There have two theories about formation of the Hawaiian Islands. Unlike other volcanoes on the Earth, the Hawaiian chain sits squarely in the middle of the Pacific plate rather than on a tectonic boundary. In 1969, “hotspot theory” was purposed by J. Tuzo Wilson to explain this unusual placement. Wilson proposed that the linear geography of the Hawaiian Islands is due to the movement of the Pacific plate over a stationary point of great heat from deep within the Earth. The great heat from this

On January 18, 2015, the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts played in the AFC Championship game in a chilly temperature of 51°F. The Patriots were accused of cheating when, at half time, 11 of their 12 game balls were found to be two pounds psi less than the regulation size of 12.5 to 13.5 psi. Although the balls are gauged 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to the game, they are returned to the teams before the game started.

Over the past summer many sports fans have either watched, talked, or listened about the major NFL conflict known as “Deflategate”.

Deflategate all started when text messages between the New England Patriots starting Quarterback, Tom Brady, and Patriots equipment staff leaked to the media. These text messages occurred before a division

Alfred Wegener and Continental drift It was 1912, and one man named Alfred Wegener was studying a map. He believed that the world looked as though it were one big puzzle, and that the continents could fit together. Then he thought that maybe, a very long time ago, they did. He hatched up a hypothesis. Simply put, his hypothesis proposed that the continents had once been joined, and over time had drifted apart. When the continents were together, he called the supercontinent Pangea. In order

associated theories of continental drift and sea floor spreading. There are a few handfuls of major plates and dozens of minor plates. Seven of the major plates are named for the continents, such as African, Antarctic, North American, Eurasian, Indo Australian , Pacific and South American. Plate Tectonics explains why earth quakes and volcanoes are concentrated on specific

I was never a fan of flying. It’s not that I’m afraid of heights or anything, it’s just the idea of flying. Launching up into the sky, by an airplane specifically, is quite scary, if you think about it. Just imagine every possible way something could go wrong. The plane could get stuck in a storm and crash. It could also run out of fuel and no one knows it, that would also make the plane crash. Maybe the plane won’t fly high enough, and it could even hit a building! All of these result in you falling

Did you know that around 218 million people die each year from natural disasters? Some people don’t even know that some of the common natural disasters can possibly happen in their very own back yard. These disasters are way more powerful than they may seem; they can tear down houses, wipe out forests, and split the earth's crust in half. I bet you wish there was a way to stop the terrible disasters from killing all of these innocent people but, sadly, you can't. Scientist can predict when some of

The theory of plate tectonics was formulated in the 1960’s, to provide a realistic and complete idea of the processes that produce the Earth’s surface. These plates make up the Earth’s strong outer layer, the lithosphere. “This layer is about 100km thick, which includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.” (Rafferty, 2010) Before the late 1960’s, geologists held the perspective that all the continents and ocean basins were in fixed positions. However this view was quickly dismissed, as

According to the textbook, Alfred Wegner proposed the idea that the continents were drifting across the globe. He called this idea the continental drift. He had the idea that the continents were once together forming one big landmass named Pangaea. As Pangaea developed it caused the continent to break apart, and drift to their present locations. To be able to prove this idea however, he had to have evidence to show it was true. If I could travel back in time to help Wegner prove his idea to be true

This applies to every aspect of life. The main aspects are showing compassion, building relationships due to loyalty, and overall respecting others. These crucial characteristics allow for a better way of life and to overall become better human beings socially while being religiously by obeying one out of the ten commandments

University’s community or the general Philadelphia area. It would bring me great joy to be a part of an Alpha Phi Alpha project that would include reaching out to the youth of Philadelphia.

I also feel that the members of Alpha Phi Alpha Incorporated take special

Girls Will Be Boys and Boys Will Be Girls: Gender Confusion and Compulsory Heterosexuality in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Miller’s Tale On the surface, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Miller’s Tale is a traditional fabliau, a bawdy tale of trickery, mistaken identity, and plenty of sex, designed to titillate and amuse the reader. The characters are typical of the trope: the effeminate buffoon, the lecherous lodger, the foolish husband, and his lusty wife. However, a closer reading, and application of the
