kilometres per second. (10) For an asteroid that is 10 kilometres across, like the Chicxulub impactor, it is very hard for it to slow down when it is coming through the Earth's atmosphere. As stated in Stage 1, the atmosphere usually burns up the rocky body but when a much larger object is travelling at 30 kilometres per second, the air friction will not slow it down as much. (11) A lot of the time asteroids explode in the air before they hit the ground. The huge pressure forces caused by the…

I still do not and will not ever understand how this happened and after hundreds of years still stands in court. The Doctrine of Discovery has really shook my relationship with the Church which has already been on rocky grounds since my high school graduation last year. This doctrine was the tipping point in my recent appreciation that being a follower of Jesus does not need to coincide with following the Church. Jesus was a middle-eastern Jewish radical that spent…

America and even New Zealand report tornadoes every year. No state is immune from tornadoes, but most occur in the deep south and in the broad, flat basin between the Rockies and the Appalachians (Weather Underground). Most frequently found in the United States, tornadoes occur in many parts of the world (All About Tornadoes). East of the Rocky Mountains, during the spring and summer months, 800 to 1,000 tornadoes are reported nationwide yearly. Resulting in 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries, no…

Speaking in Numbers: The Language of Mathematics Literacy is commonly used to refer to one’s ability to speak and decipher a language. However, it is possible to be literate in areas or skills besides traditional spoken language. For example, it is possible to be literate in sign language, or mathematics. After all, mathematics is defined by Dictionary.com as “the systematic treatment of magnitude, relationships between figures and forms, and relations between quantities expressed symbolically.”…

Coyotito’s death was a surprise because Coyotito had survived so much, Juana would protect her son to no end, and it seemed incredibly safe inside the cave for Juana and her son. First, the strength and health of Coyotito were ample. For him to be killed at the end of the book was quite surprising, considering he had persevered through being stung by a scorpion. As described by the narrator on page 8, “An adult might be very ill from the sting, but a baby could easily die from the poison.” All…

Why did The Federal Government want Aboriginal Peoples to sign treaties? The Canadian Federal Government wanted the Aboriginals to sign the treaties to avoid wars with them. They had also wanted to get them signed by the aboriginals to get ownership over the lands. That is why the Federal government wanted the Aboriginal Peoples to sign the treaty to take their lands and have power and control over the lands giving the First Nations People only some lands (reserves) to have bands live on…

1,500-2,450 pounds. Females tend to grow larger than males and some specimens have been recorded exceeding 20 feet (6 metres) and weighing up to 5000 pounds. The Great White has a slate, grey upper body which aids them when trying to blend in with rocky coastal sea floor and their name derives from their white underbellies. Their powerful tails can propel them through the water at speeds of 24km/h due to their extremely streamlined, torpedo shaped bodies. Such force is produced…

Geography of Guinea Guinea has a relatively tropical climate. The temperatures range from the seventies to the hundreds during the day, and forties to fifties at night. However, the placement within these temperatures is determined based on the dry and wet seasons. Near the cost, the temperatures tend to be lower and more rainfall occurs annually. In the northern parts of Guinea, it is drier and slightly hotter due to the Sahara winds. Guinea is also rich in mineral deposits. These deposits…

The Concealed Carry Act was chiefly written by the County Sheriffs of Colorado and was founded on the permit-issuance strategies established by Sheriff Jim Alderdan. The process for supplying a permit is neutral in predictable cases. Colorado law goes beyond and permits the sheriff to make optional rejections as long as they are made within reason. The sheriff may reject a carry-permit application if the sheriff “has a reasonable belief that documented previous behavior by the applicant makes it…

their was a total of five falls, all together. Each falls measuring about 12 miles. Once we were there we had to leave and continue on our journey. Unexpectedly it took us one month to pass the falls. What was on the other side of the falls were the Rocky mountains. June 30, 1805, we have discovered a new plant that looks like a lady’s slipper. We were near the Lolo hot springs, when we found the plant. It was white and dull purple, leafy, and the petals were symmetrical. July 6,…
