The Earth's Interior
Just as a child may shake an unopened present in an attempt to discover the
contents of a gift, so man must listen to the ring and vibration of our
Earth in an attempt to discover its content.
The inner core is solid and unattached to the mantle, suspended in the molten
outer core. It is believed to have solidified as a result of pressure-freezing
which occurs to most liquids when temperature decreases or pressure increases.
Core Concerns
The hidden reaches of Earth are starting to reveal some of their secrets
Combined with recent advances in seismology, the computer models are opening
windows into Earth's hitherto impenetrable iron heart. This new access gives
scientists hope that they can finally tackle what Einstein reputedly called one
of the five greatest unsolved problems in physics: the origin of the planet's
magnetic field.
Giant
Slab of Earth's Crust Found Near Core
A huge slab of folded Earth that scientists think used to be part
of the ocean floor has been detected near the planet's core.
The discovery supports the theory that Earth's
crust is constantly recycled deep into the planet as molten
material from below simultaneously pushes up to refresh the
surface.
The structure is about 125 miles deep and at
least 125 miles wide and 370 miles in the north-south direction.
In consistency, it is more like a
giant, folding mush of taffy, researchers said today.
New 'Petit Spot'
Volcanoes
Naoto Hirano at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, and
colleagues have discovered miniature volcanoes - between 0.005 cubic
kilometres and 1 km3 in size - near the underwater Japan Trench. These
volcanoes, dubbed "petit spot" because of their size, cannot be accounted
for by any of the conventional theories of volcanism.

Earth
Magnetic Field Reversal
Seeing the powerful earthquakes such
as the December 26th, 2004 event that triggered the tsunami disaster, people are
looking for possible causes for the apparent instability of earth's crust.
"End-times" alarmists and backyard researchers believe that the
predicted imminent reversal of the earth's magnetic field may be a significant
clue to these eschatological-scale events.

Peak Soil-- Why Cellulosic ethanol and other Biofuels are Not
Sustainable and a Threat to America's National Security - Part I
Ethanol is an agribusiness get-rich-quick scheme that will
bankrupt our topsoil.
Fuels made from biomass are a lot like the nuclear powered
airplanes the Air Force tried to build from 1946 to 1961, for billions of
dollars. They never got off the ground. The idea was interesting – atomic jets
could fly for months without refueling. But the lead shielding to protect the
crew and several months of food and water was too heavy for the plane to take
off.
Peak Soil-- Why Cellulosic ethanol and other Biofuels are Not
Sustainable and a Threat to America’s National Security - Part II.
The idea we could run our economy on discarded fried food grease
is very amusing. For starters, you’d need to feed 7 million heavy diesel trucks
getting less than 8 mpg. Seems like we're all going to need to eat a lot more
French Fries, but if anyone can pull it off, it would be Americans.
Peak Soil-- Why Cellulosic ethanol and other Biofuels are Not
Sustainable and a Threat to America’s National Security - Part III
Conclusion
Soil is the bedrock of civilization (Perlin 1991, Ponting 1993).
Biofuels are not sustainable or renewable. Why would we destroy our
topsoil, increase global warming, deplete and pollute groundwater,
destroy fisheries, and use more energy than what’s gained to make
ethanol? Why would we do this to our children and grandchildren?

Global
Sea Level Change
many continents have broad continental
shelves--areas of submerged continental lithosphere. This means that relatively
small changes in sea level can have a major effect on the geography of a
continent.
Why
Make Compost
Understanding how to make and use compost is in the public
interest, as the problem of waste disposal climbs toward a crisis level.
The Essentials of Composting
With these
principles in mind, everyone can make excellent use of their organic wastes.

Compost bin
plan
Here's a
plan for a successful home compost bin -- complete with red worms!
Composting
Systems
There are a tremendous number of options for containing your
compost. Some people choose to go binless, simply building a compost
pile in a convenient spot on the ground. Others build bins from
materials such as recycled pallets, or two-by-fours and plywood. And,
of course, there are many commercial bins on the market.
How to Compost This how-to document contains information about
composting fundamentals for those interested in an introduction to
how composting should be done. In addition, a set of composting
questions and answers provide information about
how to tell if compost is finished, how to use
compost, and how compost benefits the soil.
Making Compost from Yard Waste
Compost is one of the most valuable resources for beautifying your landscape,
and it is virtually free. The leaves you rake, the grass you mow, and the
branches you trim are some of the ingredients you can use to make compost.
Finished compost is dark and has a pleasant smell. It is produced when organic
matter, such as garden, lawn, and kitchen waste, is broken down by bacteria and
fungi.
The Beauty of Compost Heaps
Yes, there is nothing better than
a pile of rotting garbage! Not when it's within a compost heap, that is. Thus,
the cycle of life brings value to these living plants and creatures even in with
their death and decay.
Worms, Beetles in Soil Part of Untapped Trove, UN Says
Worms, bacteria and beetles living below ground are part of
the largest and least known trove of life on earth that could have spinoffs from farming to pharmaceuticals,
a U.N. report said on Wednesday.
