The Deepest Hole on Earth Adapted from an article by Kristy Hamilton, March 11, 2015 Remove this rusted metal cap and the world’s deepest hole tunnels miles into the Earth. However, we know more about certain distant galaxies than we do about what lies miles beneath our very own feet. For that reason, Soviet scientists in the 1970s decided to go deeper than humanity has ever done before. For the next 24 years, they drilled into the Earth’s crust. The result was the Kola Superdeep Borehole, which eventually reached a depth of more than 7.5 miles. To put that in perspective, Kola descends further than the deepest point of the ocean (the Mariana Trench). 12 So did we learn anything from these decades of labor? Thankfully, yes! Scientists found microscopic fossils of at 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) down. They also found that the temperature at the bottom of the hole reached a blistering 356°F! Too hot to continue, drilling officially halted in 1994. However, what’s even more impressive is that scientists estimate that the distance to the center of the Earth is nearly 4,000 miles. This means that after decades of work, humans have only reached 0.2% of the way to the center of the planet. 1. Why do you think we would want to understand what the Earth is like below the surface? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Why do you think the bottom of the hole was so hot? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Layers of the Earth Adapted from BBC Bitesize Despite not actually digging down very deep into the Earth, scientists have figured out that our planet is made up of four distinct layers: 1. The inner core is in the center and is the hottest part of the Earth. It is solid and made up of iron and nickel with temperatures of up to 5,500°C. The inner core is also extremely dense -- like solid steel -- because it is under intense pressure from all the layers above it. 2. The outer core is the layer surrounding the inner core. It is a liquid layer, also made up of iron and nickel. It is still extremely hot, with temperatures almost as high to the inner core and almost as dense. 13 3. The mantle is the widest section of the Earth. It has a thickness of approximately 2,900 km. The lower mantle is made up of semi-molten (melted) rock called magma. In the upper mantle the rock is hard, but lower down the rock is soft and beginning to melt. 4. The crust is the outer layer of the earth. It is a thin layer between 0-60 km thick. The crust is the solid rock layer upon which we live. Because it is under less pressure, the crust is the least dense. Together, the solid crust and solid upper mantle make up the lithosphere. 3. Put the following in order: upper mantle, inner core, crust, outer core, lower mantle: DEEPEST ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ SHALLOWEST 4. Circle the layers above that are part of the lithosphere. 5. As you go deeper, the temperature of the layers INCREASES / DECREASES (circle one) 6. As you go deeper, the density of the layers INCREASES / DECREASES (circle one) 7. 8. Plate Tectonics Adapted from BBC Bitesize The Earth's crust and upper part of the mantle are broken into large pieces called tectonic plates. These are constantly moving at a few inches each year.

  • L'archivio Di Pietra Di Capodistria
    Aldo Cherini L’archivio di pietra di Capodistria Autoedizione 1999 Aldo Cherini, 7 giugno 1999 Ristampa maggio 2011 — www.cherini.eu Capodistria, privilegiata sede del podestà e capitano di Venezia quale rappresentante del governo centrale, e sede non meno privilegiata degli uffici governativi dell’intera provincia dell’Istria veneta, residenza quindi pro tempore di personaggi di spicco e di funzionari superiori nonchè di esponenti delle famiglie cittadine più attive ed impegnate, ha lasciato una plurisecolare traccia documentata con centinaia di epigrafi e stemmi (almeno 615) costituenti un vero e proprio archivio litico, che viene ad integrare, talvolta con notizie proprie, l’archivio membranaceo e cartaceo proprio di ogni centro storico. Con riguardo all’andamento topografico dell’antica città quale contenente un simile archivio, gli stemmi e le epigrafi si trovano in numero preponderante nella Piazza del Duomo e nell’adiacente Brolo, nei lapidari del Civico Museo di Storia ed Arte, nella Piazza da Ponte e lungo le vie principali mentre una trentina di pezzi isolati sono reperibili qua e là. Un archivio particolare, questo, che non teme il sole e la pioggia, unico nell’Istria, esibito alla vista di tutti, quantomeno di quanti hanno la curiosità di alzare gli occhi e la capacità intellettiva di comprendere di che si tratta, di leggere un po’ di latino. Non è molto semplice passare in rassegna una documentazione del genere, che va dal 1269 agli iniziali anni 40 del nostro secolo. Bisogna stabilire un criterio che ben potrebbe essere cronologico se non ostasse la frammentazione e la commistione, non solo sotto questo aspetto, dei tanti documenti litici per cui conviene seguire semplicemente la collocazione topografica degli stessi con l’avvertenza che la pianta topografica e la nomenclatura viaria cittadina qui citata è quella del 1945, quella cioè della originale Capodistria veneta, quale non esiste più perché travolta dagli avvenimenti seguiti sotto ogni profilo civico, ambientale, culturale, amministrativo e politico.

