Geoscience (also known as earth sciences and geology) covers the broad sweep of Earth history and all Earth-forming processes. This online resources includes detailed information about the Earth, minerals and gemstones, and the latest research in the field of geoscience.

During the 20th century, humanity has almost quadrupled its numbers. Although many factors have fostered this unprecedented expansion, its continuation during the past generation would not have been at all possible without a widespread-- yet generally unappreciated-- activity: the synthesis of ammonia. The ready availability of ammonia, and other nitrogen-rich fertilizers derived from it, has effectively done away with what for ages had been a fundamental restriction on food production. The world's population now has enough to eat (on the average) because of numerous advances in modern agricultural practices.

This webpage from the University of Virginia's Physics Department introduces concepts that are useful for describing motion.

This tutorial consists of five modules on organic chemistry covering: structure, bonding, spectroscopy, stereochemistry, and functional group reactions.
