Meteorite

A Tsunami is a natural disaster and can be generated by any large, impulsive displacement of the sea level. An example of this is earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater, landslides into or under the water surface, volcanic activity and meteorite impacts. Two tsunamis occur per year throughout the world which inflict damage near the source. Approximately every 15 years a destructive, ocean-wide tsunami occurs. Tsunamis travel approximately 700kph in 4000m depth of sea water, when reaching…

September 10 and dug up by excavation team which was shocked by its massive size.The original asteroid was estimated to have weighed about 600 tons and entered Earth's atmosphere at 14,000 kilometres per hour, where it broke up into a shower of smaller meteorites, according to Scientific American. August -Stanford lled a research shows that they were emerging in the memory technology, based on a new class of semiconductor materials, will deliver the best of both worlds, storing data permanently…

many other particles. If a lot of these particles collide they form nodules which are particles that have high concentrations of certain metals, nodules are found on the deep sea floor. Finally the Cosmogenous sediment is formed from macroscopic meteorite from outer space. Sediment type often determines the different types of organisms that will be found in that area. “Researchers found that water off the coast of Washington is gradually warming at a depth of 500 meters, about a third of a…

Scientists have discovered that during life on Earth there has been 5 mass extinctions. These mass extinctions are said to be a normal part  of life and might even be an important factor for life on Earth. The main mass extinctions that have been discovered are the Ordovician Mass Extinction, the Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and the Cretaceous Mass Extinction. Scientists now even believe that we are not only part of the problem but the main subjects of the sixth mass extinction caused by…

penniless because you spend all you had and quit your job, that’s when you start asking yourself why the world didn’t end? The good news is that you still alive, the bad one is that you shouldn’t have quit your job based in pseudoscience. Now, if a meteorite is in the trajectory of the earth and scientists prognosticated that it will crash our planet in one month, start packing up and planning that trip that you never made because science is…

Moon: Theia Impact or “Big Splash” Theory: When in Earth was still in a molten state, an impactor (Theia) collided with the still forming Earth. Debris and magma that separated from the original body is believed to have congregated and formed into our moon, remaining in its “parent’s” orbit. (Most Plausible Explanation) Fission Theory: Chunk of magma separated from Earth in early formation stages. Pacific ocean basin is said to be where material was removed. Capture Theory: The moon was formed…

Post 1 (Did You Know) Image Text: King Tutankhamun was buried with a dagger made out of meteorite iron! AT: Tutankhamun was mummified more than 3,300 years ago and ancient Egyptians attached great significance to meteoritic iron for the production of fine ornamental or ceremonial objects. #DidYouKnow Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-36432635 Proposed images:…

During this speech, Clinton discusses the discovery of a meteorite that was 13,000 years ago and contained fossilized Martian bacteria “Appropriately, it was the first rock to be picked up that year -- rock number 84001. Today, rock 84001 speaks to us across all those billions of years and millions of miles. It…

Earth’s biodiversity is been around for eons, one of the key factors why it have existed that long, is because of evolution and extinction. It is the nature’s way to continually adapt to the fast changing environment, though extinction is the “end of the line” of all living species; it is the key to the survival of the future generation species. But with humans around premature extinction will be a problem due to our selfishness and loss of respect to our environment. With humans also known as…

New fossil evidence suggests that dinosaurs originated early in the Middle Triassic time period, during the recovery of life from the Permian-Triassic mass extinction (Benton et al. 2014). Transient episodes of unusually warm and wet conditions, interrupting long periods of cool and dry conditions, may have played a role in mass extinctions and long-term evolutionary trends (Retallack 2013). Although the Permo-Triassic mass extinction wiped out nearly 85% of species, the crises marked the…
