The Inuit People Of Arctic
1,456 words
The Inuit are one of the many self-designations of
the Eskimo people. They are considered to be of
Asian decent, which is noticeable from their small
hands and feet. Another distinguishing feature is
the appreciable percentage of the B blood type,
which seems to be totally absent from the American
Indian, whom they are usually mistaken to be
descendants of (Mastny 25). These Inuit are
scattered in small communities across Northern
Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, and the
Chukotka region of Ea...

look at Mars we may find many similarities as well
as differences ...

Organic Molecules Organic Matter

Dissolved oxygen infers to the volume of oxygen
that is contained in water. Oxygen enters water
through photosynthesis and across the water
interface. The amount of oxygen that can be held
by the water depends on the water pressure,
salinity, and temperature. Gas solubility
increases with decreasing temperature; thus colder
water holds more oxygen. A reason why freshwater
holds more oxygen than does saltwater is because
gas solubility increases with decreasing salinity.
When there is a change in...

Female Desert Tortoise U S Department Tortoises

Vulnerable to the harsh desert conditions, the
desert tortoise spends almost all of its time
waiting out extreme temperatures in its
underground burrow. There, this armored,
terrestrial turtle conserves its energy and stays
relatively cool during summer months, and
relatively warm during winter months. This turtle,
California's official state reptile, carries a
high-domed tan to dark brown carapace (shell),
which protects them from most predators. Yet even
those shells are unable to shield the d...

electrical engineering. I believe that this
definition would be best suited for students
enrolled in electrical engineering, because the
concepts are laid out in a clear format. A
semiconductor is a solid material whose ability

Woolly Mammoth Huge Tusks Thick

We have learned much about the Woolly Mammoth
almost more than any other dinosaur that has been
identified. Due to the fact that the Woolly
Mammoth so closely resembles todays elephants,
care for them would most probably require most of
the same factors to keep it alive. Since the
Woolly Mammoth has been extinct for 4000 years, it
is difficult to tell exactly what they lived on,
but we can hypothesize. The Woolly Mammoth lived
during the Ice Age, so if alive today, it must be
kept in a tundra en...

Northern Hemisphere Food Shortage

The gray whale decline has been an eminent problem
for many decades. There are numerous reasons for
the gray whales to be in decline. Some of these
reasons include the whale hunting that occurred in
the mid 1860 s into the early 1870 s on the coast
of California (Jones, pg. 173). There are, to this
day, two countries that continue to ignore the
whale moratorium (Busch, pg. 103). Another reason
is the dead gray whales washing up on the shores
of the West Coast, which is probably due to their

65279; Energy From Nuclear Fusion Nuclear
Fusion is the energy-producing process which takes
place continuously in the sun and stars. In the
core of the sun at temperatures of 10 - 15 million
degrees Celsius, Hydrogen is converted to Helium
providing enough energy for us to sustain life on
earth. For energy production on earth, different
fusion reactions are involved. The most suitable
reaction occurs between the nuclei of the two
light forms (isotopes) of Hydrogen Deuterium and
Tritium; even...

Spread Of Disease Fossil Fuels

The increase in the population of the world may be
affecting us in more ways than previously thought.
The usage of fossil fuels increases as the
population increases. When a baby is born the
immediate need for fossil fuels are increased. One
example of this is the immediate need for fuel
used to heat the water for the babys bottles,
bath, and the water required to wash its clothes.
This newborn may reach adulthood and begin to

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Science And Technology

Every year, Earth s surface receives 1. 73 x 10 17
W of energy from the sun. This is about 15, 000
times as much the human population uses annually
(Merritt's 267). Global warming occurs when the
levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared
light, or heat, escapes the earths atmosphere.
Thus, the temperature experienced on Earth begins
to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earths
history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in
overall average temperature for the past 150, 000
years th...

it altered the course of life on earth. It seems
like it happened so sudden, as geologic time goes,

energy and change it to chemical energy. Almost
all of the world? s energy is provided through

light and certain temperatures and a series of
reactions that don? t need light but need certain
temperatures. The rate of the light reaction, can
