Horizontal hydrofracking is a means of tapping shale deposits containing natural gas that were previously inaccessible by conventional drilling. Vertical hydrofracking is used to extend the life of an existing well once its productivity starts to run out‚ sort of a last resort. Horizontal fracking differs in that it uses a mixture

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related halocarbons gases in the atmosphere. In the presence of Ultraviolet light‚ these gases dissociate‚ releasing chlorine atoms‚ which then go on to catalyze ozone destruction. The greenhouse effect‚ on the other hand‚ is a natural warming process of the earth. When the sun’s energy reaches the earth some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed. The absorbed energy warms the earth’s surface which then emits heat energy back toward space as longwave radiation

teaching evolution. Many have recently swayed to a pro intelligent design mindset due to scientists having no empirical evidence to explain Charles Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection‚ which is said to be the process in which our world’s structure of evolution follows. Darwin’s theory implies that species exist due to the natural change in which they inhabit to survive their environment; yet‚ it lacks the explanation on how the origin of life began. Thus‚ causing a suggestion of an intelligent designer

Evolution is the change in genetic composition of organisms between generations. Evolution is the process that results in organisms becoming more varied and better adapted in comparison to their ancestors. The driving force of evolution is natural selection. Natural selection is the process where individuals containing specific traits become more likely to survive compared to individuals without those traits. Because certain individuals have a greater chance to survive‚ they become more likely to reproduce

natural selection‚ evolution‚ mutation‚ variation‚ heritability‚ and fitness. EVOLUTION IN ACTION Darwin envisioned natural selection acting so slowly that its effects would be imperceptible in a human lifetime. But in the late 1900s‚ evolutionary biologists began to detect small but significant changes taking place in a handful of species. In the past decade‚ many more cases of natural selection have come to light‚ and scientists now realize that species can adapt quickly to changes in their

Out of all the ethical theories‚ natural rights ethics is the best overall theory. Natural rights theory is the best theory because it stays consistent and promotes equality among people. Also‚ the natural rights theory can help people maintain their dignity by allowing their rights to not be taken away. There are theories that are not as adequate as natural rights theory. Mill’s utilitarianism‚ Kantian deontology‚ and virtue ethics have flaws. Natural rights theory is better than the others theories

Over hundreds of thousands of generations‚ ontogenesis‚ structure and process of human nature and personality have been constructed by natural and sexual selection. This revolutionary concept about organic evolution‚ better known as the ‘theory of evolution’ was first introduced in 1859 by English naturalist Charles Darwin. (Maltby‚ Day & Macaskill‚ 2013) He believed that all living beings evolved from simple organisms and have changed throughout periods of time to create many various types of species
