How the Earth’s climate has changed in the Past few Decades Throughout history, the climate of the earth has continued to change. In the last 650,000 years, for example, several series of glacial retreat and advancements have been experienced, leading to the end of the ice age that happened 7000 years ago and the start of the contemporary climatic era. As such, many of the climate changes can be associated with small differences in the earth’s orbit, which in turn affect the amount of solar energy the earth receives. On the other hand, the earth has been experiencing an unprecedented level of global warming which has primarily been caused by human activities since the mid-20th century. This paper, therefore, seeks to explore how the earth’s climate has changed over the last few decades, the main factors that have contributed to this issue, and possible solutions that can be adopted to eradicate the problems caused by climate change. First off, the earth’s surface temperatures have increased significantly rising by approximately 0.9 degrees, which is about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit. This was…

What contributed to the Arabs conquering all other nations without being defeated? What prompted Stillman to write about Jews in Arab Lands was his perception of how reason should be the sole arbiter that should be permitted to rule all the world affairs. He says that, if it were not for reason, people would not have accepted to follow apostles and prophets, and neither would they have accepted to believe ancestors and elders nor the truth that came down from them. Stillman further perceives that, if the dictates of reason were the bases used by people to adhere to religions inherited by their forefathers or even following the prophets, the rule of reason should then be granted all that pertains to that. The intended audience that Stillman targeted was not only scholars but the general audience, and most especially rulers and leaders who used their powers and differences as excuses to oppress others and more so if they were a weaker group. The Arabs, for example, Most of their claims and actions, were that they followed the wills and instructions…
Do Water Filters Remove Fluoride? Fluoride is a harmful e. In some cases you may find the chemical compounds in plants. It gets into plants through absorption using the roots. Most of the time, you will hear people taking about fluoride in water. This is because many municipalities add controlled amount of fluoride in water through a process known as water fluoridation. They do this to prevent tooth decay. The reason for this is because tooth decay is a major issue many developed countries especially among children. Even though it prevents tooth decay, it also comes at a price. The price in this case is devastating effects caused by fluoridation. To help you understand better, let us look at this chemical we call fluoride and everything around it. Fluoride For you to understand this thing called fluoride, you need some background information on ions. An ion is a molecule or atom that has an electrical charge. Ions exist in two forms. One of these forms in positively charge s and the other one is negatively charged. The positively charged ion…
Live speaker. I attended an event at Sheraton Seattle hotel, which was sponsored by Microsoft. The speech was about environmental conservation and was delivered by Magda Havash, an environmentalist professor. Her theme was about the current change of climate that has led to global warming in the world. She emphasized an environmental conversation through the planting of trees and the use of renewable sources of energy. Her demonstration of climate change using data dating from 2000 shows that the world is at a high risk of global warming. The recent activities of events like a forest fire that was experienced in Australia depict large destruction of trees, which contributes to a plentiful percentage of oxygen. She emphasized mass tree plantation, whereby people should consider trees that are environmentally friendly. She gave examples of renewable sources of energy like solar panels and windmills, which are environmentally friendly. She stated that the use of fossil fuels contributes to the larges pollution in the word. Therefore, people should consider the use of electric cars and machines. She used pictorial charts that contained parts…
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY Depression is mostly characterized by low moods, feelings of sadness, loneliness, and lack of interest. The majority of people who suffer from it report that there was a stressful event that triggered those particular feelings (Nemade, 2019). Early episodes of depression, if not controlled, predisposes a person to develop future depression episodes that can be triggered even with a small series of daily hassles. Stressful experiences which not necessarily have to be negative can trigger a depressive episode. In a society full of people who interact daily, certain events could lead to depression. Factors such as the death of a loved one, especially the death of a parent or a spouse, can cause a mental breakdown to some people. Other factors include marital issues such as an affair or an abusive relationship. Retrenchment, homelessness either due to poverty or a natural disaster, violent families, breakups, and loss of friendships, feeling inferior due to lack of control in life. Recently with the rise of advanced technology and social media, a lot of social isolation has been witnessed. People…
Introduction to Plate Tectonics with Google Earth introduction The unifying framework used for comprehending the Earth’s dynamic geology is termed as plate tectonics. The proposition suggests that the upper mantle and the crust comprise the Earth’s brittle lithosphere which is divided into several thin plates. And these plates move to the middle mantle or the upper part of the asthenosphere which even though is a solid, still flow plastically over geologic time scale. Most of the tectonic actions such as volcanoes or earthquakes often happen where plates come in contact either at convergent, transform or divergent boundaries because plates interiors are substantially stable. Therefore, the following report elaborates on plate tectonics using Google Earth of topographic patterns, seismic patterns, volcano patterns, plate boundaries, and plate motion. Topography above and below sea level In order to significantly comprehend the plate tectonics of topographic pattern, it is vital to understand if mountains are distributed randomly all over the Earth, or they follow a particular design such as linear chains, arcs or even clusters. Although the mountain occurs randomly upon the separate continents,…
