about that because the occurrence chance is very small Shi).

When I asked Changlong Shi that if human beings would be extinct due to a meteorite in the future, his answer was “No.” He argues that although a serious dystopia will come after a meteorite hits the earth, the human being will not be extinct due to technology (Shi). He explains that…

A meteor is a flash of light caused when a space particle burns up in our atmosphere. A meteorite is what we call when a rock from space actually lands on Earth. Primitive meteorites are essentially unchanged since the birth of the solar system. Processed meteorites are fragments of larger asteroids that underwent differentiation. 8. The Kuiper Belt is a ring of comets that orbit the Sun beyond the orbit of Neptune. The Oort…

Brianna Susnak Mini-Project #1 1. The six steps of the formation of the solar system are: • Gravitational collapse—the protostellar cloud collapses into a rotating disk. This disk increases in temperature and rotation rate, due to the conservation of energy and angular momentum. The rotating cloud is flattened into a disk, and the materials in the disk move in a circular motion. The material in this disk forms planets that orbit in the same way that the material from which they are formed…

People fear what they do not know. Ignorance breeds intolerance. In this very moment, intolerant hands and minds are bringing about the victimization and dehumanization of a citizen of this world. In most recent news, an executive order in the United States of America was made calling for a temporary ban on visas for individuals from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia; a 120-day suspension of the resettlement of all refugees; and an indefinite ban on the resettlement of Syrian…

earth. Most scientist believe that gold was not formed here on earth that came from large meteorite. When the earth was being formed iron went into the middle of the earth’s core when the iron went into the core it took other heavy metals with it like gold. Most of the earth’s gold is still there in the earth’s core. The gold found closer to the earth surface is believed to be brought here by recent meteorites. Gold ca not be man-made like diamond what is here on earth is all we have making it…

changed her mind, walked to the door that led from the kitchen to the back porch and then joined her daughter in the backyard. "What are you looking at?" She asked as she turned around to see what had enthralled her youngest child. "Possible meteorite." Susanna said, pointing off in the distance at a bright object headed their way. "The radio announcers said that the comet that was passing in Earth's atmosphere would likely break up into pieces today and that we would have small chunks."…

over earth. This warmed the surface leading to evaporation and condensation process to begin creating rain and eventually oceans of liquid water. Afterwards Earth was bombarded with meteorites containing minerals, water and amino acids – vital ingredients for life, which settled down in sea beds. Protein based meteorites transformed into single celled bacteria and started photosynthesis using sunlight, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. This was the turning point, as the abundance of this gas…

In Cherry Lewis’s "The Dating Game", she analyzes the autobiography of Arthur Holmes, the English geologist known for his advancements in radioactive dating and theories on the Earth and how it has aged. To put it into perspective, the book tracks how ideas vary vastly over one man’s day. Arthur Holmes was an influential pioneer in the findings and research of his theory in the mid 1800's, so Kelly depicts his views as time has passed. Through the use of literary analysis, autobiographies, and…
