Saturn
... density is only 0.69 g/cu cm , which
is much less than water, indicating a very deep atmosphere and a very small
core.
Saturn is one of the giant outer planets, which are characterized
by their large size, low density, and corresponding extensive atmospheres.
Current models of the interior indicate that below the relatively thin
opaque cloud layer is an extensive, clear hydrogen-helium atmosphere. Data
on the internal heat flux, the detailed gravity field, and the observed
upper-atmosphere hydrogen-helium ratio satisfy a model of the interior
where the ratio of hydrogen to helium decreases with depth. The gas
density gradually increases downward and the gas transf ...

Aids 5
... originated in Central
Africa.
The first AIDS patients in the Americas and Europe were almost
exclusively male homosexuals. Later patients included those who used
unsterilized intravenous needles to inject drugs; hemophiliacs (persons with a
blood-clotting disorder) and others who had received blood transfusions;
females whose male sexual partners had AIDS; and the children of parents
with AIDS. However since 1989, heterosexual sex was found to be the
fastest growing means of transmission of the virus, with 90 percent of the
new cases coming from heterosexual sex.
How AIDS Is Spread
AIDS is transmitted by direct contact of the bloodstream w ...

Chemistry Hits The Beach
... lotions are, usually, sunscreens or sunblocks, meant to protect us from the blisters, the pain, and in general to keep our youthful glow lasting just a few years longer.
A sunguard is a cream designed to protect one's skin from being sunburned. Our bodies are incrementally damaged by each new exposure to the sun, and this damage can later be seen in the form of wrinkles, blotchy skin and even skin cancer. Sunscreens have evolved a goodly amount over the years. Christopher Columbus noticed in 1492 that the natives of Hispaniola would protect themselves with red paint, as to avoid sun damage. The ancient Greeks, who trained for the Olympics in the nude would rub ...

Deep Ocean Trenches
... Precision measurements reveal that the force of gravity generally is lower than normal. Small quantities of brown or red clay, which are signs of organic remains, volcanic ash and lapilli, and coarse, graded layers are found in the trench. Large amounts of remains cannot build up because they either are dragged into the Earth's interior or are distorted into folded masses and molded into new material of the continents.
Deep trench in the sea bed indicating the presence of a destructive margin (produced by the movements of plate tectonics). The dragging downwards of one plate of the lithosphere beneath another means that the ocean floor is pulled down. Ocean t ...

Atmosphere Crisis
... have discovered a hole in the ozone layer. The ozone layer is the only protection for life on Earth against deadly ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Once the ozone layer is completely destroyed, all life on Earth will cease to exist, killed by the deadly radiation. The planet will become a barren rock devoid of all life.
Global warming is the predicted result of the greenhouse effect, created by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere. The increase in these gases is thought to be caused by industrialization, especially by the use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. These gases act much like the glass in the greenh ...

Is There Life On Mars
... God (or some form of deity)
Created the Universe by divine power, and that the above mentioned complexities could only be achieved by a Supreme Being.
The age of Mars has been reported to be between 3.6 billion and 1.3 billion years old, "depending on who you ask" (Erjavec, 1). These ages come from the estimated ages of meteorites found on Earth that are believed to have originated on Mars (Meteorites from Mars, 1). The meteorites were dated using radiometric dating methods (Erjavec, 1).
The most widely accepted theory of life on Mars is that of the recently conceived primitive, or microscopic, life may have existed on early Mars. "A NASA research team at the ...

Superconductivity
... equal numbers of protons and electrons making the atoms electrically
neutral. If this balance is disturbed by gain or loss of electrons, the atoms
will become electrically charged and are called ions. Electrons occupy energy
states. Each level requires a certain amount of energy. For an electron to move
to a higher level, it will require the right amount of energy. Electrons can
move between different levels and between different materials but to do that,
they require the right amount of energy and an "empty" slot in the band they
enter. The metallic conductors have a lot of these slots and this is where the
free electrons will head when voltage (energy) is applied. ...

Nuclear Power In Ontario
... NPD began supplying the province of Ontario with its first nuclear generated electricity. Ontario had found it’s new source of electricity, and they were not fully aware consequences that would happen after many years of use. Power projects (later AECL CANDU), based in Toronto. Ontario and Montreal, Quebec became responsible for implementing AECL’s nuclear power program and marketing CANDU reactors. Nuclear power was cheap, if you did not have to worry about the waste. This was the answer to Ontario’s power problems, so they invested in the newest source of power at the time.
Most people believed that nuclear power was a good change in Ontario& ...

Breast Cancer
... undifferentiated cells in the area of the breast in women. The earliest changes occur in the epithelial cells of the terminal end buds (TEB) of the breast milk ductal system. While the outlining steps of are unknown, the cells
in the breast trigger a reaction of cell reproduction. These new cancer cells form tumors. If cancer cells are active or are considered malign, the tumor grows at tremendous speeds, and may end up in metastasis. Metastasis is a complex process in which cells break away from their primary tumors, and via the blood supply or through the lymph system relocate into other organs, thus spreading cancer throughout the body if left untreat ...

Hysteria
... is] a condition where a group of people dash about wildly, screaming and sometimes talking as if another person is in them; experiencing rapid breathing, spasms of extremities or even fainting”(Hayes 1). In some ways, it can be look on as a chain reaction. “It is often caused by new problems that worsen existing difficulties”(TWHSTSV 2). When one person sees another running about wildly and finds out what the cause is, he or she will do the same; until eventually the idea spreads to the entire population. Some problems that cause these are “overly strict regulations, lack of open communication between the authorities and the resident ...
