Solar System - Facts and Information about the Planets and Solar System - 0 views

  • At the heart of the solar system is our sun. The four planets nearest it are rocky, terrestrial worlds — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. After that are four gas giants — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter lies the asteroid belt, which includes the dwarf planet Ceres. Beyond the orbit of Neptune one finds the disk-shaped Kuiper belt, in which dwarf planet Pluto resides, and far beyond that is the giant, spherical Oort Cloud and the teardrop-shaped heliopause. See the structure of the solar system (infographic).

Why is the Sky Blue - Space Black - Sunset Red? - 0 views

  • In space, there is no air. Because there is nothing for the light to bounce off, it just goes straight. None of the light gets scattered, and the "sky" looks dark and black.

      In the space there is no air because there is no particles or molecules for it to bounce and scattered so it has no color so it is just dark. And the sky looks dark,black in the night. Because there is no sun and the sun gives light to the molecules and particles.

Animal Habitat Requirements of Wildlife - 1 views

  • Habitat for any wild animal must provide: cover (shelter) from weather and predators; food and water for nourishment; and space to obtain food, water, and to attract a mate.

      Animals of course decide to live were they know they have all the necessary things. Once they are adapted to their habitat, they certainly know there are beasts they should protect from.
  • South Carolina does not have pronghorn antelope because we do not have the wide-open spaces that these animals require.
    • morales5853
       
      All animals only live were they have their own space and security thats why elephants don' t live in the forest were there are many trees instead they live in Africa in the open space.
  • Wildlife do need things in their environment to hide under, but cover also includes having something to hide behind, or some type of obstruction between the animal and a potential predator.
    • morales5853
       
      If a animal is being chased by his predator, he can cover itself with the predator of the animal that is chasing him and he can be safe only if the animal that he is hiding with doesn't eat him.

  • If a landowner removes or changes the amount or specific type of cover available to wildlife in that area, the local wildlife population may be affected. If a landowner decides to allow a forested property to mature, bobwhite quail populations may decline because feeding, nesting, and brood cover have been removed.

Why is the sky blue? :: NASA's The Space Place - 0 views

  • Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time

      The blue light is sometimes scattered more than the other colors because all the molecules or particles that are in the atmosphere go in all directions and the wavelength is shorter and it has smaller waves so thats why the sky is blue most of the time.

This House believes wild animals should not be kept in captivity | idebate.org - 0 views

  • Zoos are premises for the captivity of animals, often in urban areas where many of the animals would not otherwise be found, with the intention of studying the animals and displaying them to the public at large. The predecessor of the zoo was the menagerie, which involved the captivity of birds typically for the entertainment of the aristocracy, and has a long history running back to ancient times. The first modern zoo evolved out of an aristocratic menagerie in Vienna in 1765. Many types of zoo now exist, from the petting zoos that encourage the public to get up and close with the animals to the large nature reserves that provide space for the animals to roam around within and most famously the large, urban zoos like the London Zoo which include elephants, lions and penguins and are usually notable tourist drawcards for the cities concerned. Proponents argue that zoos are beneficial both to the animals themselves, protecting endangered species with specific breeding programs, and the public, as an educational tool to increase both awareness and understanding. Opponents respond that the removal of wild animals from their habitat is wrong, that they should be left in their natural surroundings and not used as tools for public entertainment. Show less

Cysticercosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Cysticercosis is a tissue infection caused by the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium).[1] People may have little or no symptoms for years, develop approximately one to two centimeter painless solid bumps in the skin and muscles, or have neurological symptoms if the brain is affected.[1][2] After months or years these bumps can become painful and swollen then resolve.[2] When cysts form in the brain it is known as neurocysticercosis.[3] In the developing world this is one of the most common cause of seizures.[2]
  • The disease is usually spread by eating foods or water that contains the tapeworm's eggs.[1] The foods most commonly believed to be the cause are uncooked vegetables.
  • Taeniasis is due to eating cysts in poorly cooked pork.

  • Preventing the infection involves: cooking pork well, proper toilets and improved access to clean water.
  • In some cases, cysticerci may be found in the globe, extraocular muscles, and subconjunctiva. Depending on the location, they may cause visual difficulties that fluctuate with eye position, retinal edema, hemorrhage, a decreased vision or even a visual loss.[7][12]
  • Subcutaneous cysts are in the form of firm, mobile nodules, occurring mainly on the trunk and extremities.[13] Subcutaneous
  • Cysticercosis also affects pigs and cows but rarely causes symptoms as most do not live long enough.[1] The disease has occurred in humans throughout history.[5]
  • nodules are sometimes painfu
  • Cysticerci can develop in any voluntary muscle in humans.[7] Invasion of muscle by cysticerci can cause myositis, with fever, eosinophilia, and muscular pseudohypertrophy, which initiate with muscle swelling and later progress to atrophy and fibrosis.[7] In most cases, it is asymptomatic since the cysticerci die and become calcified.
  • The term neurocysticercosis is generally accepted to refer to cysts in the parenchyma of the brain. It presents with seizures and, less commonly, headaches.[8] Cysticerca in brain parenchyma are usually 5–20 mm in diameter. In subarachnoid space and fissures, lesions may be as large as 6 cm in diameter and lobulated.

      Cysticerosis is a disease in the brain tissue that is caused by the pork tapeworm.Some people have few symptoms and some may have many for various years.People get little bumps on the skin and muscle, or you could have neurological symptoms if the brain is affected by the worm.After the years the bumps become painful and after some time they resolve.A cluster of cells then form in the brain, and that is one of the most common cause of surgeries in the world of today.The desiase is usually spread by vegetables that contain the tapeworms eggs, although it is believed that the most common cause of disease are eating uncooked vegetables.

      Some of the time, a cluster of cells form in the eye, when the globe gets infected it may suffer visual loss.The bumps often occur in the trunk and the extremities.

      There is a vaccine for pigs to try and remove Cystisercosis. These vaccines prove to be very effective, these treatments can completely destroy cysticercosis. The cure is developing but can you imagine injecting all the pigs in the world? That would require a lot of money and it would be far grater challenge finding all the pigs in the world.

      The earth is divided in 24 time zones. Time zones go north south pole  to north pole, they are meridians, They are 360 that are degrees. Thats why they are different times. They are the same minute but different hour to the west of it  and highest hour to the east. Smaller goes to west  and bigger to east. The earth rotates. Thats why the hour changes. Like the sun is up it has a different hour than when the moon is up. The earth soins 15 degrees per hour. The sun rises in L.A. at the same minute than N.Y. when it is getting dark.
