Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces through mechanical or chemical means. Mechanical weathering physically breaks rocks down without changing their chemical composition, through processes like freezing and thawing, abrasion, and exfoliation. Chemical weathering changes the minerals in rocks through reactions with oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water to form acids, resulting in processes like oxidation, carbonation, and hydrolysis. Examples of mechanical weathering include abrasion and freezing and thawing, while examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, carbonation, and hydrolysis.

The document summarizes the history of Earth based on geological evidence. Scientists have determined that early Earth had a different atmosphere composed of gases from volcanic eruptions. Over millions of years, these gases and precipitation formed oceans. Green plants then produced oxygen through photosynthesis, changing the atmosphere. Scientists use various geological features like rock layers, fossils, and radioactive dating to determine the sequence of events in Earth's history and develop a geological timescale.
Stellar nucleosynthesis and supernova nucleosynthesis produce heavier elements through nuclear fusion reactions. During the main sequence, hydrogen fuses in the proton-proton chain reaction or CNO cycle in stars. In red giant and supergiant stars, helium fuses through the triple-alpha process and alpha ladder. Supernova explosions produce very heavy elements through the rapid r-process. The slower s-process in massive stars also produces heavier elements than iron.
The document provides an overview of the structure and composition of the Earth's interior based on evidence from seismology and other studies. It describes the different layers from outer to inner as:
1) The lithosphere and crust, composed mainly of silicate rocks with densities around 3.5.
2) The mantle, extending to a depth of 2900km and divided into upper and lower zones. It has a mean density of 4.6.
3) The core, extending from 2900km to the center. It is divided into a liquid outer core and solid inner core, and has the highest densities in the Earth ranging from 10 to 13.6.

