If we drew a map of the Milky Way galaxy, and represented the Earth and Sun as two dots one inch apart (thus a scale of one inch equals 93 million miles "the distance between ... the Earth and the Sun), we would need a map at least four miles wide to locate the next nearest star, and a map 25,000 miles wide to reach the center of our galaxy. Without doubt, this is a rather impressive Universe. Yet while the size itself is ... ...

... the world where earthquakes have occurred in the past, although there are places in the world where they are most likely happen on a regular basis. The red areas on the map show places where earthquakes are most likely to occur. The red areas are mainly spread across the west of South America, the west of North America, Japan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran ... Zealand. This tells us that these countries therefore will most probably lie on plate boundaries, or be near to an underground volcano. As you can see by looking at the map of plate boundaries the countries listed before as being the countri...

The greenhouse effect occurs when gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and CFCs trap heat in the atmosphere by acting as a pane of glass in a car. The glass lets the sun light in to make heat but when the heat tries to get out the gases absorb the heat. Holding this heat in causes h...
