Archean

energy source and an abundance of biologically important elements. It is believed that hydrothermal vents during Archean Earth are nearly identical to modern hydrothermal vents (Baross and Hoffman, 1985). As a result, hydrothermal vents would be able to provide a continuous energy source to the first cells, protocells because modern hydrothermal vents are able to generate a continuous source of energy. In addition, it is believed that hydrothermal vents are able to facilitate precursors of organic material into organic material, while also retaining a pH levels that would allow protocells to emerge and evolve (Baross and Hoffman, 1985). This theory also is able to explain the short geologic time gap between the formation of oceans and the emergence of life because hydrothermal vents are found inside the oceans; if this theory is true, life did not emerge at least until hydrothermal formed, which requires an ocean; this would help explain the short time gap. Hence, this theory is a promising and compelling because it is able to solve a majority of the prerequisites, but it did not resolve all of…

Curiosity killed the cat. Curiosity killed humanity. Everyone knows that first saying. It’s very true in all places of life, starting all the way at the beginning of life when the first Archeans started to rap thin layers of sediment with their sticky filaments, and continuing on until all of present and future life cease to exist. It’s just the nature of living beings. There will always be more to know and learn and we will always want to know and learn more than that. Human beings continually…

ties his body to a horse chariot and drags his body through the town. It states in “The Iliad”, “Behind both fat he pierced the tendons, heel to ankle. Rawhide cords he drew through both and lashed them to his chariot, letting the mans head trail” (82). I think Achilles feeling towards his friend Patroclus, did justify the way he treated Hector. The epic heroes Achilles and Beowulf are both great warriors when it comes to fighting and war. Beowulf realized the dangers of war and his work but…

Let us tell the story of Achilles and Agamemnon, of their rage and of their rivalry, of their stubbornness and weakness. We shall begin when Chryses approached Archean residence to ask for the return of his daughter, bringing along with him a handsome ransom. To be so brave must mean that Chryses is a very loyal father, as parents should be. Agamemnon, Chryseis’ captor, refused very bluntly, in his stubborn way, feeling that giving in to this priest’s request would make him seem weak- that…

Achilles begs his mother, Thetis, to help him convince Zeus to take his side in the war and kill the Archean army for revenge. Thetis, angry for her son, goes to Zeus and begs him to help Achilles. [H]onor my son Achilles!-- doomed to the shortest life of any man on earth. And now the lord of men Agamemnon has disgraced…

marched out to war” (18.598-602). This is the anthesis of the first city, these people are not on their feet dancing and youthful, but seem rugged and courageously determined to fight off the besiegers for the honor of their peers and city. This is the physical embodiment of the martial code however, these aren 't heroes or gods, they are just normal people that Homer has embody the spirit of the martial code to represent the heroes and gods of his epic poem in the physical world. The martial…

Introduction Adakites are volcanic rocks that are diagnostic of high temperature, high pressure conditions, (Stevenson, 2005). Their composition ranges from felsic to intermediate, and are characterized by assemblages of plagioclase, and often amphibole, and are identified by their unique geochemical signatures. Adakite is named Adak Island, Alaska, where it was first documented,(Defant and Drummond, 1990). They are often formed through the partial melting of a young subducting slab of…

A being who always needs it to be their own way or another is basically just showing how greedy they are. For example, in the beginning of the book, Achilles had decided to take action since Agamemnon would not. He called for an assembly of troops and upset the orders by doing this, he then attempted to withdrawal himself and the other troops from the Archean army (Homer, Book 1). He did this his own way, not by any orders from the commanders or anybody else, he decided he would take his own…

Agamemnon: He is the king of Achaean army and the brother of Sparta. Agamemnon is a self-centered and offensive leader. Agamemnon rejects Apollo’s present and that's why there is a lot of Greeks dying. Also, Agamemnon does not want to give Chryseis Daughter back without a prize. Patroclus: Patroclus is Achilles best friend. Patroclus cares about Achilles and what he does. Patroclus is also the adviser of Achilles. Odysseus: Odysseus is a noble warrior and intelligent hero. Odysseus is also…

It is interpreted to extend southwards into the United States below the Williston basin and extends northeast into Nunavut and northern Quebec wrapping around the Archean Superior craton (Ansdell, 2005). The THO is the end result of the closure of the Manikewan Ocean (Stauffer, 1984) which resulted in the formation juvenile crust which was eventually accreted onto the Archean Superior and Hearne cratons as well as a number of smaller cratons including the Sask Craton (Lewry et al.,1994). The…