This is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about one of the Senior High School Core Subject: Earth and Life Science. It is composed of the definition of universe, and some of the theories of the origin of the Universe.
This document provides an overview of evolution on Earth from the earliest life forms to present day. It describes the major eras and events in life's history, including the earliest bacteria and multicellular organisms, the Cambrian explosion of diversification, the rise of plants and animals through the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras, several mass extinction events, and the radiation and dominance of mammals and modern species. The timeline spans from 4.5 billion years ago to the most recent ice age around 18,000 years ago.
The document summarizes the major ocean basins of the world. It describes the general characteristics of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans, including their average depths, geological features, and freshwater inputs. It also lists marginal seas surrounding each ocean and provides additional details on the largest/smallest oceans, deepest ocean trenches, saltiest seas, and historical definition of "the seven seas".
lithosphere is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. Over 70% percent of Earth's surface is covered with wate[ with the remainder consisting of continents and islands which together have many lakes and other sources of water that contribute to the hydrosphere. Earth's poles are mostly covered with ice that is the solid ice of the Antarctic ice sheet and the sea ice that is the polar ice packs. The planet's interior remains active
Climate refers to average weather conditions over a long period of time, usually 30 years. Weather describes short-term atmospheric conditions from minutes to weeks. The document discusses factors that affect climate such as latitude, elevation, ocean currents, and vegetation. Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperature, precipitation, and other climate measures over decades or longer that are threatening foods, rising sea levels, and increasing ocean acidification. The tips recommend thinking eco-friendly, planting more trees, and saving animals to help lessen climate change.
Earth Materials and Processes : EXOGENIC PROCESSSimple ABbieC
This document discusses exogenic processes that shape the Earth's surface. It describes weathering as the breakdown of rocks at or near the surface through mechanical or chemical means. Physical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through processes like freeze-thaw cycling, while chemical weathering alters rock composition through reactions with water and gases. Erosion then transports weathered materials like sand and soil through agents such as water, wind, and gravity. Mass movement involves large-scale slope movements under gravitational forces, like landslides. Together, weathering, erosion, and mass movement continuously reshape the landscape over time.
The Earth system refers to the interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes of the planet, including its land, oceans, atmosphere, poles, and natural cycles. The Earth can be viewed as a closed system, where the total amount of matter is fixed but transforms between different forms. The Earth is composed of four main subsystems - the geosphere (rocks and soil), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living things and their remains). Human lives depend on the interaction of these four subsystems.
The document discusses different types of volcanic hazards including lahars, ash fall, pyroclastic flows, volcanic gases, lava flows, and ballistic projectiles. It provides details on the characteristics and impacts of each hazard. The document instructs to conduct research on volcanic hazards from books and websites and prepare a visual aid for presentation.
The document discusses the deformation of rock crust through various tectonic processes. It defines deformation as the process by which crust is deformed along plate margins, producing geologic structures like folds, faults, joints and foliation. It describes how different rock types deform under stress through either ductile or brittle deformation. The key types of deformation discussed are folding, where layers of rock are bent, and faulting, where connected blocks of rock are displaced along a fracture plane. Common fold types include anticlines, synclines and monoclines. Fault types include normal, reverse, strike-slip and oblique-slip faults.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Climate change refers to changes in long-term weather patterns caused by global warming. It can include changes in temperature, precipitation levels, and more extreme weather events. The Earth is currently warming at a rapid pace, with the 10 warmest years on record all occurring since 1997. This warming is causing sea levels to rise, sea ice to melt, and precipitation patterns to change. Many plants and animals are struggling to adapt to these effects of climate change. While some solutions for addressing climate change have been proposed, such as transitioning away from fossil fuels and upgrading infrastructure, there is still a lack of agreement among world leaders on how to effectively tackle this global issue.
How rocks behave under different types of stressMittyMitty
This document discusses how rocks behave under different types of stress. It explains that rocks undergo deformation and strain when subjected to tensional, compressional, or shear stresses. The document outlines the different stages of rock deformation, from elastic to ductile to fracture, and factors like temperature, confining pressure, and composition that influence the deformation process. It also describes geological structures like joints, faults, folds, anticlines and synclines that form from rock deformation.
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and materials at the Earth's surface through mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical weathering causes no chemical change and includes temperature fluctuations, frost action, root growth, and abrasion by water and wind. Chemical weathering alters the composition of minerals and includes dissolution by water and acids, oxidation, and hydrolysis. The rate of weathering depends on factors like composition, cracks/holes, climate, topography, air pollution, and exposure time. Both mechanical and chemical weathering work together to slowly break down rocks over very long periods of time.
This document discusses various geological hazards caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. It identifies the Philippines as highly prone to these hazards due to its location in the Ring of Fire. Specific hazards of each event are outlined such as ground shaking from earthquakes, pyroclastic flows from volcanic eruptions, and human activities that can trigger landslides like deforestation. The document also lists the most at-risk provinces in the Philippines for each hazard and provides safety precautions to follow during hazardous geological events.
Rock layers are formed through sedimentary processes over long periods of time. Stratified rocks are formed from sediments laid down in layers, and their formation depends on stratigraphy and stratification. There are several laws of stratigraphy that help geologists determine the relative ages of rock layers based on principles like original horizontality, superposition, cross-cutting relationships, inclusions and unconformities. Geologists use physical features of the rock layers as well as index fossils to correlate and match rock layers across different regions in order to reconstruct Earth's history.

