There is evidence of grooves and craters in the land where water would have flowed similar to the rivers, channels, and lakes on Earth. The textbook notes runoff channels that were “found in the southern highland” (Chaisson & McMillan, 2014, p 245), similar to our rivers, and outflow channels where large amounts of water drained “from the southern highlands into the northern plains” (Chaisson & McMillan, 2014, p 245). Also, chemical compounds found in the rocks suggested that there was water on the planet. Rocks found in the huge Endurance crater showed evidence that they had been wet before. The crater was huge (over 300 feet long) which could hold an immense amount of water. Why do scientists think Mars once had an extensive ocean? Where
The Moon has no atmosphere and so even the smallest asteroids impact it’s surface which led to its heavily cratered appearance still observable today. The majority of these craters are thought to have been made during a period known as the ‘heavy bombardment’ from objects left in the Sun’s accretion disk.
It is theorized that during the latter part of the Cenozoic era, also known as the age of mammals that the Wisconsin glaciation caused enough of the planet’s water
In last couple year’s evidence of water on mars has grown exponentially. The geography of Mars suggests that water was once there. This is because they have found runoff channels in the southern highlands and outflow channels that are almost exact to how they are on Earth, which obviously does have water. The Mars Reconnaissance Observer and Mars Express found deposits of clay in the southern highlands that some researchers say is a strong sign that water was there. Some others argue that the clay could be formed by other elements on Mars, such as wind. Also, the Mars Express detected hydrated’ chemical compounds in the surface of rocks over large areas, which means it
After more then 40,000 years of activity, one would expect that people would no longer live in the surrounding shadow of Mt. St. Helens. But regardless, many towns and cities sit inside of a zone that would face destruction if a large eruption took place. In 1980 Mt. St. Helens erupted and caused the loss of many lives and the destruction of thousands of miles of land and property. Following the eruption, the volcano has stayed extremely active. In 2004 it erupted again, building a new lava dome and sending ash and steam into the atmosphere. Since then, seismologists and volcanologists have recently discovered pockets of magma rising and that another eruption may occur soon. Even though the people of Washington know that an eruption could cause widespread devastation they continue with their lives, doing little to prepare for the potential disaster.
The final piece of evidence for a worldwide flood is the Grand Canyon. An article describing the Grand Canyon states, “The general scientific consensus, updated at a 2010 conference, holds that the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon beginning 5 million to 6 million years ago.” (Zimmermann, 2013) However, it is obvious that the Colorado river could not have carved the Grand Canyon. It is much too small to carve such an enormous monument, and it shows a surprising lack of erosion for being millions of years old. (The Grand Canyon, n.d.) One problem with evolutionists’ theory is the numerous side canyons formed just as deep with no visible water source. (Brown, 1995-2013) Also, why are there no other Grand Canyons around the world that were created with larger and more powerful rivers? (Brown, 1995-2013) A massive amount of around eight hundred cubic miles of sediments were excavated from the Grand Canyon, yet the Colorado River’s delta, the section at the mouth of the river where sediments eroded by the river are deposited, contains less than one percent of this material. (Brown, 1995-2013) So where did it all go? A worldwide flood is the most plausible explanation. As the crust buckled and shifted, the water from the flood drained off of high levels into the ocean basins and any low places. (Brown, 1995-2013) The Colorado Plateau was lifted around six thousand two hundred feet, carrying two large post-Flood lakes with it, the Grand Lake and Hopi Lake. (Brown,
evidence to show that water is in existence today. Looked tidally by Mars are two moons;
We all get to see a glimpse of it every day, as many Oregonians have it as their license plate. That little picture on the license plate of course being Crater Lake; the ninth deepest lake in the United States (Reichemann). Crater Lake formed thousands of years ago due to a mountain erupting. Throughout the National Park we could see remains of rocks and minerals from the explosion. Crater Lake is one of the nicest and monumental lakes throughout the Pacific North West.
All the evidence collected from the different cultures suggests that a worldwide flood did occur. A flood of this size would have needed more water than the Earth currently has. If all the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere fell to the Earth in rainfall right now, it would only increase the world's sea levels by two inches. How could it be possible for the world to be covered in water when there isn't enough water on Earth? Two possibilities are that the water flooding the world did not just come from rainfall, and the Earth before this great flood was much different than afterwards.
There are 1,900 active volcanoes on Earth (National Geographic, 2016). Mount St. Helens, located in the Cascade Range which stretches across Washington is one of the volcanoes located in The United States. When a volcano erupts it can causes extensive damage in the wilderness and nearby civilizations.
Forrest Edward Mars Sr. was born in 1904 to Frank C Mars and Ethel G Kissack. Forrest first got his taste for the Mars company because his father made butter cream candy from their kitchen in the home in Tacoma, Washington. Frank expands his candy making to Minnesota and crafts what is called the Nougat House in which the candy then were called Patricia chocolates. From the Nougat house, the Milky Way candy bar is introduced and becomes an instant success, where full-time sales staff have to be hired. In 1929, the company becomes Mars Incorporated and Frank works hard enough to make the years amazing, with Forrest newly entering the business. Snickers are launched in 1930, while Forrest moves to the United Kingdom in hopes of working on his
So, true it does show that disaster is impulsive no matter what we try to do. Also, the eruption of Mt. Helens did give many individuals data about what transpires before and during eruptions. The amazing part to me was the lump on the side of the volcano that was fulling up with lava. Additionally, these natural landmarks (volcanoes) are astonishing but we must be very cautious about them.
The Clearwater Craters are two craters located right next to each other in Quebec, Canada. The eastern crater is 26 km in diameter, while the western crater has a diameter of 36 km. These craters were originally believed to be created by the same impact. However, in recent research, it has been argued that perhaps these craters were formed at different times.
In the article, “Mars Pebbles Carried for Miles by River”, the author mainly talks about that one reason for the proof of water on Mars is erosion. The pebbles that were found on Mars were round and smooth showing that the water had moved these pebbles and caused them to hit one another. A model created by Domokos, a mathematician, was able to figure out the pebble’s shape and weight that changed as it hit other objects. Researchers were able to calculate that the rocks probably traveled about thirty miles. These researchers believe that the source for the rocks moving is water. The worn out smooth rocks show that there was water on Mars. This article explains that water could be found on Mars because of erosion, which definitely gives us one
Apollo asteroids are small celestial objects in comparison with other planets but are large enough to cause significant damage to earth and organisms living in its environment. Present 30 known asteroids are with diameters ranging from 0.2-8km. Orbital perturbations by the planets might cause asteroids to collide with earth. The probability of an asteroid colliding with the earth is well defined and certainly non-zero. Earth and the asteroid might meet the intersection point where the asteroid would be able to strike our planet. An impact from such asteroid would create an enormous crater being 20 times the size of the celestial body itself. After impacting the earth's lithosphere it would eject the mass from the crater about 100 times the
There was a carbonate ion in the hydrosphere that was named Carl. He’s lived as a carbonate ion in groundwater for hundreds of years. After a few hundred years, Carl precipitated out as travertine at Havasu Falls. At this point, he’s transformed into travertine. Now, he’s heading for the lithosphere - limestone.
