Chlorofluorocarbons Cfcs Ozone Depleting
1,295 wordsThe ozone layer is one of the oldest things on the planet, older than any of the ancient creatures we see in our museums today. The ozone layer has provided protection for the living components under it for millions of years, and without the ozone layer, we most likely would not be here today. Our evolution would have been cut off millions of years ago without our planets ability to provide protection from the ever-harmful rays from our sun. Each year since the late 1970 s much of the protective...

Plate Tectonics Paradigm Shift
1,310 wordsWhen Albert Einstein proposed his Theory of Relativity it was not accepted immediately but eventually over time and after some debate it became a replacement for the idea of physical mechanics formulated by Isaac Newton to explain the motion of large bodies in the presence of gravity. Relativity did not totally discredit Newtonian Mechanics but it did raise new questions and could prove certain things that Newton could not. There were questions, critics, and proponents of the new idea but it cam...
