Modernism And The Great Gatsby
2,005 wordsTo understand modern literature, one must develop a sense of the structured and ordered lifestyle prior to modern culture. Before the era of modernism, lifestyles were systematically organized through standard traditions. When World War I started, Americans felt the impact of modernism at its strongest with men going off to battle and women working in factories. Lifestyles were beginning to divert from family traditions. People started to abandon their traditional values and adapt to the challen...

Arysio Nunes dos Santos has a different theory than the others. Santos places the continent of Atlantis in the Indies, India and Indonesia. So far this is the only place where there have been virtually no sightings of Atlantis. He believes that the remains of Atlantis lie at the bottom of the of the South China Sea. He also agrees with Plato on ho...

Lava Flows Earth Crust
1,090 wordsVolcano: defined is a mountain or hill formed by the accumulation of materials erupted through one or more openings (called volcanic vents) in the earth's surface. The term volcano can also refer to the vents themselves. Most volcanoes have steep sides, but some can be gently sloping mountains or even flat tablelands, plateaus, or plains. The volcanoes above sea level are the best known, but the vast majority of the world's volcanoes lie beneath the sea, formed along the global oceanic ridge sys...

Sodium Chloride Earth Crust
745 wordsSodium has an atomic number of 11 and a mass of about 23 g. It is a silvery white-metallic element classified under the alkali metals. Sodium has been known since early times and was used by the people of Mesopotamia and Egypt to make glasses. Sodium is the sixth most common element found on the earth. It is usually not found in nature but more often in compounds such as salt (NaCl). Sodium conducts heat and electricity easily. Without this element life could not exist. Each compound is used for...

Circular Motion Earthquake Earthquakes
316 wordsBefore talking about Earthquake, we have to get a better understanding about the Earth, and what happen to it that causes the movement called Earthquake. Lets start saying that the Earth is divided into three parts: the crust, the mantle, and the core. The mantle of the earth is where many earthquakes begin, in that place, the temperatures are very hot. The heat causes some rock to soften; this softened rock is called magma that moves through the mantle in a circular motion. This process is call...

Ups And Downs Birch Trees
1,021 wordsIn any life, one must endure hardship to enjoy the good times. According to Robert Frost, the author of Birches, enduring lifes hardships can be made easier by finding a sane balance between ones imagination and reality. The poem is divided into four parts: an introduction, a scientific analysis of the bending of birch trees, an imaginatively false analysis of the phenomenon involving a New England farm boy, and a reflective wish Frost makes, wanting to return to his childhood. All of these sect...

Shield Volcanoes Plate Tectonics
1,406 wordsWhen there is a sudden breaking of rocks within the earth or an explosion, wave like energy travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. These are called seismic waves and they are of two types: body waves and surface waves categorized into different kinds. What we will be discussing are body waves; there are two types of body waves: primary waves (P waves) and secondary waves (S waves). Both kinds travel through the Earths interior in all directions and arrive before the surface w...

Earths Crust Seismic Waves
535 wordsEarthquakes can simply be defined as a naturally induced shaking of the ground caused by the fracture and sliding of rock within the earths crust. There are at least 6, 000 earthquakes detected throughout the world each year. Many people have heard about or experienced first hand the effects that an earthquake can have. But many people dont understand what causes them and what exactly is happening during an earthquake. In the following paper I will be explaining the causes and effects of earthqu...

Earths Crust San Francisco
1,193 wordsAn earthquake is shaking or trembling of the earth that is volcanic or tectonic in origin. A broadly satisfying explanation of the majority of earthquakes can be given in terms of what is called plate tectonics. The basic idea is that the Earths outermost part also called the lithosphere consists of several large and fairly stable slabs of solid and relatively rigid rock called plates (Bravely 154). These plates continuously move pushing and rubbing against each other. Since the earliest of time...

Earthquakes Occur Earthquake Damage
355 wordsAn Earthquake, is when the earths surface shakes caused by rapid movement of the earths rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the earth, usually in the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the earth by earthquake waves. The study of earthquakes and the waves they create is called seismology. Thats why they call Scientists who study earthquakes, seismologists. Some earthquakes are not strong enough to be felt by people, ...

Earths Rotation Solar Wind
1,404 wordsTHE MOON Called Luna by the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks, and many other names in other mythologies. The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moons phases. The time between successive new moons is 29. 5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moons orbital pe...

Oceanic Crust Continental Drift
780 wordsPlate tectonics are a relatively new theory that has revolutionized the way geologists think about the Earth. According to the theory, the surface of the Earth is broken into large plates. The size and position of these plates change over time. The hypothesis of continental drift was largely developed by the German Alfred Wegener The edges of these plates, where they move against each other, are sites of intense geologic activity, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building. Plate tect...

Time It Takes Surface Of Mars
1,058 wordsMars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 228 million-km (141 million miles) and the last terrestrial planet from the sun. The next five planets in order from the sun are gaseous. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth and about one-tenth of Earth s mass. Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Though it is much smaller, Mars does have the same surface land area as Earth. Other than Earth, Mars po...

Oxygen Was First Earths Crust Found
275 wordsOxygen was first Oxygen Discovery Oxygen was first discovered by two scientists. One was a British Chemist Joseph Priestly who was given credit for the discovery in 1774. The other was a Swedish Chemist Carl Wilhelm Schedule who had also discovered it around the same time as Priestly. Yet Priestly was given credit because his work, and results were published. Priestly had first found this new element when he observed that mercuric oxide, on heating. Yielded a gas that caused a flame to burn fast...
