seafloor spreading hypothesis
T_1667
FIGURE 1.1 Magma at the mid-ocean ridge creates new seafloor. Since new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, either Earth is getting bigger (which it is not) or oceanic crust must be destroyed somewhere. Since the oldest oceanic crust was found at the edges of the trenches, Hess hypothesized that the seafloor subducts into Earths interior at the trenches to be recycled in the mantle.

the diagram below shows the earth's seasons. During part of the year, Earth is closer to the sun than at other times. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are having winter when Earth is closest to the sun and summer when it is farthest away! Compared with how far away the sun is, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not make much difference to our weather's Earth orbits the sun, its tilted axis always points in the same direction. So, throughout the year, different parts of Earth get the sunó»s direct rays.

The earth revolves around the sun. Its takes one year to make one full revolution. This diagram shows different configurations of the earth and the sun over the course of one year that lead to the four prominent seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. Since the earth is inclined at an angle of 23.5 degrees, at certain times of the year, the northern hemisphere gets longer days and shorter nights, which causes the season of summer. At the same time the southern hemisphere gets shorter days and longer nights, which leads to winter. June 21 is the longest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere, and is known as the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. December 22 is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and is known as the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

The diagram below shows the earth's seasons. During part of the year, Earth is closer to the sun than at other times. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are having winter when Earth is closest to the sun and summer when it is farthest away! Compared with how far away the sun is, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not make much difference to our weather. Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day. That is why we have day and night, and why every part of Earth's surface gets some of each.

The diagram shows the earth's equinox phenomenon. An equinox is an astronomical event in which the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun which occurs twice each year during spring and autumn as shown below. On an equinox, day and night are of "approximately" equal duration all over the planet. The equinoxes, along with solstices, are directly related to the seasons of the year. In the northern hemisphere, the vernal equinox (March) conventionally marks the beginning of spring and is considered the New Year in the Persian calendar or Iranian calendars as Nouroz (means new day). On the other hand, the autumnal equinox (September) marks the beginning of autumn. In the southern hemisphere, the vernal equinox occurs in September and the autumnal equinox in March.

FIGURE 1.2 unsqueezing Earth materials as they travel. This produces a change in volume for the material. P-waves bend slightly when they travel from one layer into another. Seismic waves move faster through denser or more rigid material. As P-waves encounter the liquid outer core, which is less rigid than the mantle, they slow down. This makes the P-waves arrive later and further away than would be expected. The result is a P-wave shadow zone. No P-waves are picked up at seismographs 104o to 140o from the earthquakes focus.

the microscope
DD_0097
The image below shows the different parts of an Optical microscope. The Optical microscope is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century. Basic optical microscopes can be very simple, although there are many complex designs which aim to improve resolution and sample contrast. All modern optical microscopes designed for viewing samples by transmitted light share the same basic components of the light path. In addition, the vast majority of microscopes have the same 'structural' components. The eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a cylinder containing two or more lenses; its function is to bring the image into focus for the eye. The eyepiece is inserted into the top end of the body tube. Eyepieces are interchangeable and many different eyepieces can be inserted with different degrees of magnification.

This diagram shows the parts of a compound light microscope. The eyepiece is used to view a microscopic item placed on the stage. It can be used to view cells, bacteria, and small objects like insect wings. When holding a microscope, always use the arm and the base. Handle it carefully, as these are expensive and fragile objects. Use the condenser focus and objective lenses to make the object being viewed clearer. The course focus and fine focus can be used to adjust how close the lenses are to the stage. These focus pieces also make the image clearer.

The diagram shows the anatomy of a microscope. There are two optical systems in a compound microscope: The Ocular Lens and the Objective Lens. Eyepiece or Ocular is what you look through at the top of the microscope. Eyepiece Tube holds the eyepieces in place above the objective lens. Objective Lenses are the primary optical lenses on a microscope. They range from 4x-100x and typically, include, three, four or five on lens on most microscopes. Objectives can be forward or rear-facing. Nosepiece houses the objectives. The objectives are exposed and are mounted on a rotating turret so that different objectives can be conveniently selected. Coarse and Fine Focus knobs are used to focus the microscope. Stage is where the specimen to be viewed is placed. Stage Clips are used when there is no mechanical stage. Aperture is the hole in the stage through which the base (transmitted) light reaches the stage. Illuminator is the light source for a microscope, typically located in the base of the microscope. Condenser is used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator on to the specimen. Iris Diaphragm controls the amount of light reaching the specimen. It is located above the condenser and below the stage. Condenser Focus Knob moves the condenser up or down to control the lighting focus on the specimen.

This diagram shows the earthworm anatomy. The segmented body parts provide important structural functions. Segmentation can help the earthworm move. Each segment or section has muscles and bristles called setae. The bristles or setae help anchor and control the worm when moving through soil. The bristles hold a section of the worm firmly into the ground while the other part of the body protrudes forward. The earthworm uses segments to either contract or relax independently to cause the body to lengthen in one area or contract in other areas. Segmentation helps the worm to be flexible and strong in its movement. If each segment moved together without being independent, the earthworm would be stationary.

Flatworms are invertebrates. They belong to Phylum Platyhelminthes. There are over 25,000 species of flatworms in the world.. Not all flatworms are as long as tapeworms. Some are actually only around a millimeter in length. Flatworms reproduce sexually, in most species the individual able to provide both egg and sperm for reproduction. Flatworms go from egg, to larva to adulthood. Flatworm adaptations include mesoderm, muscle tissues, a head region, and bilateral symmetry. Flatworms are free-living heterotrophs or parasites. Roundworms are invertebrates in Phylum Nematoda. Roundworms have a pseudocoelom and complete digestive system. They are free-living heterotrophs or parasites.

The diagram shows the earthworm's internal anatomy with its key parts and definitions. An earthworm is a tube-shaped, segmented worm found in the phylum Annelida. The body of the earthworm is segmented which looks like many little rings joined or fused together. Segmentation helps the worm to be flexible and strong in its movement. An earthworm's digestive system runs through the length of its body. The digestive system consists of the mouth, the crop, the gut and the gizzard. Earthworms are hermaphrodites where each earthworm contains both male and female sex organs. Some other key features of the earthworm include its brain, which consists of a large cluster of nerve cells connected to a ventral nerve cord which runs the length of the body, and its heart, which is a set of typically five muscular swellings that pump blood through their bodies.
