Elaina Samelo 5th Block Ritzus The Good Earth The Good Earth‚ written by Pearl S. Buck‚ is a book about the political and social struggles of China. Since this book was published in 1931‚ the somewhat old-fashioned style of writing reveals the era of which it was written. Although it is apparent through the writing that this book is a little older‚ it has a charm that only older books can possess. It is one of the things that actually kept my attention; the old-fashioned charm. The publishing

The text “Earth day” by Atticot and Manning states‚ “Every square mile of the oceans contains more than 46‚000 pieces of paper.” Thanks to Earth day we can have a clean and healthy Earth. We don’t have to worry about waking up one day and not being able to breathe because our Earth is sick and polluted. Earth day is still important because if we do not have Earth day our oceans would be even more polluted and dirty‚ our animals would be sick and become endangered and humans would start dying

EARTH AFTER A 5000 YEARS!!!! If you could travel back in time five centuries‚ you’d encounter a thriving Aztec empire in Central Mexico‚ a freshly painted "Mona Lisa" in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age (A.D. 1300 to 1850) and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery. But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th

An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) (now referred to as residual current circuit breaker) is a safety device used in electrical installations with high earth impedance to prevent shock. History ELCBs were mainly used on TT earthing systems. Nowadays‚ ELCBs have been mostly replaced by residual-current devices (RCDs). However many ELCBs are still in use. Early ELCBs responded to sine wave fault currents‚ but not to rectified fault current. Over time‚ filtering against nuisance trips has also

More and more people are going hungry every day due to our rising birth rates and the advancement in medical care for the elderly. We must figure out a way to provide our planet earth with the food it needs more efficiently without destroying what little bit of environmental biodiversity we have left. What do you call

The earth has not always looked the way it looks today. In other words‚ the United States one billion years ago was in a totally different location than it is today!! How does this happen? And why does this happen? Let’s take a look. In order for us to get some understanding of how the earth has changed over time‚ we first need to understand some of the things that took place‚ and are still taking place‚ in the earth. What about the internal structure of the Earth? Our best clues about the interior

WHAT IF EARTH STOPS SPINNING? As we all know‚ planets spin. Our solar system was formed billions years ago from a spinning cloud of gas and dust. Nowadays‚ the Earth is turning at more than 16 hundreds kilometers an hour‚ bus it’s gradually slowing down about two seconds every one hundred thousand years. BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT SLOWDOWN SPEEDS UP? If the speed of rotation were reduced by about one kilometer per hour‚ traffic air would face serious consequences. Most commercial aircrafts

Weather and Atmospheric Water Humidity- the amount of water in the air in a particular spot. Relative Humidity- the percentage of water vapor a certain volume of air is holding relative to the max amt it can contain. 80% humidity means that it is holding 80% of the total amt of water that it can hold at that temp. Heat Index- shows what the temperature feels like due to humidity. Dew Point- the point at which air becomes saturated with water. Water will condense from the air as dew‚ if the
