51. Article: Krypton (planet)
- en2.wikipedia.org
- The entire civilization and race of Krypton perished in the explosion, except for one sole survivor: the baby Kal-El, who was placed in an escape rocket by his father Jor-El and sent to the planet Earth. ...
- Krypton (now generally known as "Old Krypton" by Superman's fans and comic book historians) was a super-advanced paradise where science ruled above all. Through the use of science, Kryptonians had freed themselves from all worries, cares, chores, and wars. ... One Superman story from the 1950s, "What if Krypton had not exploded?", depicted life in a setting that epitomized the cliche of the "future" as seen in science fiction stories of the time. ...
- This disaster also prompted the Science Council of Krypton to ban space flight completely, providing another explanation of why Krypton's civilization perished with the planet. ...
- One sole survivor of Argo City, Kara Zor-El, was sent to Earth by her scientist father to live with Superman. Kara adjusted to her new life on Earth and became known as Supergirl. ...
- He rescued it and took it to Earth with him, vowing to someday discover a way to return the city to normal size. In the early 1980s Kandor was enlarged, and its inhabitants left Earth to settle on a new planet which was named New Krypton. ...
- Krypton was approximately the size of Earth though it orbited a red sun which may be a red giant star. Located fifty light-years from Earth, Krypton maintained an isolationist stance forbidding interstellar travel until its destruction. ...
- Over 100,000 years ago Krypton had already developed scientific advancements far beyond that of present-day Earth. ...
- Jor-El attached rockets to the birthing matrix of his unborn son Kal-El and sent him from Krypton to Earth. ...

54. Article: Terraforming
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") is the process of modifying a planet, moon or other body to a more habitable atmosphere, temperature or ecology. ...
- The term first appeared in a science fiction novel, Seetee Shock (1949) by Jack Williamson, but the actual concept pre-dates this work. ...
- In the 1960s the astronomer and popularizer of science Carl Sagan proposed terraforming the planet Venus by seeding its atmosphere with algae, which would remove carbon dioxide and reduce the greenhouse effect until surface temperatures dropped to "comfortable" levels. ...
- It would take about 4×1019kg of hydrogen to convert the whole Venerian atmosphere, and the resulting water would cover about 80% of the surface compared to 70% for Earth. ...
- Venus' extremely slow rotation rate would result in extremely long days and nights, which could prove difficult for most Earth life to adapt to. ... Alternately, instead of requiring that Venus support life identical to Earth's, Earth life could instead be modified to adapt to the long Venusian day and night. ...
- Geoengineering is the deliberate modification of Earth's environment on a large scale, in a sense "terraforming" Earth itself. Currently a great deal of debate takes place over the notion that human civilization has already inadvertantly modified Earth's climate through the industrial emission of greenhouse gases, and proposals have been made to counter any such effects through further deliberate geoengineering. For example, some have proposed to put large mirrors in orbit which would modify the insolation received by Earth - either increasing or decreasing it, as the need arises. Large-scale sequestration of carbon dioxide inside geological formations or ocean sediment, modification of Earth's albedo with reflective or absorbtive materials spread over portions of its surface, or the alteration of rainfall patterns through the creation of artificial seas are other examples which have been seriously considered. ...

57. Article: Geography
- en.wikipedia.org
- Geography is the study of the locational and spatial variation in both physical and human phenomena on Earth. The word derives from the Greek words gê ("the Earth") and graphein ("to write", as in "to describe"). ...
- It not only investigates what is where on the Earth, but also why it's there and not somewhere else, sometimes referred to as "location in space". ...
- 2 Regional Science.
- The Greeks are the first known culture to actively explore geography as a science and philosophy, with major contributors including Thales of Miletus, Herodotus, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, Aristotle, Dicaearchus of Messana, Strabo, and Ptolemy. ...

- Spatial interrelationships are key to this synoptic science, and it uses maps as a key tool. ...
- This branch focuses on Geography as an Earth science, making use of biology to understand global flora and fauna patterns, and mathematics and physics to understand the motion of the earth and relationship with other bodies in the solar system. ...
- The human, or political/cultural, branch of geography - also called anthropogeography focuses on the social science, non-physical aspects of the way the world is arranged. ...
- Sustainability science has been one important outgrowth of this tradition. ...
- Cartography studies the representation of the Earth's surface with abstract symbols. ... Cartography has grown from a collection of drafting techniques into an actual science. Cartographers must learn cognitive psychology and ergonomics to understand which symbols convey information about the Earth most effectively, and behavioral psychology to induce the readers of their maps to act on the information. They must learn geodesy and fairly advanced mathematics to understand how the shape of the Earth affects the distortion of map symbols projected onto a flat surface for viewing. ...
- Geographic Information Systems deals with the storage of information about the Earth for automatic retrieval by a computer, in an accurate manner appropriate to the information's purpose. In addition to all of the other subdisciplines of geography, GIS specialists must understand computer science and database systems. ...

- The Importance of Earth Science Education.
- K-12 Earth Science plays a unique and essential role in today's rapidly changing world. It is an integrated study of the Earth's history, composition and structure, its atmosphere and oceans, and its environment in space. A knowledge of Earth Science is important because most human activities are related to interaction with the planet Earth. ...
- Basic knowledge about the Earth, then, is the key to development of an informed citizenry. The reasons for teaching Earth Science are numerous: it offers experience in a diverse range of interrelated scientific disciplines; it is closely related to the students' natural surroundings; and offers students subject matter which has direct application to their lives and the world around them. They need only step outdoors to observe and find relevance in concepts learned in the Earth Science classroom. Because it offers many opportunities to collect data, hypothesize, experiment, and draw conclusions, both within school and outside environments, Earth Science is a laboratory and activity oriented course. Earth Science integrates many principles of both physical and life sciences. It incorporates and presents concepts often not emphasized in other parts of the science curriculum, such as geologic time and the vastness of space. ...
- The teaching of Earth Science allows all students to have a better science background with pertinent information about their surroundings. ... Civilization is absolutely dependent upon utilization of Earth's energy, mineral, and human resource. Awareness of natural phenomena such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes also requires a knowledge of Earth Science. ...
- Students who study Earth Science are better prepared to discuss issues and make informed, responsible decisions. The interdisciplinary curriculum of Earth Science develops and builds on skills learned in earlier grades and closely relates to the students' everyday experiences. ... If tomorrow's adults are to make wise decisions about Earth and environmental issues, it is vital that today's students be given the opportunity to study Earth Science at all levels as an integral part of their education as well as an invaluable part of their high school experience. ...
