country has different policies, laws, and regulations regarding oil and gas development and transportation, and these differences will affect how and by whom resources are developed, and how and where they are transported. This paper describes 1) the reasons that energy companies will likely focus more of their attention on the Arctic; 2) the current state of knowledge of Arctic oil and gas resources; and 3) issues that will affect the development of Arctic oil and gas resources including boundary

Conceptual Physics Assignment 1 Part 1: Essay Style Question: Why does an asteroid explode when it hits the earth? This is simply an application of the laws of physics. It is caused by the large amount of mass contained in an asteroid, moving at such a high velocity with an enormous amount of kinetic energy. For example: and the . Take an example radius of 10km. Therefore the and the We can then calculate the Kinetic Energy of the Asteroid using: Taking an example velocity of 30 km/s this gives

if you stopped only for gas, food and to sleep. And almost all Americans come from foreign countries – or their ancestors did. A British writer named Israel Zangwill wrote in a play, the following: As he used the term “Melting-pot” for USA it was utterly discussed whether it was positive or an insult, but it depends on the matter of view.

Seventy-five percent of oil spill incidents have been caused by third-party interference: sabotage and oil theft, however; a large majority are the result of oil theft and piracy, according to Shell ("Shell in Nigeria: Oil, Gas, Development & Corporate Social Responsibility.").

dispensation of interstellar gases and dust particles over a distance of a few twelve lightyears. Although there is intensely low pressure existing between stars, this dispensation of gas exists instead of a real vacuum. If the density of gas becomes bigger than 0.1 particles per cubic centimeter, the interstellar gas grows uncertain. Any small alteration in density, and because it is impossible to have a perfectly even distribution in these clouds this is something that will naturally occur, and
