Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the Central nervous system that progresses over a period time (“NINDS,” 2015). The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Damage to the central nervous system may interfere with sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. Myelin is an insulating layer around neuron processes that serves as a protective barrier (“MedlinePlus,”2016). In the case of Multiple Sclerosis, this protective layer is permanently

Eruption”. The article discusses how new research from NASA shows a large volcano known as Arsia Mons has been inactive for about 50 million years. This was at the time of the extinction of dinosaurs. Arsia Mons, which is located just south of Mars’ equator, the last eruption was in the bowl-shaped depression on top of the volcano known as the caldera. The caldera is roughly 68 miles across and has plenty of room to hold Lake Huron in it. Scientific research revealed that Arsia Mons has 29 crust openings

tectonic activity, resulted in the convergence of numerous continental land masses, forming into two supercontinents known as Euramerica and Gondwana. Both these supercontinents assembled comparatively close to each other in a single hemisphere near the equator and were surrounded by massive oceans which resulted in the formation of subduction zones. (Sites with a high rates of earthquakes, volcanism and

rain backwoods, the atmosphere is exceptionally sticky as a result of all the precipitation, which adds up to around 250 cm for every year. The rain woods has bunches of rain since it is extremely hot and wet. This atmosphere is found close to the equator. That implies that there is more straightforward daylight hitting the land and ocean there than anyplace else. The woods are home to 80% of the world's earthbound biodiversity. Numerous calm timberlands house both coniferous and expansive leafed trees

Tornadoes and hurricanes appear to be similar in their general structure. Both are characterized by extremely strong horizontal winds swirling around the center, strong upward motion dominating the circulation with some downward motion in the center. The tangential winds far exceed the radial inflow or the vertical motion, and can cause much damage. Hurricanes always rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern), the direction of their rotation being determined by

In this essay, the impacts of climate change and possible adaptions to it will be explored for the countries Austria and Guatemala. Background info Austria is a landlocked country in Central Europe.

Discovered in 1535, the Galapagos Islands have been a place of mystery and wonder for centuries. The Galapagos Islands are a group of volcanic islands located approximately 1000 kilometers west of the South American coast on the equator. Thirteen main islands make up the island chain, along with 6 smaller islands and numerous other islets, small rocks, and pinnacles, with a total land surface area of approximately 8,000 square kilometers. The islands are known for their unique species of countless
