decades to millions of years. It may be change in weather conditions or distribution of weather around the average condition. Climate change is caused by factors such as oceanic process (e.g. oceanic circulation) ‚ biotic processes ‚ variation in solar radiation ‚ volcanic eruption ‚ plate tectonic and human activities. Scientists actively work to understand past and future climate by using observation models and theoretical models. Floral and faunal record‚ glacial and periglacial process‚ stable

most basic questions first; Where do planets come from? and do the key elements and situations‚ needed to form planets‚ exist in the Beta Pictoris system?. To understand where planets come from‚ one has to first look at where the planets in our solar system came from. Does or did our star‚ the sun‚ have a circumstellar disk around it? the answer is believed to be yes. Scientists believe that a newly formed star is immediately surrounded by a relatively dense cloud of gas and dust. In 1965

steadily increasing. PV is a solar power technology that uses solar cells or solar photovoltaic arrays to convert light from the sun directly into electricity. Photovoltaic is the direct conversion of light into electricity at the atomic level. Some materials exhibit a property known as the photoelectric effect that causes them to absorb photons of light and release electrons. When these free electrons are captured‚ electric current results that can be used as electricity. Solar cells produce direct current

Gravity is the force that keeps objects close to the earth Not only does gravity keep objects close to the earth it also keeps the solar system revolving the sun Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton Acceleration of objects that is due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s Also‚ according to Mr. Newton’s First Law‚ once the egg was moving‚ it didn’t want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg’s fall‚ providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken

There are a number of hydro power stations in Malaysia peninsular that contribute to the total of 1911 (MW) and few more in Sabah and Sarawak. This contributes to 6.3% of total energy generation in Malaysia. Bakun Dam with the capacity of 2400 MW is under construction and will increase the percentage of hydro energy generation. Solar is another potential renewable energy that available in Malaysia. As a tropical

How The Scientist Discover The Interior Of The Earth Two ways that Scientist may study and find the interior of the Earth are with Meteorites and Magnetic Fields. The scientist may use meteorites to discover the interior of the Earth’s earlier solar system by studying the meteorites that arrived on the Earth. The scientist might use magnetic fields by the science advances which involves measuring the ocean and coming up with a hypothesis. Therefore‚ the meteorites and the magnetic fields all

Comet-A comet is a relatively small solar system body that orbits the Sun. When close enough to the Sun they display a visible coma (a fuzzy outline or atmosphere due to solar radiation) and sometimes a tail. Asteroid-Asteroids are small solar system bodies that orbit the Sun. Made of rock and metal‚ they can also contain organic compounds. Asteroids are similar to comets but do not have a visible coma (fuzzy outline and tail) like comets do. They have also been called planetoids‚ especially the

untouched resource. With this power crisis in front of the Philippines‚ to look for a plausible answer to the problem requires us to think outside the box‚ look around and search for the most suitable power source for us. We’ve tapped geothermal energy‚ solar energy‚ and wind energy; and at the end of the list‚ we have no choice but to look at nuclear power. This paper explains why it is not so much a bad idea to spend time and money for nuclear energy. The suitability of one form of energy for a country

it makes Khilyuk and Chilingar (2006) look like Einstein’s special theory of relativity in comparison. So anyway‚ I decided to go all Climate Audit on this paper partly to get a handle on the solar influence on climate that denialists are always on about (there is actually some decent literature on solar forcing‚ though obviously this paper isn’t part of that)‚ and partly because it is so shockingly bad it’s humorous in the way troma movies are. Firstly‚ some background. In a rather silly post
