... and debris left around from the nebula that formed them. Early during this formation, Mercury probably differentiated into a dense metallic core, and a silicate crust. After the intense bombardment period, lava flowed across the surface and covered the older crust. By this time much of the debris had been swept up and Mercury entered a lighter bombardment period. During this period the intercrater plains formed. Then Mercury cooled. Its core contracted which in turn broke the crust and produced the prominent lobate scarps. During the third stage, lava flooded the lowlands and produced the smooth plains. During ...

... and residential combustion processes. These pollutants come from the use of coal in the production of electricity, from smelting, and from the internal combustion engines in most cars. Once released into the atmosphere, they are converted into such pollutants as nitric acid and sulfuric acid, both dissolving easily in water. This results in acidic water droplets that can be carried by prevailing winds, returning to Earth as acid rain, snow, or fog. This effects the lakes by changing the pH balance. As the water pH approaches 6, crustaceans, insects, and plankton begin to disappear. When the pH is slightly ...

... things as war, secrecy, faceless social disaffection, and public powerlessness. Soon enough it could be goodbye to dangerous stress, tobacco, burgers, serial killings, muggings, and smog. Times change. Many of today’s accepted virtues might one day be judged as crimes against humanity and nature, which leads to the question: What kind of world do you want to live in? Our ancient habit is to stumble backwards into the future. We feel that we as individuals make little difference, as if history and the future just happen at us. Obscure plans, which have guided people forward in the past, have now rendered t ...

... made of water, ammonia, methane, and carbon dioxide. Various forms of energy broke down these primary components, and formed amino acids. Eventually, these amino acids drifted into the sea, and combined to form proteins. In this way, the ocean became an "organic soup". Eventually, the proteins in this "organic soup" joined, a membrane grew around the proteins, and the first complete cell was formed (Dawkins 16). According to evolution, this process was the beginning of life. But, there are minimal chances that this organic soup would form. Consider the experiment of Stanley Miller. In 1953, Stanley Miller pas ...

... Externally, oregano was used on skin irritations to cease the itch. The French included it in soaps and pomades. The Greeks crowned newlyweds with oregano and planted it on graves as well as using the herb medically. Oregano’s German name, wurstkraut, reveals its use of seasoning sausages. The English used oregano for perfumes, washing waters, and used it for dyes to turn wool purple and linen reddish brown. In good health and quality, oregano should have good color, even sized leaf pieces and a fresh aromatic aroma. The leaves of oregano are very aromatic, slightly pointed and hairy. The flowers are white, and ...

... porter regarding a double rape-murder case. As it turns out, this boy proved to be "the first murderer to be cleared as a result of DNA fingerprinting". (Joe Mickel and John F. Fischer, 1998) DNA can be found in such things as blood and semen. It can also be found in such things as tissue found beneath the fingernails of a victim after a struggle, it can even be found in saliva cells left on a mouthpiece of a telephone after a conversation. DNA is everywhere in a persons body, and can not be replicated. It is unique to every person, but all blood relatives have similar qualities that make them identifiable. ...

... the two passages. These passages exemplify that a single subject, under varying conditions, can be seen and portrayed using differing style and rhetoric. Mellville's passage uses allusions, analogies, and comparisons to well- known entities to better illustrate the Galapagos Islands to the common reader. Mellville assumes that the reader is unfamiliar with the Galapagos islands, or "Encantadas," as he chooses to refer to them as and paints a picture of the Galapagos Islands using everyday terms. An important part of Mellville's style is that the he never directly describes the islands. "Take five-and-twenty he ...

... compartmental barrier essential for a cell or organelles correct functioning, and thus its survival. Introduction. Biological membranes surround all living cells, and may also be found surrounding many of an eukaryotes organelles. The membrane is essential to the survival of a cell due to its diverse range of functions. There are general functions common to all membranes such as control of permeability, and then there are specialised functions that depend upon the cell type, such as conveyance of an action potential in neurones. However, despite the diversity of function, the structure of membranes ...

... class, should at one point include evolution, because that is what evolution is, a science. Although to truly understand evolution in its fullest context, one must not look to a dictionary, for dictionary definitions just are too vague. One of the most respected evolutionary biologists has defined biological evolution as follows: "In the broadest sense, evolution is merely change, and so is all-pervasive; galaxies, languages, and political systems all evolve. Biological evolution ... is change in the properties of populations of organisms that transcend the lifetime of a single individual. The ontogeny of an in ...

... know what they experience through senses, what we learn through our senses is not Wisdom. The reason behind this was Aristotle knew that knowledge obtained through the senses can only tell a person the "that" of anything and not the "why;" for example; We all know "that" fire is hot but do we know "why." We also know "that" water is wet but "why" is it wet. These were questions that nobody obtained the answers to but Aristotle was determined to know, and having this type of knowledge would truly earn the title of PAGE 1 Wisdom. Now finding the knowledge and answers would be very difficult but Aristotle believed wh ...
