Perhaps the most entrancing some portion of examining mythology is recognizing the striking likenesses and cosmic dissimilarities between societies close and far separated from each other in either time or space.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The first thing God needed to create was a stage for his creation. Once that was created light was needed for it to be seen.

Once this was finished he separated the light from the darkness. Wesley commented on this saying, “So put them asunder as

Astronomy paper Introduction: Searching for extra-solar planets is not a very easy task. Because most of the times we find them by not actually looking at them but by the effects they produce mainly on the star around which they are rotating. It is because planets look like just a dull spec of light through a telescope. The distance between us and a nearby planet is very large. In our scale model it will be like looking at a dust particle in Thunder Bay Ontario if we are sitting in Halifax with

Notes Origin of Planet Earth and Solar System: * Earth as a unique planet 1. Presence of a “hydrosphere”/ there’s liquid water/ makes life possible 2. Presence of a life supporting atmosphere/ there’s oxygen: not too much, not too little (too much oxygen results in fires) 3. Distance from the sun/ controls overall temperature of planet, Goldilocks Zone: not too hot, not too cold/ also controls composition of planet * Terrestrial Planets- Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid Belt

hard for much. Don’t get me wrong, I know there are plenty of people who do work very hard. But in this day and age, many are used to getting what they want, whenever they want it. We are used to instantaneous gratitude, and starting a project like that would be too much for some of us. Something people do not really pay attention to is that everything we own is made from something in the earth. Another thing they do not realize too much is how fortunate we are. At some point in time, everything

Every time a language dies, the world loses a piece of its ability to survive Languages play a pivotal role in day-to-day life. Languages break the communication barrier between people. The planet earth beholds countless languages in its embrace. Over the world, numerous languages are spoken.In relation to this, every year several languages die out. Some people assert that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. In my perception,numerous languages

Such things are vital for growing crops and protecting crops for current day farmers, and were significant in the early past because things like probable floods delivered the fertilization ancient farmers needed to endure to grow food on the same lands years after years. Global warming simply deals with the idea of the normal temperature of the earth changing and growing over the time of the 20th to 21st century. Such a growth about 1 degree Fahrenheit over the

explain the normal functioning of water, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycle to start things off. Water plays many different roles on the Earth. Some is at the poles in ice caps, and some is in the snow and glaciers at the tops of high mountains. Some is in lakes and streams, and some is underground. Some is vapor in the atmosphere. But most of the water on Earth is in the oceans. Water is always on the move! The Sun’s energy causes water to evaporate from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere (Saundry)
