When the brain is damaged, paralysis can result. Quadriplegics are individuals whose arms and legs are paralyzed. The word quadriplegic has its roots in the Latin word quadra meaning "four," and the Greek word plege meaning "stroke." How is this combination of words appropriate for its definition? A stroke can cause paralysis (loss of function) of all four limbs. Google the word hemiplegia to determine how it relates to paralysis. Hemiplegia is total or partial paralysis of one side of the body. hemi means half

Webstarts
Here is an example of a website that I had created. It focuses on traveling. More particularly, the traveling that I have done.
The site has a small argumentative point of view... it should show my knowledge of the subject area.
I have not placed pictures into the website yet. I have not hyper linked websites related to traveling, but I have created a video and linked the video in my website.

18. Decay can destroy organisms if they aren't buried fast enough. Erosion destroys some rock layers. Materials that have been buried very deep are often destroyed by metamorphosis.
19. You could determine the absolute age of the lava, because it contains radioactive elements. The relative age of the rocks above and below the lava flow can be determined.
20. The volcanic ash would have been deposited very quickly (during one specific volcanic eruption). Therefore you have a rock layer that you know is the same age everywhere. This could also be dated using radioactive isotopes.
21. The cold temperatures preserved the entire woolly mammoth. This is similar to how freezing preserves foods. mmmmm woolly mammoth!
22. The fossils that are trace fossils are: dinosaur footprints, worm burrows, and fossil woodpecker holes.
The fossils that are body fossils are: dinosaur skulls, insects trapped in amber, and fish teeth.
23. I might make you draw a sketch of a disconformity or an angular unconformity.
There will most likely be a question or two related to the half-life lab that we did... as an example... how many half lives did the element go through if there is 25% of the original element and 75% of the daughter element present.
