Hurricanes HURRICANES Hurricanes are the Earth’s strongest tropical cyclones. People are in constant danger of natural disasters and hurricanes cause a great deal of destruction. There are several factors that are a necessity for a hurricane to exist, throughout this paper these factors will be discussed in detail on how they pertain to the inner workings of a hurricane. This paper w

Hurricanes One can never overreact to an act of mother-nature, especially hurricanes. Hurricanes can blow at speeds of 130 to 150 miles per hour, which is one reason why they should never be disregarded. Areas near the Gulf of Mexico have experienced roughly 24 hurricanes since the turn of the century. People should take heed to hurricanes because of the media, fatalities caused by past

Insects Insects are the most successful animal on earth, and their ability to fly is a large contributor to this fact. Flying allows them to travel great distances in relatively short time intervals. Finding food, mates and favorable habitats as well as avoiding predation are some advantages of flying. It may sound easy to describe how insects fly, however it really is not easy at all

Insomnia Insomnia Insomnia is commonly known as an abnormal wakefulness or the inability to get an adequate amount of sleep (“Insomnia,” 1993). The difficulty can be in falling asleep, remaining asleep, or both (Newton, 2000). Insomnia is a very common condition that probably affects most people at one time or another (Newton, 2000). Insomnia is the most common complaint among sleepi

Insulating Fabrics “What fabric insulates the best against wind'” I’m doing this for my science fair project. I chose to do this because when I’m in the wind I’m always cold. When you look outside and it is windy you want to wear something that will keep you insulated. The information I gather can keep you insulated in the wind. I will be testing six different fabrics three times.

Is Nuclear Power Worth The Risk' Is nuclear power worth the risk' This question has been the topic of discussion time and time again. Usually it will be brought up more often after a type of nuclear scare, or disaster. First off nuclear power consists of about twenty percent of the worlds power supply, with(as of 1993) four hundred plants worldwide with one hundred and nine of them b

Brazillian Pepper “The word ‘exotic’ has always called to mind visions of the fascinating, unusual, curious, sophisticated, and even the bizarre (Kramer, 1998:5). This term seems to allure people to investigate, comprehend, and even collect exotic paraphernalia-including plants. The phrase “exotic plant” does sound glamorous, but not to the native plants in Florida. Native plants live w

Jackalope THE REAL ANIMAL BEHIND THE "HORNS". Myths are stories told to entertain the mind. These mythological stories have evolved over the years by our ancestors. Like any story told over a long period of time, it is altered, but rarely are these myths proven to be true. One mythological story about a jackrabbit and an antelope is proven by researchers to be partly true. This mytho

Chemical Reaction Activity Acids and bases play a central role in chemistry because, with the exception of redox reactions, every chemical reaction can be classified an as acid-base reaction. Our understanding of chemical reactions as acid-base interactions comes from the wide acceptance of the Lewis definition of acids and bases, which supplanted both the earlier Bronsted-Lowry concept

Inventiveness Did you ever wonder why rocks dissolve over generations or why chalk disappears in certain liquids' Well so did I until I came up with an inventive experiment to figure it out. I wanted to figure out why an acid would react with a base. I had to think of a way to demonstrate this. However, this experiment obviously couldn’t involve rocks dissolving because I didn’t want to
