Telescope Eagerly Awaiting Madison Fuhhr Intension Stars
1,783 wordsIf someone would have taken me outside and told me to look at the night sky and tell them what I was thinking, two weeks ago I would have probably said some idiotic remark like, "Cool. " If they asked me what I thought about space, I probably would have coldly answered, "I could care less. " I thought that all that space was made of was a huge overabundance of white dots filling the pitch-black sky. The only thing I really liked was the moon because it was the closest thing I could see in space....

Foelix) These invertebrates of the order Area are one of the several groups of the Class Arachnida, with about thirty four thousand species. They range in body size from only a few millimeters in length to almost five inches. All are carnivorous and have four pair of walking legs, one pair of pedipalps, and one pair of chelicera e.

Engineering And Designing Bending Torsion Design
483 wordsI would like to work in the field of automotive engineering and designing. This career is basically taking an automobile idea and formatting it on to paper or computer programs. After this, a person would figure out all the stress factors, weight, torsion, and make sure this design on paper will work structurally. This career has my interest because I like to draw cars that would be more efficient, more powerful, and more durable than the average car driven today. I think my natural talent and i...

Storm Surge Tropical Storms
1,424 wordsWhat is a hurricane? Hurricanes are part of a family of weather systems known as "tropical cyclones. " The word hurricane is from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind. " A hurricane begins its life as a disorganized storm system, which forms over warm, tropical waters in the Atlantic. When the storm system become more organized, it is classified as a "tropical depression, " and given a number by the National Hurricane Center. If the winds in a tropical depression grow in intensity t...

People Were Killed Early Morning
1,040 wordsA tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm cloud to the earths surface. They are sometimes nicknamed twisters because of their shape and because of what they do. The winds in the tornadoes are usually 100 mph or less. In +F 4 's they can exceed 250 mph. They usually stay on a track of a few miles or less and are less than 100 yds. wide. For the development of tornadoes there are a few conditions required. An abundant low-level of moisture and unstable atmosp...

Earthquake Loads Resistant Design Of Buildings
2,074 words... Spectra are developed by calculating the of response a single mass oscillator (usually with 5 % critical damping present) to the design level earthquake motion. Engineers traditionally have shown a preference for acceleration spectra, since the resulting coefficient, when multiplied by the seismic mass, results in the lateral base shear for the building. In Australia [ 7 ] and the Uniformed Building Code used in the western USA [ 9 ] these spectra are presented as a simple uniform coefficien...

(Note: The overall building deformation checks usually control boundary edge clearance requirements to avert blocks pounding each other. The inter-storey drift limits control the onset of non-structural ...

Earthquake Loads Resistant Design Of Buildings
2,097 words... se dynamic response may also introduce twisting and torsional effects into the response, either directly as a function of the input ground motion, or because of variations in the spatial distribution of seismic mass, or because of the structure being irregular in plan. Measures employed to counter these effects typically involve distributing the lateral load resisting systems about the building plan and attempting to limit the plan profile to being reasonably regular and compact. Most modern...

Rocket Boosters External Tank
2,988 wordsThe Tragic Challenger Explosion The Tragic Challenger Explosion Space Travel. It is a sense of national pride for many Americans. If you ask anyone who was alive at the time, they could probably tell you exactly where they were when they heard that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon. But all of the success in our space programs is overshadowed by tragedy. On January 28, 1986, one of the worst disasters in our space programs history occurred. Many people were watching at the ...

These changes are to slow for one person to see in his or her lifetime. Forces cause different things to happen on the surface of the earth. Such as mountains growing and eroding.

San Andreas Fault Surface Of The Earth
2,606 wordsGeology is the study of the earths landmasses. The earth is constantly changing. Often changes are to slow to be able to see them in a human lifetime. Forces cause different things to happen on the surface of the earth (Such as Mountains growing and eroding). Scientists believe that the earth was formed by very dense elements such as iron and nickel which are in the core of the earth. The earths crust covers the mantle. The crust is made up of over two thousand different compounds called mineral...

1,507 wordsThe Enlightenment Torn Apart Based on Rousseau's criticism of Enlightenment ideas, the French Revolution did and did not implement the ways of the Enlightenment. Rousseau sees a number of problems within the thinking of the Enlightenment, preferably when dealing with the arts and sciences. It is for this reason alone that the French Revolution in actuality did not implement the ideas of the Enlightenment. In fact, all of the actions that took place in the French Revolution totally came into agre...
