Destroying The Planet: A Short Story

The article explains the consequences of their efforts to drill into the Chicxulub crater in Mexico, the site where the asteroid supposedly struck. There was a lot of arguments as to which scientist would take the core section to analyze. In the end

Impact craters are geologic structures formed when a large meteorite, asteroid or comet smashes in to a planet or a satellite. Meteorites are small rocks in space that hit the earth's atmosphere at a high velocity. Throughout their history they have heavily bombarded all the inner bodies in our solar system. In this experiment we will use marbles as our meteorites, these will be free falling objects that will be used to copy an asteroid impact. The surfaces of the Moon, Mars and Mercury, where other geologic processes stopped millions of years ago, record this bombardment clearly. On the Earth, however, which has been

After the hit, the agency and found the beacon and when they studied it they learn that it was from the planet Daxam. They tried to communicate with them, but nothing went through. A few days after the evacuation the agency saw a ship above the city. The Daxamite leaders came out and said, “This meteor is a test to see how earthlings handle special gifts. If they are used as good Earth will stay, but if it is used for evil Earth will be terminated.” But later the Daxamites found out that mear students were exposed, and decided to terminated Earth. Later the students convinced them to give them a chance, so the leaders gave them 1 week to prove that they were responsible enough to handle the

During the Second World War, the Allied invasion of Europe began through a plan known as Destruction Day. Destruction day, otherwise known as D-Day, was the beginning of the fall of Nazi Germany. Beginning their campaign against Germany in this large-scale invasion, the United States of America and their citizens were encouraged and ready to fight. Compared to their Canadian allies; who have been fighting in the war for nearly five years, the American soldiers were more than excited to be fighting in the war. The Canadian approach to the Second World War, and especially D-Day, were more of a reasonable and cautious approach, as they have seen the disasters of the war so far.

Introduction In the “Colour Out of Space” by H.P. Lovercraft, the meteor that hit earth was the strangest thing the town of Arkham had ever seen. Something else had also came down that day, other than that rock. The meteorite had hit earth without any warning and it had frightened the people very much. The scientists tried to figure out what the rock thing was but they had no clue, and it was just so strange for the people of Arkham.

“Maybe we could get closer,” she said encouragingly. “Enough to catch a bit of its gravity you know, pull ourselves in or something. Nevermind that’s stupid we would definitely die then.”

Miranda is a normal sixteen-year-old girl who lives in a normal American town. The students at her school are all excited to see an asteroid hit the moon. When it actually happens, everyone realizes the danger. The impact of the asteroid knocks the moon

Many people often assume the asteroid completely wiped off the land and marine species with just the impact of the asteroid, but was rather the tipping point of what came next. In fact Choi stated that “ "We have shown that these events are synchronous to within a gnat's eyebrow, and therefore, the impact clearly played a major role in extinctions, but it probably wasn't just the impact.” ( Choi). The ultimate reasons for the dinosaurs and other species extinction was the blockage of sunlight which initially darkened and chilled to earth to extreme temperatures ( Jones). At this point many animals and even plants started to die off because of the chilling conditions, but that wasn't the only reason for the extinction of these species. Soon after the dust had settled and the earth was able to receive light, the planet initiated a greenhouse affect. Which not only put the remaining species at high temperatures, but their food also became inhabitable (Choi). The evidence of an asteroid theory is supported by the impact crater, rare metal, melted rock, fractured crystals, and the fossil record (Jones). The impact crater is actually one the main key examples of why the asteroid may have been responsible for the cretaceous mass extinction. It showed the asteroid landing on the Yucatan peninsula, and traveling at 30 kilometers per second (Jones). Not

“No sir, it can't be. It began to slow down, and has moved out of your course. We think it may be another ship, sir.”

Just out the front window of the shuttle, John could see a giant asteroid, and he was headed right towards it! John veered out of the pathway of the asteroid just in time.

NGS integrates greenhouse into other major policy initiatives, such as the Natural Heritage Trust, and launches new measures to increase greenhouse emission reduction activities across the Australian community. It provides the strategic framework for an effective greenhouse response and for meeting current and future international commitments. It will provide a fresh impetus for action by governments, stakeholder groups and the broader community and set directions for that action into the next century.

However, this happened around 50,000 years ago, resulting in a crater 1 mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 700 feet deep. The impact of the meteor had energy of more than 20-million tons of TNT, and shook the southwestern plain for miles. The meteor left little evidence of its origin behind, it vaporized on impact with the earth. Moreover, erosion has done little to change the original crater.

The destruction of the Earth’s environment is known by almost every human alive. Our planet is time and again being attacked by the dominant human race. People treat the earth as if it does not have a role in our survival as a species. This assault on the environment has been going on for centuries and has brought about consequences that many of us cannot even fathom. If the world is anything like the environment depicted in the novel He, She, and It, the world we know today will be seen as a haven. The environment in the novel as horrible as it may be, is not far from reality. Deterioration of the earth’s environment, population growth, depletion of our resources and world poverty are all issues that point to the future shown in He, She and It. The possibility that we could annihilate ourselves has never been more real. However, our species is one of the most adaptable creatures on Earth, and with our developing technology we might just be able to salvage the world we have left.
