Atom - chemistry.
Atoms have several properties that help distinguish one type of atom from another and determine how atoms change under certain conditions. A Atomic Number Each element has a unique number of protons in its atoms. This number is called the atomic number (abbreviated Z). Because atoms are normally electrically neutral,the atomic number also specifies how many electrons an atom will have. The number of electrons, in turn, determines many of the chemical and physical properties ofthe atom. The ligh...

North America - Geography.
D Climate Although North America has considerable climatic variety, five principal climatic regions can be identified. The northern two-thirds of Canada and Alaska, as well as all ofGreenland, have subarctic and arctic climates, in which long, dark, bitterly cold winters alternate with brief, mild summers. Most of the region, which receives relativelylittle precipitation, is covered with snow and ice during much of the year. A second climatic region is made up of the eastern two-thirds of the U...

Technology.
loose soil in this region, known as the Fertile Crescent, was easily scratched for planting, and an abundance of trees was available for firewood. By 5000 BC, farming communities were established in areas known today as Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Greece, and the islands of Crete and Cyprus. Agricultural societies in these places constructed stone buildings, used the sickle to harvest grain, developed a primitive plowstick, and advanced their skills inmetalworking. Trade in flint al...

Electricity
I
INTRODUCTION
Electricity, one of the basic forms of energy.
electrons in the neutral object are attracted to the positive object. Some of these electrons flow to the side of the neutral object that is nearest to the positive object.This side of the neutral object accumulates electrons and becomes negatively charged. Because electrons leave the far side of the neutral object while its protonsremain stationary, that side becomes positively charged. Since the negatively charged side of the neutral object is closest to the positive object, the attraction bet...

Sport qui utilise un moyen de transport devenu banal, le cyclisme constitue en même
temps une source d'esthétique incomparable.
Tour de France Le matériel Au début du XX e siècle, le vélo connut moins de modifications, la réglementation des compétitions limitant les recherches audacieuses. L'usage du dérailleur (système de changement de vitesses en roulant) ne se généralisa qu'à la fin des années vingt. Après 1945, les efforts portèrent tout autant sur la connaissance de la « machine » humaine que sur l'aspect technique matériel. L'Italien Fausto Coppi prouva le bien-fondé d'une stricte hygiène de vie et d'une dié...

artists in the Ohio area cut delicate flat forms from sheets of mica in the shape of birds, human figures, and large hands.

Central America - Geography.
F Animal Life Most of the animal life of Central America is similar to that of South America, but some animals have ties with North America.

In the southernAndes, broadleaf and coniferous trees cover the lower slopes. Coniferous forests are found above 2,000 m (6,500 ft), and the timberline is generally about 3,000 m(about 10,000 ft) above sea level. Above the timberline are treeless highland meadows, but the high plateaus of the central Andes support only a sparse covering ofgrasses...

Gold - chemistry.
producers of gold during this period. Spain's domination in South America resulted, in the 16th century, in a large increase in gold produced in the New World; someresulted from simple seizure of gold from the Native Americans, who had long mined the metal. In the same century Mexico contributed about 9 percent of the totalworld production. Gold was discovered in Australia in February 1851, and rich fields were found there. By the middle of the 19th century the United States produced a considera...
