             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
