Millions of years ago, slow changes in the Earth’s orbit changed the climate in East Africa dramatically. Every 20,000 years ago, the region vacillated between very dry and very wet periods. These extreme changes may have played a vital role in driving human evolution, according to what’s called the pulsed climate vari... | <urn:uuid:6d2c4852-e00a-4d90-8326-100c5364feca> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.popsci.com/article/science/did-ancient-climate-change-drive-human-evolution/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711368.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20221208215156-20221209005156-00424.warc.gz | en | 0.968129 | 663 | 4.1875 | 4 |

Fossil fuels are fuels formed from decaying plant and animal matter that was primarily formed over millions of years. Fossil fuels include coal, oil (petroleum), and natural gas. These fuels have been the primary energy source for over 200 years, but they will eventually have to be replaced by other sources because the... | <urn:uuid:ca5c0bde-ddca-4831-aadd-5be8c9e2003f> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://electricala2z.com/renewable-energy/types-fossil-fuels/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.943209 | 2,568 | 4.03125 | 4 |

What Is the Formula for Calculating Momentum?
The formula for calculating momentum is mass multiplied by velocity. An object’s momentum is equivalent to its mass times its velocity, therefore the equation for momentum is the same. Momentum is measured in kilogram-meters per second, which are all standard metric units.

In the early 1800s, European nations had just little land in Africa, holding only areas along the coast. In the mid-1800s, though, Europeans had renewed its interest in Africa. This rose, in part, from a desire to create overseas empires, a movement called imperialism. European nations wanted to control lands that had ... | <urn:uuid:583854cd-964a-4fbe-be10-be140ddefff3> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://cdaworldhistory.wikidot.com/the-scramble-for-africa | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207927458.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113207-00289-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987491 | 2,175 | 4.03125 | 4 |
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) happens if the fluid builds up in the small, flexible air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The liquid prevents the lungs from getting filled with sufficient air, so that less amount of oxygen will arrive to the blood. This leave the body parts without the oxygen they require to ke... | <urn:uuid:7fe05ec1-9a29-43a6-b712-e5365c6a7236> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.alale.co/en/a/AcuteRespiratoryDistressSyndrome | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250607596.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200122221541-20200123010541-00407.warc.gz | en | 0.94024 | 755 | 4 | 4 |
The star upsilon Andromedae was discovered to be hosting a short period planet in 1996. In this case, the orbital period was 4.6 days. Two years later, it was revealed that this star is also orbited by two further planets, with orbital periods of 58 days and 437 days respectively.
