This book is a written testament of an anthropologists everyday dealings with an African tribe by the name of the Mbuti Pygmies. My purpose in this paper is to inform the reader of Kevin Duffy's findings while in the Ituri rainforest. Kevin Duffy is one of the first and only scientists to have ever been in close contact with the Mbuti. If an Mbuti tribesman does not want to be found, they simply wont be. The forest in which the Mbut...

Hubble Space Telescope Universe Continues To Expand Energy
786 wordsThe universe begins with a cataclysm that generates space and time, as well as all the matter and energy the universe will ever hold. For an incomprehensibly small fraction of a second, the universe is an infinitely dense, hot fireball. The prevailing theory describes a peculiar form of energy that can suddenly push out the fabric of space. On a rare occasion, a runaway process called "Inflation" can cause a vast expansion of space filled with this energy. The inflationary expansion is stopped o...

Prevailing Winds Low Pressure
647 wordsWhy There Are Different Climates In Different Places Why Are There Different Climates Different Places The main factor that determines the climates of any place is its distance from the equator. This is because sun never rises high. Therefore the places close to the equator remains warm. Temperature typically decreases as altitude increases. At high altitudes the air is less dense, and it does not absorb and hold as much heat. On the average, the temperature drops about 3. 5 Fahrenheit for every...

2 H 2 O Carbon Monoxide
1,607 words1. State the five assumptions of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases. a) Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These particles, usually molecules or atoms, typically occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than occupied by the same number of particles in the liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are much further apart than those of liquids or solids. Most of the volume occupied by a gas is empty space. This accounts for the lower density of gases compared to liquids and so...

Chemical Reaction Test Tube
682 wordsBackground An example of a gas would be hydrogen. A chemical property is how a substance changes its identity. An example of this would be being able to support flammability. A physical property distinguishes one type of matter from another and can be observed without changing its identity. An example of this is somethings boiling point because when you change a liquid to a gas it does not change its identity only its form. A chemical change is when something changes identity and example of this...

The Biological Importance Of Water
1,055 wordsGenerally, the main biological importance of water is that life cannot exist without it. In fact on a percentage basis, the majority of any organism is comprised of water. Additionally, it is believed that life first originated in the bodies of water on the earth. The importance of water is seen in such third world countries as Kenya. Where the inhabitants are forced to drink water so dirty and contaminated that they know it might kill them. However they still drink it because its essential for ...

Tectonic Plates Oceanic Crust
1,370 wordsThe core is divided into two parts, the solid inner core and the liquid outer core. The inner core is thought to be solid and primarily made up of iron and some nickel. The outer core is all around the inner core and is believed to be made up of liquid iron mixed with liquid nickel. The outer core is about 2890 to 5100 km. The inner core is 5100 to 6378 km. Earths mantle is mainly composed of substances high in iron and magnesium. The melting point of every substance depends on the pressure and ...

Liquid Water Aquatic Life
655 wordsWhat would the world be like if solid water was denser than liquid water? Density is a property of matter. It is defined as the amount of material that fits in a given space. Denser objects are naturally heavier than objects that are less dense and of the same size. In the same manner that solid objects have density, liquids also have density. In that connection, water is denser than oil. If two objects of different densities come into contact, then the one that is less dense will float on it. T...

Air Resistance Straight Line
1,374 wordsPlanning The experiment is to determine the horizontal motion of a projectile when launched from a ski slope´ at different speeds. It is thought that the rate at which the ball bearing is released from the slope will affect how far it travels in a horizontal direction. The height up the slope that the ball is released will be proportional to the distance that it travels. Therefore, if the height from which it is released is doubled it will travel twice as far. When the experiment is conduc...
