Mars The Red Planet

The following is a case study of a lesson by Mr. Villanueva reviewing lessons on the planet Mars for an upcoming test. Mr. Villanueva uses many different ways of incorporating both semantic memory and episodic memory as well as the demonstration of long-term memory in his lesson. During the lesson, the importance of attention in memory and recall is seen throughout. This paper describes and inspects the Mars in Review case and what theories were incorporated into this lesson. It critically examines each aspect of this lesson and the correlation between behaviorist theories of learning.

20. Although it is much colder on Mars than on Earth, the similar tilt of Earth’s and Mars’ axes means they have similar seasons. Like Earth's, Mars’ north and south polar caps shrink in the summer and grow in the winter. In addition, a day on Mars is 24 hours 37 minutes—nearly the same as Earth’s. No other planet shares such similar characteristics with Earth.e 21. Mars’ seasons are twice as long as those on Earth because it takes Mars 687 days to orbit the sun, twice as long as Earth’s 365-day journey.a 22. With no large moon like Earth’s to stabilize it, Mars periodically tilts much more toward the sun, creating warmer summers on Mars than it otherwise would have.d 23. The Earth’s moon is 240,000 miles away. Earth’s next closest neighbor is Venus, which comes as near as 24 million miles. After the moon and Venus, Mars is our next closest neighbor at 34 million miles away—though when Mars and Earth are at the opposite sides of their orbits around the sun, they are separated by 249 million miles.e 24. Mars is home to Hellas, a vast and featureless plain that covers 1300 miles (the size of the Caribbean Sea). It was created by asteroids crashing into the planet’s surface of Mars

Its thin atmosphere and most likely a completely waterless surface shows that any life that was to land on the Red Planet would have a hard time trying to survive. At that time, when life was found on Earth, Mars had an ocean, volcanoes and deltas, the difference between Mars and Earth is Mars rapidly lost its hold on habitability. According to scientist Mars lacks the ability to have a protective magnetic field, most of the water left the surface and escaped into space, this was caused by the exposure of the surface to the cosmic rays and ultraviolet light. There were only a few packs of water left on the surface, some remained at the poles whereas others may have remained under the

The Mars One Company, is scamming its supporters millions of dollars into a fake mission! The Mars One project has remained for awhile as a legitimate company, but experts and scammed donors have found majour flaws in the Mars One Mission. Many of the experts have found several errors and discrepancies when they more closely examined the Company. This in turn has led many to conclude that Mars One is not a legitimate space agency, and people should not be investing time, resources, and money into this untrustworthy company.

Both are also made up of material that resembles type one or type 2 carbonaceous chondrites, the substance that makes up asteroids. Moreover, the average temperature of Mars is negative 65 degrees Celsius (negative 85 degrees Fahrenheit). Earth’s average temperature is 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). In comparison to the ranging temperatures in the solar system Mars wouldn’t be particularly cold nor hot, but to a human being this would be extremely cold .In addition, the planet Mars is named after the Roman God of war being, “The Red Planet.” Also Mars appearance is reddish making that another factor of why Mars is called’ “The Red Planet.” Mars was to believed to have a reddish appearance in color as early as the time of the Ancient Egyptians. Back then, they called it Har Decher, which means “Red One.” The color red is presence is due to the iron oxide dust that covers the surface only a few millimeters thick. Mars atmosphere also contains a variety of other elements, including titanium, chlorine and sulfur. However, only 18 missions to Mars have been

“We have the knowledge. We have the technology. We just need to get going.” - Ellen Stofan, NASA. As Americans, our first time landing on the moon with humans was in 1969,after 7 years of extreme advancement in technology. Since then, we have not sent humans any farther [nasa.gov]. Sure, we’ve sent rovers to Mars and those rovers are still there. We’ve attempted to reach Venus and Mercury but were incinerated on the surface. Plus Venus and Mercury are way too close so it’s a melting pot for anything that goes there. That leaves NASA with one more goal--Mars. NASA needs to get astronauts there so we can complete testing with the the weak radiation barrier that Mars has and the living conditions on the red planet. Overall, finally sending

