it is an alternative energy source to coal and other polluting fossil
fuels. The problem with solar energy is that it is extremely expensive, but it
has been used extensively throughout the wo .....

intense heat. I am fed and drunk by those who go through hunger. As acid
contained in the human body, I digest food and clean out wastes. I am a

trickling slowly down a child's face when the thought of going to school all
alone crosses his mind. I am te pure exhilaration every time two people fall in
love. I am rubbed ro .....

Atomic Bombs
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1302.... at such sites as Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Los Alamos, New Mexico (The World Book Encyclopedia 141). Here they designed to bombs that were later called “The Fat Man” and “The Little Boy”. There was later a movie named after the two bombs that showed how they were made and the
experiences that came with making them. A worker was killed during the final stages of the Manhattan Project when a critical assembly of fissile material was accidentally brought together by hand. This incident, which was dramatized in “Fat Man and Little Boy”, pre-dated remote-control assembly .....

The Origin Of Humanity
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 370.... a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils. Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline. The time periods show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to be the human evolving. Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states that creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called environmental adaptation. The more a creature can adapt to it's environment the greater chance it has of living and show an increase in population called survival of the fittest.
A theory developed by a scientis .....
