...The Hawaiian Islands, for example, exist because of volcanoes. Volcano Facts Stages of Volcanic Activity Volcanoes are classified as active or inactive. Inactive volcanoes are older and have usually erupted many times. A volcano is described as active if it is currently erupting or expected to erupt eventually. Eruption Stage A volcanic eruption occurs when lava, gasses, and other subterranean matter come out of the ground. The exact location of where they come out of is called a vent. A volcano usually has more than one vent. The following table lists three volcanoes and the date of the last eruption: Eruptions can be violent or quiet. Some eruptions send lava high above the surface in spectacular fountain shapes. Violent eruptions such as these often include chunks of solid rock that were blown off the interior walls of the vent. Quiet eruptions consist of lava simply flowing out of vents. Both types of eruptions can also have gasses, such as sulfur and fluorine gas, coming out of vents. Cooling and Inactive Stage Even after a volcano stops erupting, gasses and vapors are still released. Some volcanoes, however, can end one period of eruptions and begin another after many years. Eventually, the volcano reaches the cooling stage. While the volcano cools, it reduces in...

...“I didn’t call to him, for he gave me a sudden intimidation that he was content to be alone – he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward – and distinguished nothing except a single green light. Minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock, When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the quiet darkness.” [20-21] ch. 1 One of the first symbols mentioned in the book in the first chapter. Here the green light is made to symbolize Gatsby’s dream and his hope for his future. His love for Daisy and his dreams are materialized in a light in which he reaches over and over again but cannot attain. “This is a valley of ashes–a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of ash-grey men, who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. Occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak, and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight. …The valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul river, and, when the drawbridge is up to let barges through, the passengers on waiting trains can stare at...

...Automated Swimming Pool Cleaning System Introduction: Automated pool cleaning systems have been developed to reduce the amount of human effort required to keep a pool clean. Without a cleaning system the pool water would quickly become stagnant and a habitation for all sorts of micro-organisms. Algae would soon fill the pool turning the water and pool surfaces green. Not only is this an aesthetic problem it could potentially be a serious risk to a swimmer’s health. The overall purpose of the automated pool cleaning system is to provide a swimming environment in which the risk to the health of the swimmer caused by contact with the pool water is minimised; and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the pool. This is achieved through ensuring that the swimming pool remains clean and free from algae and harmful micro-flora such as bacteria or even viruses. The major components of the cleaning systems are a filtration system, a chemical distribution system, an in-pool cleaning unit and a pumping system. Figure 1 is an illustration of a typical in-pool cleaning unit. The cleaning unit is connected to the inlet of the pool pump via the white hose seen in the picture. Cleaning units typically use the suction from the pump to propel themselves around the pool. In some cases however the cleaning unit is driven by pressure from the outlet of the pool pump or a separate electric motor mounted in the cleaning unit. The cleaning unit is designed to clean the underwater...

...Let's Go Fishing Iris Ritenour Com/155 November 30, 2013 Erin Fuller Let's Go Fishing It is always an exciting time when going deep sea fishing. Some people regard fishing as an old man’s sport. People have been captivated by the sea since the beginning of time, and of catching fish since around the same time. The sport has grown hugely in many ways, yet has stayed the same in many aspects. Imagine looking at the ocean as a slick plate of glass when it is calm, or it can be a very dangerous place if a storm decides to get it riled up. Fly fishing, on the other hand can be a relaxing adventure. Although it takes skill to cast a fly rod, a sharp eye to find the fish, a special hand to convince the fish to take the feathery lure, and quite possibly some fast reflexes to hook the fish, if you get that window of opportunity. If you do not get it right, you can watch your fish majestically swim away as he spits out the feathery hook, and you reel the line in as gracefully as you cast it out. Although deep sea fishing and fly fishing are similar as sports, they differ concerning equipment, locations, and types of fish. For those of you interested in fishing, but are not so lucky at it, there are some guidelines you may want to try. The first important thing you should know is that the equipment you use is very important. “You would not want to “bring a knife to a gunfight,” because it wouldn’t be prudent.” ("Fishing." 123HelpMe.com. 13 Nov 2013 <http://www...

But as with any other solution, if you are considering geothermal energy for your home, you’ll want to take a look at the advantages and disadvantages it produces. So, to help you out, we looked around to discover some answers to your questions - “What are the advantages and disadvantages of geothermal energy?” The Advantages of Geothermal Energy When it comes to the advantages of geothermal energy, they are numerous. To give you an idea of just how many there are, be sure to check out this list: * First and foremost, geothermal energy is renewable, meaning that as long as we don’t pump too much cold water into the earth -cooling off the hot rocks- the energy will just keep on coming! * Secondly, geothermal energy doesn’t produce pollution, and at the same time, it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect! * The power stations for geothermal energy don’t take up a whole bunch of room, and because of this, they tend to have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. * Because geothermal energy is energy in and of itself, no outside sources of fuel are needed to keep the power houses running. * And, even better, geothermal efficiency offers an even more exciting benefit to the frugal homeowner - once you’ve built the geothermal power station, the energy is nearly, well, free! While it may require a little energy to actually...

...Author’s Purposes in Depicting Women’s Rights Attaining for Justice Arthur Golden depicts women’s rights in order to understand the important role of respect in one’s life and the right to live freely. The issue on women’s rights is clearly stated in the novel because Golden takes a good interest on the way how the society itself treats poor families and women, differently from the higher ones. A sample event that shows the depiction on women’s right: ‘“…Since moving to New York I’ve learned what the word “geisha” really to most Westerners…”’ (Golden 375) In the novel, the gender exploitation is heavily applied. Women are individuals who are exploited by people, namely the male individuals. They are taken advantage in a sexual aspect. Women also lack freedom and independence in their lives. In addition, women’s needs are not catered and they are not given of any kind of support they needed or deserved. Sayuri once have been treated with great harshness at the geisha house.

The Westerners is one of the best examples that implies the unequal treatment that the geisha’s from Japan gets. This was the author’s purpose for he wants others to...
