Kailey Newsome Biome Paper Desert Biome The desert biome has an interesting ecosystem if I can say that because few plants and animals or living things can survive such harsh climate. About twenty percent of the earth can fall into desert category (bioexpedition). The reason for this is there are four major types of deserts that people either encounter, visit or read about those include Hot and Dry, Semiarid deserts, Costal deserts and Cold deserts. Hot and Dry Desert: There are four major Hot

1. The most important factor responsible for the Earths four seasons is that the Earth rotates around the sun tilted on its axis at a 23.5˚ angle. The axis is always tilted in the same direction which means that for half the year the Northern Hemisphere is pointed more toward the sun and for half the year the Southern Hemisphere is pointed more toward the sun, giving us our seasons. The hemisphere that is facing more directly toward the sun has more direct sunlight and less beam spreading, which

stories there is a higher being, such as, a god that jump starts the creation of the universe. But not every myth shares this particular idea. Some believe that life came from either above or below of where they are standing, others believe that the Earth was covered in water and the land was lifted up. In some cases, humans and animals lived in harmony one with the other, but that was short-lived due to the sins that humans did against their creators, or the animals used or deceived humans and were

Exercise In this exercise, you will investigate the cause of the phases of the Moon. The figure below shows an orbital diagram of the Earth-Moon system as viewed from above the Earth's North pole. Light from the Sun is coming from the left. Note that the drawing is not to scale. Section I Shade in the part of the Moon that is in shadow and the part that is unobservable from Earth in each of the eight numbered positions. The first has been completed as an example. (Use dark shading for the shadow, light cross-hatch

about the climate change that are much more plausible. It’s totally normal, that some periods are warmer and some are colder. One point is, that the Earth orbit isn’t always the same. Sometimes it’s formed like a circle and sometimes it’s more like an ellipse, it changes every 100.000 years. The inclination of the axis of earth does also change. These days the northern hemisphere is turned away from the sun when its winter and the lack of sunshine makes it colder. This could be an explanation of the

Science in my daily life As the Earth completes yet another turn around it axis, the sunlight pours into my bedroom indicating it is time to wake up. In case I miss the hint, my alarm clock set, as usual, for seven o’clock will do the trick. I get up and enter the bathroom, pleasantly warm thanks to the radiator fed with hot water through a series of pipes connected to a central heating boiler. I remain a couple of extra minutes under the shower enjoying the warm water – courtesy again of my boiler

the sun and moon azimuths are separated by 90º, and Stonehenge happens to be only a few miles from that latitude. At the latitude of Stonehenge, this axis crosses the midwinter sunset/midsummer sunrise axis at right angles. Every year on the first day of summer, the Sun

Global Warming Global warming is one of the most controversial topics of this decade. Global warming is the idea that the pollution that humans create is slowly making the earth warmer. Climate change has been happening for many years, but it did not become a major political issue until recently. Jonathan Patz, director of the global health institute, states that Climatologists think global warming will not only increase the average temperature, but it will also increase the intensity and frequency
