Carbon Dioxide Emissions Set An Example
1,843 words... in their distribution. There should be a mandated Fossil Fuel Efficiency Standard that would be applied to every generator of electricity in the country. It would set a "nationwide allowance for the average fossil fuel used per unit of energy produced and would also include a schedule of cutting fossil allowances in half over the next twenty years" (213). Afterwards, each year the allowance for fossil fuel to be used would be less from the year before. The companies would be forced to increa...

Million Years Ago Five Hundred
1,312 wordsOn Saturday 12 th 2000, my family and I went on a float trip on the Huzzah River in Steelville, Missouri. The Huzzah River and its surroundings were a perfect location for me to look for my fossil. Since the water level was shallow, that enabled me to look to the river bottom. Almost immediately after I began my search near the edge of the river, I spotted a rock that appeared to have some sort of shell embedded in it. I decided this would be a good specimen for me to try to examine and identify...

Rivers Have Begun Flow In Their Present Courses Species

Of this, however, we do not think that the proof is quite satisfactory; and though the thing may be true in some instances, we believe that in far the greater number it cannot be admitted. The rhinoceros, of which the skeleton with some parts of the muscles and the hide, was found near the banks of the Lena, must no doubt have been frozen soon after its...

Top Of The Skull Nucl Torus Homo
519 wordsSTATION 1: Fossil 1 displays characteristics of Australopithecus aethiopicus of West Lake Turkana, Kenya. This skull shows the obvious characteristics of a very sharp sagittal crest along the top of the skull, a very wide skull in the cheek area, and an extremely pro gnathic lower skull and jaw area. The cranial capacity also appears to be smaller, suggesting that it is of the earlier hominids. Fossil 2 shows eyebrow ridges and a slight sagittal crest consistent with Homo erectus. The most defin...

Link Between Birds Birds Are Dinosaurs Theory Archaeopteryx
723 wordsAre birds really dinosaurs or are they simply related? That is a question that has gained new life in recent years due to the overwhelming facts the are pouring in from newly found fossils and studies from fossils that have been found in the past. Two groups have formed in the study of this question: those who believe birds are a direct result of dinosaurs and those who feel dinosaurs and birds must have had a common ancestor. Determining which view is correct is a matter of opinion based on fac...

Carbon Dioxide Methane Renewable Energy Sources
1,623 wordsBy the middle of the twenty first century, there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history, and quite possibly since the end of the dinosaurs, some 65 billion years ago. If we stay at the rate we our now (fossil fuel consumption / growth in population) then within the next two century the Earth's air might not be fit to breath. Many people in the world do not think that this is a major concern and that it is normal for the Earth's temperature to incr...

739 wordsGlobal Warming Although several influential politicians have joined the band-wagon against global warming, more clout is needed to address this issue. It is an important matter that needs to be dealt with immediately. Global warming has put the earth in a dire situation, and dire situations call for drastic actions. What actions need to be taken to prevent the continuance of global warming? First of all, the Federal government needs to get involved. Laws should be made to promote energy efficien...

Renewable Energy Sources Burning Of Fossil Fuels
994 wordsShifting Power Since the beginning of industry humans have been in search of fuel to power machines and generate energy. Fossil fuels, such as crude oil and coal, discovered beneath the Earth s surface were found to be an excellent source of fuel. These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. However, we are now realizing the problems that are created by using fossil fuels to generate energy. These problems are so great that they will force huma...

551 wordsFossil Fuels: Our Society's Dependency Natural Resources Report by Sean Falconer Chemistry 122 Mr. Hart 1997 - 02 - 07 Our society has become dependent on fossil fuels for energy. That seems fine for now considering the fact that everyone is generally happy in the present situation. Fossil fuels are relatively inexpensive and seem to be doing the trick right now. Using fossil fuels arise such issues as global warming, rising costs of scarce resources, and shortages of raw materials. None of thes...

Alternative Energy Sources Parts Per Million
1,972 wordsGlobal Climate Change Climate change is not a new concept; in fact there is evidence of major climate changes throughout the earths history. However since the industrial revolution and especially since world war two, there has been an unprecedented change in the earths atmosphere (Gates 4). As of March 1999, scientists reported the construction of a thousand-year record of the average temperature on earth. The results of their study concluded that a nine hundred-year cooling trend has been decis...

Burning Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy Sources
2,292 wordsGlobal Warming Global warming is the warming near the earths surface that results when the earths atmosphere traps the suns heat. The earth is getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it has been in the past million years. As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may cause forests to die and food crops to fail. Global wa...

1,299 wordsIs it hot in here, or is it just me? That? s the question young Billy asked himself one excruciatingly hot day. The air was thick with humidity and the sweat poured off him like the rain of a heavy spring downpour as he delivered his mid-day papers in his hometown of Seattle. Normally, he would not have thought twice about this kind of heat. Normally, it isn? t 90 degrees in April. This isn? t a far-fetched idea cooked up by a lone scientist pouring over minute data. This could be a reality. The...

Fossil Fuels Global Warming
1,982 wordsThe Potential Markets Hydrogen ANALYSIS The Potential Markets For Non-Fossil Fuel Hydrogen? Hydrogen, most of it produced from fossil fuels, is already widely used in the chemicals industry, notably in the manufacture of fertilizers and petrochemicals. It would therefore be possible to substitute NFFH in this market. However, the total that could be absorbed by 2040 is unlikely to represent more than about 3 % of current total world energy demand. ? NFFH could be used to satisfy much of the dema...

Million Years Ago Second Law Of Thermodynamics
2,945 wordsEvolution VS. Creation It has been said that the major difference between humans and beasts is that humans are curious about there beginnings, they question where they came from and how they ended up where they are. There as several theories as to how humans came to exist but none have created such a controversy as the debate between evolutionism and creationism. Evolutionism consists of the idea that all organisms evolved from a single ancestor. According to this theory, the human species close...

Paleo Ecological Reconstruction Paleo Ecological Evidence Organisms
1,100 wordsOne of the principal objectives of geologists studying sedimentary rocks is the reconstruction of the environment in which the rocks were deposited. Correct reconstruction may result in the discovery of oilfields, deposits of salts, or base metals, and provide insight to our earths past. As evidence to ancient environments the geologist has the structures, textures, and composition of the grains that make up the sediments, and the fossils preserved in them. Organisms are far more sensitive to, a...
