Inch Every 18 Miles Idea Of God
3,076 wordsEither God exists or He doesn't. There is no middle ground. Any attempt to remain neutral in relation to God's existence is automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a "moot" question, for if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing really matters at all. If He does exist, then there is an eternal heaven to be gained (Hebrews 11: 16) and an eternal Hell to be avoided (Revelation 21: 8). The question for God's existence is an extremely impo...

Hawaiian Islands Four Million
731 wordsCausing $ 1 - 2 billion in damages and more than 25 deaths per year, landslides are a major geologic hazard, caused by earthquakes and floods. Although, landslides are generally not as exciting or costly as earthquakes, major floods, tropical storms, and other natural disasters, they occur in more expanded places and may cause more property damage than any other geologic hazards. A wide variety of ground movements, such as rock falls, slope failure, and shallow debris flows can classify landslid...

Plate Tectonics Ocean Basins
530 wordsPlate Tectonics is theory of global tectonics (geologic structural deformations) that has served as a master key in modern geology for understanding the structure, history, and dynamics of the earths crust. The theory is based on the observation that the earths solid crust is broken up into about a dozen semirigid plates. The boundaries of these plates are zones of tectonic activity, where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tend to occur. Plate Tectonics also are the cause of major features that...

Force Of Gravity White Dwarf
2,676 wordsAlthough they are tiny in size, white dwarfs have played a great role in astronomy. These compact stars are very different from familiar objects like our sun. They also pose a seemingly endless series of puzzles, whose solutions provide new insights into many areas of physics and astronomy. To unravel a wide variety of phenomena such as cataclysmic variables (novae, dwarf novae), planetary nebulae, and some types of supernova, we have to understand white dwarfs. These stars may even hold clues t...