  • Thermometer 1 Thermometer
    Thermometer 1 Thermometer Developed during the 16th and 17th centuries, a thermometer (from the Greek θερμός (thermo) meaning "warm" and meter, "to measure") is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles.[1] A thermometer has two important elements: the temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb on a mercury thermometer) in which some physical change occurs with temperature, plus some means of converting this physical change into a numerical value (e.g. the scale on a mercury thermometer). A clinical mercury-in-glass thermometer There are many types of thermometer and many uses for thermometers, as detailed below in sections of this article. Temperature While an individual thermometer is able to measure degrees of hotness, the readings on two thermometers cannot be compared unless they conform to an agreed scale. There is today an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. Internationally agreed temperature scales are designed to approximate this closely, based on fixed points and interpolating thermometers. The most recent official temperature scale is the International Temperature Scale of 1990. It extends from 0.65 K (−272.5 °C; −458.5 °F) to approximately 1358 K (1085 °C; 1985 °F). Thermometer Thermometer 2 Development Various authors have credited the invention of the thermometer to Cornelius Drebbel, Robert Fludd, Galileo Galilei or Santorio Santorio. The thermometer was not a single invention, however, but a development. Philo of Byzantium and Hero of Alexandria knew of the principle that certain substances, notably air, expand and contract and described a demonstration in which a closed tube partially filled with air had its end in a container of water.[2] The expansion and contraction of the air caused the position of the water/air interface to move along the tube.

  • Galilei-1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
    Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei ([ɡaliˈlɛːo ɡaliˈlɛi]; 15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath, from Pisa. Galileo has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of modern science". Galileo studied speed and velocity, gravity and free fall, the principle of relativity, inertia, projectile motion and also worked in applied science and technology, describing the properties of pendulums and "hydrostatic balances", inventing the thermoscope and various military compasses, and using the telescope for scientific observations of celestial objects. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the observation of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, the observation of Saturn's rings, and the analysis of sunspots. Galileo's championing of heliocentrism and Copernicanism was controversial during his lifetime, when most subscribed to geocentric models such as the Tychonic system. He met with opposition from astronomers, who doubted heliocentrism because of the absence of an observed stellar parallax. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was "foolish and absurd in philosophy, and formally heretical since it explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture". Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated him and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point. He was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and forced to recant.

  • How Does the Thermometer Work?
    How Does the Thermometer Work? How Does the Thermometer Work? A thermometer is a device that measures the temperature of things. The name is made up of two smaller words: "Thermo" means heat and "meter" means to measure. You can use a thermometer to tell the temperature outside or inside your house, inside your oven, even the temperature of your body if you're sick. One of the earliest inventors of a thermometer was probably Galileo. We know him more for his studies about the solar system and his "revolutionary" theory (back then) that the earth and planets rotated around the sun. Galileo is said to have used a device called a "thermoscope" around 1600 - that's 400 years ago!! The thermometers we use today are different than the ones Galileo may have used. There is usually a bulb at the base of the thermometer with a long glass tube stretching out the top. Early thermometers used water, but because water freezes there was no way to measure temperatures less than the freezing point of water. So, alcohol, which freezes at temperature below the point where water freezes, was used. The red colored or silver line in the middle of the thermometer moves up and down depending on the temperature. The thermometer measures temperatures in Fahrenheit, Celsius and another scale called Kelvin. Fahrenheit is used mostly in the United States, and most of the rest of the world uses Celsius. Kelvin is used by scientists. Fahrenheit is named after the German physicist Gabriel D. Fahrenheit who developed his scale in 1724.

  • Santorio Santorio – the Pioneer of Evidence Based Medicine
    ANNALES KINESIOLOGIAE • 2 • 2011 • 1 review article UDC: 929Santorio S.:61 received: 2011-05-11 SANTORIO SANTORIO – THE PIONEER OF EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE Mladen GASPARINI Izola General Hospital, Polje 40, 6310 Izola, Slovenia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In everyday clinical practice there is a constant need for valid information about di- agnosis, prognosis, therapy and the prevention of a variety of diseases. But there could be a disparity between the physician’s diagnostic skills and his clinical judgment if he relies only on traditional sources of information. In 1992, a group of scientists from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada attempted to integrate individual clinical expertise with the best external evidence. They proposed a process in which systemati- cally finding, appraising and using contemporaneous research were the basis for prop- er clinical decisions. They called this integration of research evidence with personal clinical knowledge “Evidence Based Medicine” and since then, interest in this field has grown exponentially. Interestingly, it is the case that some 400 years before this important concept; a young physician named Santorio Santorio emerged from Koper in what is now Slovenia (1561–1636). He argued that a doctor should first rely on experi- ence, then on reasoning, and only lastly on authority. Besides his numerous medical inventions, Santorio was the first to attempt to justify his practice by using some vital connection between measured parameters and a person’s state of health He therefore could be credited as one of the earliest individuals to embrace modern concepts of sci- ence or a pioneer in the field of EBM.
