Life North America

It is a warm summer? s day; the heat rises from
the pavement as the roar of engines and smell of
gasoline surround you. With a throaty growl the
first car pulls up to the line on the drag strip
in front of you. Its large V- 8 pounds as it pulls
up to the starting mark. An annoying whine
announces the challenger, a smaller car covered in
decals and brand names. Its four cylinders hum as
it stops, ready to go. The light flashes green and
both cars jump into action. As the front wheels
leap from th...

World War Ii Soil Conservation
1,227 words
Subsidies are payments, economic concessions, or
privileges given by the government to favor
businesses or consumers. In the 1930 s, subsidies
were designed to favor agriculture. John Steinbeck
expressed his dislike of the farm subsidy system
of the United States in his book, The Grapes of
Wrath. In that book, the government gave money to
farms so that they would grow and sell a certain
amount of crops. As a result, Steinbeck argued,
many people starved unnecessarily. Steinbeck
examined farm sub...

United States Of America Heart Rate

THE RECOVERY RATE OF THE MALE IS SIGNIFICANTLY
FASTER THAN THAT OF THE FEMALE. Abstract: This
experiment is designed to test whether or not
gender is a major contributing factor to the
recovery heart rate in humans. Most would assume
that the male heart rate would be considerably
faster in recovery time than that of the female.
This experiment furthers that assumption by
eliminating uncontrolled variables such as age,
build, and health conditions. Introduction: The
male human has always had cert...

The Properties of Light Applied to Fibre Optics
One of the basic properties of light is that it
travels in straight lines and can have it? s
direction changed. This is the property which is
applied to achieve the purpose of Fibre Optics
which is to carry light from one place to another.
The way this is done can be explained by the
principle of refraction. This is the principle
which governs the behaviour of light as it passes
from one transparent substance to another. It
states; if a ray of ligh...

Biological And Cultural Adaptive Radiation Erectus
457 words
About one million years ago, Homo erectus
populations began migrating out of East Africa.
They soon spread into South and West Africa, Asia
and Europe. This adaptive radiation was the result
of several biological and cultural factors. H.
erectus was physically larger than earlier
hominids. This probably allowed them to fun faster
and further than their ancestors and could have
given them an advantage in hunting and escaping.
It may also have increased their food gathering
abilities by expanding ...

communicate differently. This is especially true
when put into the context of communication between

Illegal Immigrants Illegal Immigration
1,212 words
One of the most controversial political issues of
today is that of illegal immigration from Mexico.
Illegal immigration into the United States is a
problem that should be stopped, as it is unfair to
both Americans and to the people of the country
from which they illegally immigrated. It is
thought that the majority of illegal aliens
residing in the U. S. are Mexicans. Nearly all of
these illegal immigrants from Mexico think of
jumping the border and entering the United States
as an opportunity t...

Nuclear Waste Half Life

The mathematical notion of infinity can be
conceptualized in many different ways. First, as
counting by hundreds for the rest of our lives, an
endless quantity. It can also be thought of as
digging a whole in hell for eternity, negative
infinity. The concept I will explore, however, is
infinitely smaller quantities, through radioactive
decay Infinity is by definition an indefinitely
large quantity. It is hard to grasp the magnitude
of such an idea. When we examine infinity further

is therefor abandoned. Many have dreamed up

truth been known to exist; the gulf between how

materials as well as some examples that are easily
visible to the naked eye. The subject is broad and
