In the southern hemisphere the usual path of the hurricane is initially to the southwest and subsequently to the southeast. Hurricanes travel at varying rates. In the lower latitudes the rate ranges from 8 to 32 km/hr and in the higher latitudes it may increase to as much as 80 km/hr. Those areas in which the hurricane winds ...
- 2072: Human Cloning Isn't as Scary as It Sounds
- ... legal ban would be least likely to deter. But more important, a legal barrier might well make cloning appear more promising than it is to a much larger group of people.

- ... stones - will interact. Mathematical modeling is the key, but not the only modeling process used for systems. The word nonlinear has to do with understanding mathematical models used to describe systems. Before the growth of interest in nonlinear systems, most models were analyzed as though they were linear systems meaning that when the mathematical formulas representing the behavior of the systems were put into a graph form, the results looked like ...
- 2076: Lamarck's Influence on the Development of Darwin's Theory of Evolution
- ... up with an idea that supported the topic as a whole, not necessarily Lamarck's view. Darwin proceeded to try and improve upon Lamarck's theory when the idea of use and disuse became of interest to him.

- ... was not resolved (1:195). There are benefits using animals in school like the previous case. It gives students opportunities for detailed function and observations of the structure. When studied in school an increase in interest and motivation to study living animals is provided. It also stimulates children's creative ability and encourages appreciation towards animals. Finally, it contributes to the personal development of students. Thus a responsibility for animals and ...
- 2079: Nuclear Energy and the Environment
- ... electricity. It should also be noted that there is also a sharp jump in consumer costs when the plants are turned on to pay for the construction costs, plant manufacturers or other loan sources, plus interest. Thus, the cost of electricity may go up three-fold. New plants usually supply substantially more energy than the area requires; meaning that the consumer will be paying for this waste of energy, which is ...
- 2080: Hemp
- ... methanol. Methanol makes a good automobile fuel and is often used in professional automobile races. It has the potential to replace gasoline as a regularly-used automobile fuel. It would not be in the best interest of Canada to continue in the direction we're heading. The cost to clean up waste from fossil fuel production and use with large tax breaks going to these archaic forms of energy, leaves the ...
