keep your cool and force them to explain themselves. its the same arguement i use to argue with religious fanatics. without evidence, there is no arguement. A. Bullying of scientists which causes them to make up data : with this arguement, ask them simply "who created the theory then? If everyone was bullied into it, how did it come about in the first place?" B. Urban heat islands, even though I have posted many articles that deal with this supposed problem. : idk what this is, so i can't argue for or against it.

you dont need ritalin to do that ._.

such as? I'm not being facetious, i am legitimately interested.

wow. I completely missed that.

who spelled awesome wrong?

yeah, i can see your point. I would volunteer to be the mod for the board, but i suppose that isnt really the main reason. You're right, i dont really see that many threads pertaining to earth sciences, and the ones that are seem to fit correctly in the board that they are placed in.

there's at least two threads open about the subject, and more than a few members who think it to be a good idea. I know that isnt really demand, but it would really help to clear this prblem up.

anybody have any good quotes from some important people? I like whipping out quotes to prove points, but every once and a while i draw a blank.

nano science isn't a large enough field to call for an entirely new board. Earth science, on the other hand, is pretty important. but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen, since the admins don't really care enough to make it a priority.

there is already an astronomy board somewhere.

i kind of wish there was an earth science or geology board/forum too. most people i've seen go to the ecology section with those kinds of questions, though.

A supernova? Well, being that they are less powerful than a gamma ray burst, i would expect it to be even less likely. The star would have to be much closer, and we would probably still be experiencing the effects today. Personally, i don't buy into the GRB or SN theory. I think climate change would be the most probable answer. But you never know

mine stays the same:-(

The Ordovician–Silurian extinction events are currently being intensively studied; the most commonly accepted theory is that they were triggered by the onset of a long ice age, perhaps the most severe glacial age of the Phanerozoic, in the Hirnantian faunal stage that ended the long, stable greenhouse conditions typical of the Ordovician. The event was preceded by a fall in atmospheric CO2, which selectively affected the shallow seas where most organisms lived. As the southern supercontinent Gondwana drifted over the South Pole, ice caps formed on it. The strata have been detected in late Ordovician rock strata of North Africa and then-adjacent northeastern South America, which were south-polar locations at the time. Glaciation locks up water from the world-ocean, and the interglacials free it, causing sea levels repeatedly to drop and rise; the vast shallow intra-continental Ordovician seas withdrew, which eliminated many ecological niches, then returned, carrying diminished founder populations lacking many whole families of organisms. Then they withdrew again with the next pulse of glaciation, eliminating biological diversity at each change). In the North African strata, Julien Moreau reported five pulses of glaciation from seismic sections. This incurred a shift in the location of bottom-water formation, shifting from low latitudes, characteristic of greenhouse conditions, to high latitudes, characteristic of icehouse conditions, which was accompanied by increased deep-ocean currents and oxygenation of the bottom-water. An opportunistic fauna briefly thrived there, before anoxic conditions returned. The breakdown in the oceanic circulation patterns brought up nutrients from the abyssal waters. Surviving species were those that coped with the changed conditions and filled the ecological niches left by the extinctions. Gamma ray burst hypothesis Scientists from the University of Kansas and NASA have suggested that the initial extinctions could have been caused by a gamma ray burst originating from an hypernova within 6,000 light years of Earth (within a nearby arm of the Milky Way Galaxy). A ten-second burst would have stripped the Earth's atmosphere of half of its ozone almost immediately, causing surface-dwelling organisms, including those responsible for planetary photosynthesis, to be exposed to high levels of ultraviolet radiation. This would have killed many species and caused a drop in temperatures. While plausible, there is no unambiguous evidence that such a nearby gamma ray burst has ever actually occurred. One method would be to search the Moon for uneven exposure to gamma rays. Adrian L. Melott estimated that gamma ray bursts from "dangerously close" supernova explosions occur two or more times every billion years, and this has been proposed as the cause of the end-Ordovician extinction. The gamma ray burst theory sounds very unlikely. Seeing as how a gamma ray burst is the most powerful event in the universe, i wouldn't count on it being the best explaination.

lol.

it's not like it's the worst thing ever. so what, everyone gets to see your daughter's nude pics. its her own fault, and it not like anyone is really gonna care.

its a darwin fish with a santa hat. And btw, my school is on the high end of these statistics. I would say probably 65-70% of the students are involved or have been involved in sexting.

For a teenage girl, a month without a phone is a month without friends. I know the feeling (minus the girl part). Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged also, the ability to make it available to all your friends. if i get a pic, i can have it on the internet and around the school/web/world in a matter of minutes.

well, you can't assume every teenager is going to do it. But you cant also assume that every teenager is not. I guess it's a personal choice on the parent's part. From my perspective, it doesn't seem nearly as bad. But I can also see where a parent would have a problem. oh well.

good luck. i've never heard of such a program.

um, being of that age, i can tell you that most teens do get involved in 'sexting'. in fact, you would be hard pressed to find someone at my school who doesn't.

HOST ROCK: the body of rock surrounding an ore body. means the geologic medium in which the waste is emplaced, specifically the geologic materials that directly encompass and are in close proximity. Rock which serves as a host for other rocks or for mineral deposits.

But founder's effect only works if there's enough specimens to survive the inbreeding. Thats the point i was trying to make.

This is how i see it. Stress itself is not the symptom, it is the environmental stimulus that bringing about the physical and emotional changes, such as anxiety or depression.

psychosomatic symptoms are very common. but using your mind to make you feel better? thats all hypothetical, since you can't prove your mindset is what is actually making you feel better.
