Earth’s surface? Tides on Earth’s surface are caused by the moon’s gravitational pull as well as the Sun’s gravitational pull. However‚ the Sun’s gravity is much weaker on Earth’s surface than the moon’s gravity since the Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun. 8. Describe one factor that affects the height of the tides in a particular area. One factor that affects the heights of tides in a particular area is because of the nature of the sea floor‚ and how deep or shallow the

lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by the nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown. In their exploration‚ they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice‚ they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man. In ancient days‚ men looked at the stars and saw their

4. Describe the difference in stellar evolution of stars the size of our sun with that of stars 4+ times larger than our sun. Include all of the steps and the causes of each step. A nebula‚ an immense cloud of hydrogen gas and dust‚ condenses into smaller regions of matter. On occasion‚ one of these regions collapses under the force of its own gravitational attraction‚ often triggered by an outside force‚ like a nearby supernova-an explosion of a star. After the collapse of a cloud‚ atoms begin

Climates and Oceans- 1. With coastal climates‚ the locations are on the windward side‚ meaning the weather patterns move from the ocean to land‚ giving them mild summers and cool winters. This means that there isn’t a very large temperature range for coastal climates. Inland climates are more of the land heating and cooling‚ because they heat to high temperatures in the day and then cool a great amount at night. Also‚ the weather patterns are moving from land to water‚ creating warmer summers and

The 8 most common elements in the earth’s crust are Oxygen‚ Silicon‚ Aluminum‚ Iron‚ Calcium‚ Sodium‚ Potassium‚ & Magnesium. They compose 98.5% of the total crust. A mineral occurs naturally‚ is a soli‚ inorganic‚ has chemical composition and a crystalline structure. Native minerals are single elements. Compounds are 2 or more. There are more compound than native. You can identify minerals by color‚ streak‚ luster‚ hardness‚ cleavage‚ and fracture. Minerals form by magma erupting and

In addition to this reflection paper I will address the concerns of global warming as well. The most challenging part of the course by far was the virtual lab work. My problems with the virtual labs were
