Coast Lines Student`s Name Institution of Affiliation The coastlines of the world are constantly being impacted by waves, currents, and tides. The horizontal movement of water is referred to as a current. These movements can either be long-lasting or temporary. They can occur deep in the ocean or near the surface, and are primarily caused by the differences in water temperature and salinity. Majority of the large currents start when ice freezes and leaves behind cold salty water, which sinks to the seafloor. Tides are massive waves that cause the ocean and sea to rise and fall along shorelines all over the world. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull exerted on the sea by the Sun and the...

Aspects of a New Planet Habitability Students’ Name Professors’ Name Institution Affiliation The paper explores to expound on some of the critical things that would help in the establishment of a habitable planet by cross-examining the Interstellar movie. Miller planet is spacious and old enough to support life. Therefore, unlike other young planets, Miller’s world does not experience formation activities such as volcanoes which put life into danger (Thorne, 2014). The atmosphere composition also happens to be an aspect of consideration because life largely depends on oxygen and carbon. Atmosphere composition of hazardous gases would put the species survival at risk. The distance from...
