Glacier Found To Be Deeply Crack

While drilling holes in Alaska's Bench Glacier, scientists discovered dozens of massive cracks from the ground to the ice. The movement of water through the cracks could cause the glaciers to move or melting. The cracks hold a certain amount of water and could help scientists better predict how and when glaciers move and melt. Scientists need to figure out how wide the cracks are and how it could affect the sea level. Just a little of water could cause the pace of a hunk of ice to go faster. Scientists are trying to find out how much water is in a glacier, so that they can tell how much will the sea level rise and how much water there is.

Are non carbon based life forms possible?

Non carbon based life forms are possible. Biochemist speculate that their are several atoms that could possibly spawn life. Phosphorus is similar to carbon in that it can form long chain molecules on it's own. When combined with nitrogen, it can create quite a wide range of molecules, including rings. Some terrestrial bacteria have already been discovered to survive on sulfur instead of oxygen, by reducing sulfur to hydrogen sulfide.

Should The U.S Switch To Metris System

I think the U.S should have switched to the metric system. The metric system is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world. Metric system are universally used in scientific work, and widely used around the world for many purposes. If NASA used the same system for all the parts maybe it would have turn out differently.

Goals For School This Year

I have many goals this year. One of my goals is to have good grades. I want to have a B or higher on all of my classes. Last year i didn't do well so this year i'm working harder to reach my goal. If i do all my homework and study for tests i might be able to reach my goal.
