Jessica Dowdy 1/5/2011 A Block A. Astronomy/ Space 1. Big Bang Theory: a. The Big Bang Theory is the theory that the entire universe was once confined to a dense‚ hot‚ super massive ball then 12-17 billion years ago huge expansions occurred and material in the ball began moving out in all directions. Then‚ instant cooling ensued due to the expansion and thus the universe was born. b. Individuals Roles in the BBT: Edwin Hubble – Created the most powerful telescope of the time

Aircraft engine An aircraft engine is the component of the propulsion system for an aircraft that generates mechanical power. Aircraft engines are almost always either lightweight piston engines or gas turbines. Turbine-powered Turboprop A turboprop engine is a type of turbine engine which drives an aircraft propeller using a reduction gear. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’sexhaust gases do

the Arabian Plate in the middle and the Indo-Australian Plate to the east. The westerly side is a divergent boundary with the North American Plate forming the northernmost part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ which is straddled by Iceland. The 1973 eruption of Eldfell‚ the volcano of the Icelandic island Heimaey‚ caused by the North American and the Eurasian plates moving apart‚ is a result of divergent plate boundary forces.

by themselves. There was not a way to come up with multiple solutions to this problem. This type of thinking is called divergent thinking‚ which states the thinking meets the criteria of originality‚ inventiveness‚ and flexibility (Morris & Maisto‚ 2010). In this simulation‚ there is only one way to solve the problem‚ this thought process is called convergent thinking. Convergent thinking is thinking that is directed toward one correct solution to a problem (Morris & Maisto‚ 2010). 2. What

Assignment: Sedimentary Rocks * Where do sedimentary rocks originate? Sedimentary rocks are the most common rock on earth. Sedimentary rocks form at‚ or very near‚ the Earth’s surface where rocks particles transported by wind‚ water and ice are deposited on dry land‚ on the beds of rivers and lakes and in marine environments: beaches‚ deltas and the sea (Sedimentary Rocks‚ 2001). The earth surface is constantly moving‚ materials are continually being deposited through various parts of the