1. The document discusses gas laws, including Boyle's law relating volume and pressure at constant temperature, and Charles' law relating volume and temperature at constant pressure.
2. It provides examples of using the gas laws to calculate volume or pressure changes given initial and final conditions.
3. The kinetic molecular theory is described as explaining the gas laws based on the random motion and elastic collisions of gas molecules.
This document discusses geological hazards. It begins by listing the lesson objectives which are to identify different geological hazards, analyze their causes, and recognize impending hazard signs. It then defines geological hazards and lists examples like volcanic eruptions, landslides, and sinkholes. The document emphasizes that these natural processes only become hazards when affecting humans. It focuses on rainfall-induced hazards like landslides and sinkholes, describing landslide and sinkhole characteristics. Finally, it outlines signs of impending landslides or sinkholes.
The Steady State Theory proposed that the universe has no beginning or end in time and appears the same from any point. It suggests new stars are continually created to replace those that have died, maintaining a steady state. The theory was proposed as an alternative to the Big Bang Theory. However, evidence emerged in the 1960s that contradicted Steady State Theory, including more distant radio sources in the early universe, discovery of quasars only in the early universe, and detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is difficult to explain under Steady State Theory. The theory has since been discarded.
Human Rights Council Topic A, B and committee backgroundGera Morton
The Human Rights Council is an intergovernmental body within the UN made up of 47 member states responsible for strengthening the protection of human rights globally. It was established in 2006 to replace the previous Commission on Human Rights, which was criticized for allowing countries with poor human rights records to be members. The Council reviews human rights situations in all UN member states through mechanisms like the Universal Periodic Review. However, some criticize it for being politically influenced and not prioritizing human rights over political considerations.
This document summarizes the transnational trend of granting same-sex marriage rights. It discusses how same-sex marriage legislation has spread rapidly across many countries in a short time period. The document analyzes factors driving this convergence, including the framing of same-sex marriage as a human rights issue and the actions of LGBT social movements. It provides an overview of the current state of same-sex marriage and LGBT rights internationally, and examines theories that may explain the nature and speed of this social change.

This Live Seminar examined how recent legal and policy trends—punctuated by a June 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision—may alter modalities of humanitarian engagement with non-state armed groups. In Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a law criminalizing various forms of “material support” to prohibited groups.
The Supreme Court's jurisprudence around religious liberty has varied in granting exemptions from laws and allowing funding for religious schools. There is debate over whether the US should consider international norms in discussions of rights like religious liberty. The Supreme Court has looked to foreign law in recent cases, but there is a distinction between foreign law and international treaties signed by the US. Reasons the Court should consider international religious liberty norms include that they are based on principles of the American experiment and help integrate domestic and foreign policy. Key international instruments enshrine protections for religious rights and liberties.

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS–BASED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE UN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS HAVE MADE MONITORING HUMAN RIGHTS A GLOBAL ISSUE. The United Nations is headquartered in New York City.
Learning Objectives
1. 3.1Review the expansion of and the commitment to the human rights agenda
2. 3.2Evaluate the milestones that led to the current concerns around human rights
3. 3.3Evaluate some of the philosophical controversies over human rights
4. 3.4Recognize global, regional, national, and local institutions and rules designed to protect human rights across the globe
5. 3.5Report the efforts made globally in bringing violators of human rights to justice
6. 3.6Relate the need for stricter laws to protect women’s human rights across the globe.
7. 3.7Recognize the need to protect the human rights of the disabled
8. 3.8Distinguish between the Western and the Islamic beliefs on individual and community rights
9. 3.9Review the balancing act that needs to be played while fighting terrorism and protecting human rights
10. 3.10Report the controversy around issuing death penalty as punishment
When Muammar Qaddafi used military force to suppress people demonstrating in Libya for a transition to democracy, there was a general consensus that there was a global responsibility to protect civilians. However, when Bashar Assad used fighter jets, tanks, barrel bombs, chemical weapons, and a wide range of brutal methods, including torture, to crush the popular uprising against his rule in Syria, the world did not respond forcefully to protect civilians. The basic reason given for allowing Syria to descend into brutality and chaos was that it was difficult to separate Syrians favoring human rights from those who embraced terrorism. Although cultural values differ significantly from one society to another, our common humanity has equipped us with many shared ideas about how human beings should treat each other. Aspects of globalization, especially communications and migration, reinforce perceptions of a common humanity. In general, there is global agreement that human beings, simply because we exist, are entitled to at least three types of rights. First is civil rights, which include personal liberties such as freedom of speech, religion, and thought; the right to own property; and the right to equal treatment under the law. Second is political rights, including the right to vote, to voice political opinions, and to participate in the political process. Third is social rights, including the right to be secure from violence and other physical danger, the right to a decent standard of living, and the right to health care and education. Societies differ in terms of which rights they emphasize. Four types of human rights claims that dominate global politics are
1. The abuse of individual rights by governments
2. Demands for autonomy or independence by various groups
3. Demands for equality and privacy by groups with unconventional lifestyles
4. Cla.
This report provides a status update on human rights in the United States in 2014. It discusses how the US has historically championed human rights globally but still faces many violations domestically. The US has ratified 3 of the 10 core UN human rights treaties but includes qualifications that limit enforcement. Overall, the report finds that while the US pushes other countries to uphold human rights standards, it fails to recognize and protect some core economic, social, and cultural rights for people within its own borders.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.

