Magma

This paper is an overview of dawn mission which was launched in September 2007 by NASA to study two of the large bodies in the asteroid belt and these protoplanets are Vesta and Ceres. The dawn mission was a mission that was designed to travel to the center of the main asteroid belt to orbit and study two of the largest belt asteroid and those belt asteroids are Vesta and Ceres. Dawn was not only sent to study and understand the present states of Vesta and Ceres, and it was also sent there to…

The U.S. Geological Survey’s article, “Plate Tectonics in a Nutshell,” describes how convection currents can cause hot magma to reach the surface along divergent plate boundaries. Iceland, in fact, is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is exactly that type of divergent plate boundary. This is the beginning of the rock cycle where brand new rocks on the Earth’s surface…

Adair Park Field Trip was a really great experience where you get to see many different types of rocks and many diverse examples of minerals. This trip happened on Saturday November 1, 2014. Several geology classes went to the field trip for the expedition, with the purpose of learning the different types of each rock and its minerals and also to identify the stones from oldest to youngest. The group leaders of this trip were several professors of geology. Professor Croxen, Garrett, Dr. B, did…

* New Evidence That Demands a Verdict — named one the twentieth century’s top 40 books and one of the thirteen most influential books of the last 50 years on Christian thought by World Magazine. * I did my research from the book, New Evidence That Demands a Verdict. This book is separated into four parts and I focused on Part 1: The Case for the Bible. Slide 7: * In New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, Josh McDowell expresses his reasoning for the truth in Christianity through his…

Martyn’s entrance turned heads when he walked into the crowded restaurant. It was only for a furtive glance though. The diners quickly returned their attention back to the plates in front of them. As if they were not interested. Yet a shift in the atmosphere was marked by the stillness descending on the room. The conversation had stopped. Many of the diners looked as though they were shrinking like turtles into their jackets and chairs. Hoping they would not be singled out for a glance from the…

It seems like yesterday that I would sit in front of the screen watching the motorcycles race around the track at insane speeds. The way the motorcycles rounded the corners and ripped apart the straightaways awakened a raging fire deep in the pit of my stomach that would seem only intensify with as I grew older. Every since I was a young boy I was fascinated with motorcycles. I would love to see them as they would pass by mom’s car on the freeway, or whenever we would go to the store in our…

1 Camila Rejalaga Sept 24,2017 Earth 101 Volcano Project 2. What we learned from Mount Saint Helens: Surprises and New Science from the Eruption (Brochure) Welcome to Mt. Saint Helens Park Visitor Center! To better understand Mt. Saint Helens we must first go back to 1980. Although some of you might not have been born yet it was in that year that the US experienced its most destructive volcanic eruption in its history. Most of you might have already guessed it but it happened right here…

Have you ever heard of the theory of plate tectonics? Around the beginning of the 1960s the discovery of this theory started an uprising in the study of earth sciences. Between now and then, this theory has been confirmed by scientists, who are able to formulate a much better understanding of how plate tectonics shaped the way our planet is today. It is now knows that plate tectonics has or has had at least some influence over almost all geologic processes. AS I’m sure you can imagine, the idea…

Chicken-Lil, Nature summoned the legendary Puu, an old fat panda mastered in the art of fighting, to the young chicklet and hoped for the best as Puu trained the young child. Meanwhile, under countless, deep, fissured bedrocks and layers of overflowing magma, the fiery scent of burnt metal awakened the awe-inspiring Hot-Wings. Like kung-fu master Puu, Frir, a good friend of Mr. KFC who was summoned here by Nature, have heard the cracking of earth and soared down to investigate the situation. To…

Prehistoric times have been a mystery for modern humans for centuries. These times span from the formation of the Earth, about 4.5 billion years ago, all the way to the Iron Age, which ended about 3,200 years ago. This paper will be discussing the Precambrian times first, due to it being the oldest period in Earth's history. The next paragraph will talk about the Phanerozoic eon, which contained the first forms of life on Earth. The last paragraph will be about the most recent period, which has…
