Life Cycle Stages Each stage of a star’s life involves some process within the star (fusion in its core, fusion in a shell, electron degeneracy, etc.) trying to prevent gravity from crushing the star into a singularity. Below is a diagram showing six stages in the life of a star with a mass identical to […]

Correlation – explain how the pattern of ocean temperatures affects evaporation — see page 92, Figure 4.17, Latent Heat of Evaporation. Identify the high and low patterns on this map and explain how this pattern of evaporation correlates to the patterns of ocean temperatures? Focus on tropical regions and polar regions to make it easier.

The surface of the moon has two main types of areas: 1. The bright colored highlands that have higher elevations and more impact craters, and 2. The darker colored low lying maria formed from volcanic eruptions on the moon where basaltic lava flooded the surface. Use the photo below to complete the following exercises. 119 […]

Scientists Agree: Global Warming is Happening and Humans are the Primary Cause Article The evidence is overwhelming. Record-breaking temperatures, humidity, and sea level rise, along with many other indicators, show that the Earth is warming fast, and that all the heat-trapping emissions we release into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels is changing our climate.

Helium is described as the second most abundant element in the universe, but I’ve heard it’s quite sparce (and even diminishing) on earth. What makes earth’s atmosphere untenable to it when it comprises so much of our stars?