Effectiveness of Legal & Non-Legal Responses to Religious Discrimination
1. R. Smith
Religious Discrimination
Religious discrimination is the disrespect of Article 18 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is to
this day a global issue, having received many legal and non-legal responses within Australia and the
international community that have been both successful and unsuccessful. Such responses include certain
Australian and international legislation, as well as international Non-Government Organisations, or NGOs.
One of Australia’s legal responses to the issue of religious discrimination is Section 116 of its Constitution.
Over history, the federal government has tried twice to amend this domestic legislation, as it has been
ineffective for a number of reasons. One reason is that it doesn’t actually force the state governments to add
parts of Section 116 into their own laws. The closest legislation New South Wales has against religious
discrimination is under the vague category of ‘Race discrimination’, where the rather unclear term ‘ethno-
religious background’ is used. The adequacy of Section 116 has also been challenged in a 1997 case known as
the Stolen Generations Case, where the High Court had maintained an ordinance from 1918 allowing the acts
of the stolen generation period. Justice Mary Gaudron defended her judgement by saying how Section 116 is
so ‘narrow’ that there weren’t any other constitutional laws to allow a different, less discriminatory court
decision.
One legal international response to the current issue of religious discrimination is the creation of the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, enacted by the United Nations in 1976 as a subset of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The conformity to this international legislation by its 74 signatory
states is reviewed three times a year by the UN’s Human Rights Committee. And it isn’t something new for the
Committee to question the treaty’s effectiveness. Certain nation-states have failed to apply all the obligations
of the Covenant and change their domestic laws to confirm their compliance to it. Some states have preserved
their own sovereign protections that don’t provide powerful-enough remedies for religious discrimination as
the Covenant does. Because of all this, the Committee has had to undertake close examinations on non-
complying states, the latest being on the US late last year. So with all this doubt as to if it is acted out by the
states that have agreed to it, the effectiveness of the ICCPR’s response to religious discrimination is truly
questionable.
The issue of religious discrimination has raised not only legal, but non-legal responses too. This includes the
creation of NGOs within and beyond Australia such as Human Rights Watch- a leading international
organisation that aims to tackle human rights issues including religious discrimination. But despite this, the
effectiveness of HRW’s efforts have been particularly questioned by Michael Goldfarb, who in his 2009 article
on theweeklystandard.com, details how a certain deputy director of the organisation has been involved in
anti-Zionist rallies, and has once praised the ‘achievement’ of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972
Olympic Games. What sort of human rights organisation has someone with intolerance towards a race and
religion as one of its officials? Then, you have the same organisation defending an American university lecturer

– who is wanted overseas for acts of war crimes and genocide that he was eventually arrested for. And this is
all because HRW forgot to investigate the convicted professor’s case. So as this for evidence, it can be
evaluated that the corrupt bias of the staff of Human Rights Watch shows how NGOs can be an unreliable and
thus ineffective response to the current issue of religious discrimination.
As you can see, religious discrimination is a human rights issue present in a global scale. It has been
responded to legally and non-legally within Australia and the international community in such ways as the
enactment of domestic and international law and the formation of numerous non-government organisations.
These responses have shown that the contemporary issue of religious discrimination has been acted upon with
differing levels of effectiveness.