Physical characteristics of the Mars is half the diameter of the Earth, less dense than Earth. Mars' rotational period is similar to the Earth rotation. Another interesting facts about Mars is that, it has two Moons which are Deimos and Phobos. Deimos and Phobos are small and irregular shape. Also, Mars have largest volcano and second highest known mountain and largest canyon in the Solar System. Largest volcano and highest mountain is Olympus Mons, it has a height of 25 km and it is three times as tall as Mount Everest. Largest canyon is Valles Marineris is more than 4000 km long , 200 km wide, and up to 7 km deep. It is located along the equator of the Mars. Second interesting facts about the Mars except the similarities to the Earth, is the findings on the

Mars is an interesting and mysterious planet. It is often referred to as the Red Planet. The Romans named Mars after the god of war. The rocks, soil, and sky all have a red hue on account of rust. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 141 million miles (228 million kilometers) and the last terrestrial planet from the Sun. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth (6,794-km) and about one-tenth of Earth s mass (6.419 x 1023 kg). Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Mars is probably the planet we know the most about since it is so close to Earth, though what we know now is not even close to everything about the planet. Over

I don't think men are from Mars. I think they're from Whoville, where every year they align with the Grinch and band together to ruin Christmas. Each holiday, after thoughtfully deciding on, shopping for, and wrapping the perfect presents for my boyfriend, I can't wait to see what he picked out for me. I breathlessly anticipate tearing open the perfect romantic/sentimental gift, and every year I'm sorely disappointed.

The prospect of exploring Mars and starting a new human colony there is an exciting one. Many people are eager to learn more about that possibility, and many people have ideas of what life would be like and how society would be run. An important part of running a successful colony is having a strong government to oversee the colony. If I were a part of an advisory committee for a colony on Mars, I would want my fellow advisors specific traits and characteristics that would help to advance our colony and allow it to thrive.The four other advisors to influence the society would be adaptable, open­ minded, and humble.

We like to think of space as some vast place of mystery; just waiting for us to explore it. It lives and breaths in our media, “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before (Star Trek monologue)”. The dream of one day exploring space has been around for decades. And while we have had some success in that area, there is still much more to explore. One such area of exploration is Mars. People have been interested in Mars for years now, wishing to one day colonize the red planet. And one day, we will do just that. Not only to fuel are curiosity, but also to help save our species, and bring resources back to the blue planet that we love so much.

If we consider Mars as one of our options, we should investigate more about the health challenge that we might face on the red planet. As some investigation has shown, less gravity can make the human immune system weaker. Having a weaker immune system can be very dangerous, because if bacteria infected humans during this period, it can cause catastrophic damage and/or even death. This will add more concern about the possibility of moving to Mars, because more technology would be needed to sustain humans and protect their life on the Red Planet. Stronger and more effective vaccines will be needed to keep humans healthy to prevent them from getting sick. This method would be very necessary since human immune system won’t be able to fight back

Like said before, Mars is called the Red Planet because of its color and that is because of its iron-rich minerals in the loose dust and rock covering its surface. NASA thinks that the iron minerals oxidize or rust, causing the soil to look red. The atmosphere on Mars is cold and thin which means that liquid water cannot exist (at this time) for any length of time. Mars also has the largest volcano in the solar system including Olympus Mons which is about 370 miles in diameter. Many of the regions on Mars are flat, low-lying plains. There is no exact number of craters on mars and it varies from place to place, depending on how old the surface is. Evidently, Mars is not like Earth.

For whatever reason, the planet Mars has always been synonymous with alien life in popular culture. This makes it very interesting to study. Recent studies have taught us a great deal about Mars’ surface, water content and geography as well as suggesting that it may have been capable of supporting life in the past. Further study of Mars’ ice caps, various impact craters and other sources has helped scientists glean information of the planet’s history and the wealth of information that can be gained from its study. Of course, the most popular topic about Mars is its present habitability and presence of life, both of which are still very possible. Mars will be an excellent planet to analyze due to its proximity to earth and its ability to potentially sustain life.

Scientists have ideas of how we could live there. We have the technology, but it’s getting there and staying there that’s the problem. Other planets should be considered to explore, for it would give everyone a different perspective on how we would live differently than how we do on Earth. “Today, experts believe it’s no longer a question of if we’ll ever set foot on the Red Planet, but when,” says Laurie Vazquez. Although we are nomadic
