Meteorite

The element I selected for the Element Research Project is Osmium. Osmium’s chemical symbol is Os. Osmium’s atomic mass is 190 amu. Osmium’s atomic number is 76, it has 76 protons and 76 electrons. Osmium also has 114 neutrons. Osmium belongs to the transition metal group in the middle of the periodic table. Osmium’s Bohr model with electric configuration has two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second shell, eighteen is the third shell, thirty two in the fourth shell, fourteen in the…

Durand, in her essay, Ecology of Poetry, argues that the form and function of poetry, and especially of ecopoetics, should aim to reflect ecological processes rather than follow traditions of earlier nature poetry, which can be characterized by the ‘thingification’ of non-human objects through the view of human-subjects when perceiving natural object-landscapes, -animals, -organisms, etc. While modern human understanding of our interactions and relationship with our environment has cleaved us…

Cormac McCarthy is known for his dense literary style and heavy use of metaphor, both of which tend to make his writing difficult to interpret. The passage I have chosen for explication comes at the beginning of Chapter 14 of Blood Meridian just after the disbanding of the Sociedad at Chiuaua because of the massacre of the unnamed city and soldiers. The men have just started westward and there is a price of eight thousand pesos on Glanton’s head. A majority of the passage is taken up by…

distracted and disintigrated. Consequently, Earth had loosed own mass and it led to huge changes. Because of the usage of Astanium the gravitational balance was imbalanced. Furthermore, Scientists identified that in 7 years the planet would become meteorite. From that moment core of Earth and its nature had started to change. And it was on;y begging of an algorithm that changed the legacy and physics of human…

the planet in the geological dormant for millions of years. The main relief shapes on Mercury are plateaus "moon-like", wrinkled ridges called the dorsum, mountain ranges, basins, canyons. The ground of Mercury has crumbled due to the impact of meteorites and soil erosion due to rapid daily variations in temperature. Overall knowledge of the geology and geomorphology of Mercury are based for now only on research spacecraft Mariner 10 in 1975 and the first telescope from Earth. Consequently,…

In the novel Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien, Ann lives in a valley with a self-contained weather system, referred to in the story as a "meteorological enclave." This valley is completely unaffected by the weather outside; therefore, it is protected from the radiation fallout after the nuclear war. After reading the novel, a question that rose was whether a meteorological enclave was theoretically possible? I concluded that that a theoretical meteorological enclave is possible, after…

Dinosaurs, a dominating specie living in the Earth long time ago, extinct mysteriously. Paleontologists and scientists have established a variety of possible theories to explain. However, all these theories are still debatable.There are four main possible explanations: Asteroid Impact, Volcano Eruption, Falling Tide and Asteroid Impact theory was established by Luis Alvarez in 1980.Many plants and animals were disappeared abruptly from the fossil record as one moves from layers of rocks…

(Berry, 1925). The concept has recently been brought up again, challenging the relevance of the human imprint (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000; Zalasiewicz et al., 2008). Unlike the previous eras in Earth’s history, which were marked by huge events such as meteorite strikes and global ice ages, this era is marked by the human species. Humans have created sediment impounding dams, have cut down entire forests, altered ecosystems, and have drilled deep mines into the Earth, and the consequences for such…

smiling to the cameras for a perfect picture with the breath-taking landscape. Situated meters down the top, the small, green and beautiful islands are surrounded by a wide greenish and calm lake making it look like surreal. The rock looks like a meteorite that fell from the sky in the middle of the lake breaking the land around it creating the small islands. The view is outstanding and inspiring, but not only that; the atmosphere around me is picturesque and warm, full of handicrafts and local…

was thought of by by the scientists Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779–1848), Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) (1824–1907) and Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894). The claim is that all things were there at first but in tiny forms. The experiment is there was meteorite was blasted off space from the surface of mars about 15 million was found in Antarctica which made the idea of the theory. The evidence is the found little gatherings of air with living clumps. The reasoning was that a meteoroid had tiny…
