Runningblader's Sandbox on creating artical MorparScape[edit]
 | Welcome to my sandbox this is not for the public to use the one for the public to use is on Wikipedia:Sandbox so please go back there only admins are aloud to be here to check on the future artical. |
MorparScape[edit]
| MorparScape is under Contruction |
MorparScape is a private server, Java-based role-playing game. MorparScape allows an individual to create a game that others on the Internet can join. MorparScape used to be one of the most popular games, but since Runescape announced that it would ban any user found using the game, many people didn't want to play it for fear of being banned. MorparScape online has two operating modes, one for a private server and one for a multiplayer sever. MorparScape currently has over 100,000 players and does not have a cost associated with playing it. RuneScape, on the other hand, has both a free and a fee-based playing option. The game has these two features in it to help people make their future game:
- It has a fully functional Aryan built in, you can write your own scripts or download them and edit them.
And how you start it is by:
- It has a fully functional open source private server (Hybridscape) built in (just click start server and log in).
MorparScape is based on Runescape but it is just the old version.
History of MorparScape[edit]
The history of MorparScape is that trying to make it was very easy. After they made it they started updating it as soon as possible but since 2007 they stopped updating it and left it the same for years. but when they were updating it they were trying to get it popular and have people play. So, what MorparScape did was sit and got on Runescape and made a bot that advertised there game. Though what the problem was Runescape. When Runescape started to notice the bots they were immeditly trying to ban all the bots.
After getting it popular[edit]
After MorparScape got popular many people started playing it over 1,000 people made accounts a month but that only lasted about 10 months till Runescape announced them a scam, hack, or password stealers. But, during they were geting popular a thing called castle wars came up and immeditly it came onto MorparScape.

MorparScape is still popular but not as it was years ago. MorparScape is not updating they just left it alone and kept it the same. The only way it be updated is by you making your own game then updating it.

Summarys on The black pearl or The Black Pearl[edit]
The story was about a Mexican teenager named Ramon Salazar who works with his father finding and selling pearls. One day, Ramon went diving in an underwater cave in search of pearls and found a pearl bigger than his fist. It was so shiny and big that he thought that it was called the Pearl of Heaven. The pearl was found in a lagoon that belonged to an Indian who warned Ramon that the pearl belonged to the Manta Diablo.
This book was Published in 1967 and printed in 1977.
Author: Scott O'Dell
Plot Summary[edit]
From the depths of a cave in the Vermilion Sea, Ramon Salazar has wrested a black pearl so lustrous and captivating that his father, an expert pearl dealer, is certain Ramon has found the legendary Pearl of Heaven. Such a treasure is sure to bring great joy to the villagers of their tiny coastal town, and even greater renown to the Salazar name. No diver, not even the swaggering Gaspar Ruiz, has ever found a pearl like this!
But is there a price to pay for a prize so great? When a terrible tragedy strikes the village, old Luzon's warning about El Diablo returns to haunt Ramon. If El Diablo actually exists, it will take all Ramon's courage to face the winged creature waiting for him offshore.
The book Summary on the back[edit]
Old Salazar held the pearl to the light and turned it around and around. He gave it to his son, who had found the peral in the underwater cave of the lagoon "You have in your hand the Pearl of the Universe, the paragon of Pearls, the Great Pearl of Heaven!" he said When the pearl merchants wouldn't meet his price, Blas Salazar presented the fabulous gem to the madonna of the church of La Paz. "the House of Salazar shall be favored in heaven, now and forever," he proudly proclaimed and firmly believed. But there were others who belived a curse had surly been brought down upon Salazar and Son and their fleet, for the Manta Diablo, monster devilfish, would reclaim his treasure. And it was young Ramon who would have to undo the evil he had begun.
Film adaptation[edit]
In 1977, Saul Swimmer directed the U.S.-Spanish co-production The Black Pearl aka La Perla Negra.

