Over 13.5 billions years ago‚ a gigantic explosion produce energy and fundamental particle that created the universe. This mean that all the things that we see today such as rock‚ animal‚ plant‚ water was created during that time. First‚ quark is formed which is proton

major considerations when examining a construct ’s validity through the MTMM matrix. The six considerations are as follows. The first consideration is the evaluation of convergent validity‚ which is used to design tests that measures and shows how construct relate to each other. The second consideration is the evaluation of divergent validity. In this case‚ the construct being measured by a test should not correlate highly with different constructs. The third consideration is the trait-method unit

the implications of human sexuality and dynamics creates further probability for cynical articulations. Therefore‚ I cannot agree with the writer’s statement. Each person’s interpretation and the conclusion will bring about unique views regarding biblical narratives‚ and I do not view women as “dutiful wives or dangerous temptresses” (Molloy‚ 2010‚ p. 309). Therefore‚ I believe that we were all created equally in God’s image‚ all charged with dutiful responsibilities‚ and all must work toward making

Wegener proposed this theory along with continental drift; Evidence he used includes matching fossils‚ rock types‚ and ancient climates. 4. The three types of plate boundaries are: * Divergent boundaries are a region where the rigid plates are moving apart‚ typified by the oceanic ridges * Convergent boundaries are a boundary in which two plates move together * Transform boundaries are a boundary in which two plates slide past each other without creating or destroying lithosphere

other. This means that the earth’s plates move because of the unending cycle of cooling and raising of molten rock‚ adding new material t0 the edges of the plates. This movement is called divergent movement‚ the most common of the three types of movement between plates. The other two movements are called convergent and transform-fault. This idea was first suggested by Alfred Wagener in 1915. He called the single large continent Pangaea. Today‚ there are many different kinds of evidence that support

Improvisation occurs when one adjusts to an unexpected situation. Like the process of creativity‚ these reactions are not predetermined or planned in a distinct way. (quote?) When spontaneous or unexpected situations occur‚ one reacts using solely his knowledge and being. Thus improvisation’s most basic form is evident in everyday encounters and interactions (Hodgson and Richards..?) Each day‚ individuals encounter situations or events that require them to act based on the parameters of the situation