ARTICALS UNDER CONTRUCTION MAINLY![edit]

A mineral is a naturally occurring, usually inorganic, homogenous solid with a definite chemical composition that is variable within fixed limits and has a highly ordered atomic arrangement.
Minerals have four characteristics[edit]
You use minerals all the time. Every time you turn on a microwave oven or a TV you depend on minerals. The copper in the wires that carry electricity to the device is a mineral. Table salt or halite, is another mineral that you use in your everyday life. Minerals have four characteristics. A mineral is a substance that
- forms in nature
- is a solid
- has a definite chemical makeup
- has a crystal structure
You might think that minerals and rocks are the same things. But a mineral must have the four characteristics. A rock has only two of these characteristics—it is a solid and it forms naturally. A rock usually contains two or more rypes of minerals. Two samples of the same type of rock may vary greatly in the amounts of different minerals they contain. Minerals, however, are always made up of the same materials in the same proportions. A ruby is a mineral. Therefore, a ruby found in India has the same makeup as a ruby found in Australia.
Formed in Nature[edit]
Minerals are formed by natural processes. Every type of mineral can form in nature by processes that do not involve living organisms. As you will read, a few minerals can also be produced by organisms as part of their shells or bones.
Minerals form in many ways. The mineral halite, which is used as table salt, forms when water evaIorates in a hot, shallow part of the ocean, leaving behind the salt it contained. Many types of minerals, including the ones in granite develop when molten rock cools. Talc, a mineral that can be used to mnake baby powder, forms deep in Earth as high pressure and temperature cause changes in solid rock.
Solid[edit]
A mineral is a solid—that is, it has a definite volume and a rigid shape. Volume refers to the amount of space an object takes up. For example a golf ball has a smaller volume than a baseball, and a baseball has a smaller volume than a basketball.
A substance that is a liquid or a gas is not a mineral. However, in some cases its solid form is a mineral. For instance, liquid water is nol a mineral, but ice is.
Definite chemical Makeup[edit]
Each mineral has a definite chemical makeup: it consists of a specific combination of atoms of certain elements. An element is a substance that contains only one type of atom. In turn, an atom is the smallest particle an element can be divided into. Everything you can see or touch is made up of atoms. Some substances, including the minerals gold and copper, consist of just one element. All the atoms in gold or copper are of the same type. However, most substances contain atoms of more than one element. Most minerals are compounds, substances consisting or several elements in specific proportions. Halite, for example, has one atom of sodiun for every atom of chlorine. The types of atoms that make up a mineral are part of what makes the mineral unique. The way in iich the atoms are bonded, or joined together, is also important. As you will read. many properties of minerals are related to how strong or weak the bonds are.
Crystal Structure[edit]
If you look closely at the particles of ice that make up frost, you will notice that they have smooth, flat surfaces. These flat surfaces form because of the arrangement of atoms in the ice, which is a mineral. Such an internal arrangement is a characteristic of minerals. It is the structure of a crystal, a solid in which the atoms are arranged in an orderly, repeating three-dimensional pattern. Each mineral has its own type of crystal structure. In some cases, two minerals have the same chemical composition but different crystal structures. For example, both diamond and graphite consist of just one element—carbon. But the arrangements of the carbon atoms in these two minerals are not the same, so they have different crystal structures and very different properties. Diamonds are extremely hard and have a brilliant sparkle. Graphite is soft, gray, and dull. In nature, a perfect crystal is rare. One can grow only when a mineral is free to form in an open space—a condition that rarely exists within Earth's crust. The photographs on page 47 show examples of nearly perfect crystals. The amount of space available for growth intluences the shape and size of crystals. Most crystals have imperfect shapes because their growth was limited by other crystals forming next to them.
Minerals are grouped according to composition[edit]
Scientists classiry minerals into groups on the basis of their chemical makeups. The most common group is the silicates. All the minerals in this group contain oxygen and silicon—the two most common elements in Earth's crust—ioined together. Though there are thousands of different minerals, only about 30 are common in Earth's crust. These 30 minerals make up most rocks in the crust. For that reason, they are called rock-forming minerals. Silicates, which make up about 90 percent or the rocks in Earth’s crust, are the most common rock-forming minerals. Quartz, feldspar, and mica are common silicates. The second most common group of rock-forming minerals is the carbonates. All the minerals in this group contain carbon and oxygen joined together. Calcite, which is common in seashells, is a carbonate mineral. There are many other mineral groups. All are important, even though their minerals may not be as common as rock-forming minerals. For instance, the mineral group known as oxides contains the minerals from which most metals, such as tin and copper, are refrned. An oxide consists of an element, usually a metal, joined to oxygen. This group includes hematite, a source of iron.
