In Naica, Mexico, a cave system is found to hold some secrets to the Earth. What is described to look like something out of fairy tales has NASA scientists excited.
These biologists are particularly interested in the ancient microbes that are laying dormant in Naica, Mexico. For these life forms to survive, it appears that they were able to exist by living off on minerals such as manganese and iron.
Penelope Boston, the current head of NASA’s Astrobiology Institute calls it super life, as reported by ABC News. Boston presented the discovery on Friday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference. The study is still on-going but if their theory of feeding off of these minerals are confirmed then this just proves
this section of CH 29 in the old book states that Americans were made to think that after the Mexican American war the United States had become a world power when in reality they did not but one thing that the war did bring to the United States was add more prestige to the nation in the eyes of the Europeans this gave America more respect in the world stage. Another thing that the chapter stated was that America did not enter the war with imperialistic motivations but eventually they fell into imperialism and that America's new friend the British were happy with their new friendship but America's rival Germany was jealous of the advances America was making and the South Americans were suspicious of the American advances. When America took the
El Norte was released in 1983 and set in the middle of Guatemalan civil war. It was directed by Gregory Nava and produced by Anna Thomas. The major theme of this movie is the struggle of young siblings to find a better life in another country as immigrants. The movie is divided into three parts: when the two siblings, Enrique and Rosa flee from their homeland because of a raged war, their attempts to cross Mexico illegally, and arrived in the United States of America, where most people think it’s a “promised land”. The main point of this movie is not the end, but the journey itself. Immigration is one of the most heated and controversial issues until now. By watching this movie, we can see the different perspective from the immigrants.
In the book “Mexico Profundo Reclaiming A Civilization” by Bonfil Bonilla shows the reality of a modern Mexico without neglecting the problems of the current government of Mexico. The Mexican society is composed by different diversities of Indigenism and of high social groups that forms two different types of Mexico such as the Mexico Profundo and the Imaginary Mexico which are different worlds that are interpreted as Mesoamerican and European civilizations. Before and after the Mexican Independence, the process from the pre-Columbian time to a modern world in Mexico, had been a complex movement, since there were battles, slavery, cultures, customs, democracy and struggles containing different experiences that lead to what makes Mexico contemporary, hence; through the historical erasure, and the people who resist colonization since the beginning of colonialism, it created a Mexico Profundo
The last article talks about the 59th Unnamed Cave, in Florida. This cave is located in the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle. From the dates of the artifacts and the dates of the glyph, the site was occupied in the Late Woodland period. The cave was discover in 2007 when a group of cave explorer saw fine engravings on the wall. This site was the first cave art site that was found in Florida and it is the second rock art site that was found in the states. Rock art is very rare in Florida, but now with the site found there is a wider perspective on the importance of rock art. The site did not only include the petroglyph drawing of the past, but it included some artifacts that was use to help date the time that the cave was occupied.
In “El Norte”, Gregory Nava states that Guatemala was dark place to live there, and that the people were pick out food with their hands. There was a lot of people working and becoming slaves for picking out the food. Another thing about El Norte is that the brother named Enrique and the sister named Rosa. Enrique was worry about his father for leaving dinner he said to Enrique “The rich came to this village from other parts looking for good land, no one fights over band land”, meaning that people only come to a rich place because the environment good, eating healthier food and they have technology. Once Arturo left enquire to meet with his worker friends, the military people can to find them, Arturo was extremely closed to escape instead the military shot. Enquire hear the gunshot and saw his father head hanging up on the tree, when enquire saw his father hanging up on the tree he was angry sad and want to kill the military people which he did three time. When they were having the funeral for Arturo everybody in the village was praying for him and other men that got killed. Everybody was dressing the same clothes and the music was sounding beautiful when Rosa was singing. The military can back to find enquire for killing them, once they were searching the place military people took his family while they Rosa and enquire were hiding inside the canyon. When enquire and Rosa find each other they both want to get out of Guatemala and head to the “North.” They both were wearing white clothes maybe representing their culture, religious or maybe their she was tired wearing the same clothes and when they left Guatemala the music was back. Enrique and Rosa are on a quest to get out of the ethnic and political repressed Guatemala and attempt to escape to the North where they can live the “American dream.” Will Enrique and Rosa live the “American dream” once they escape to the North? Can an illegal immigrant achieve the “American dream?” To answer these questions the audience you figure out what depend on the viewers.
The inspiration for the victory of New Mexico was profit. Political control encouraged these closures by giving and keeping up the profit for Euro-American folks and their Mexican partners. Socialization was important to strengthen a structure and showed values and legitimized these qualities. Amid the Spanish time frame, a sheltered zone shaped the purported Rio Abajo, the center Rio Grande Valley, with its middle in Albuquerque. New Mexico's northern limit was Santa Fe and Belén, the southern Rio Arriba was the upper part of the waterway. At the point when the Spanish pilgrims arrived, Rio Abajo was intensely settled by Pueblo individuals uprooted by and large by Hispano cultivate settlements. After some time expansive homes, haciendas, pressed
Early earth was dominated with carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide are invisble gas that were poisonous. We think this is when life first took hold. Penny Boston and Diana Northern investigate how life can survived here. They went to a cave, Cueva day Pl lose which was filled with hydrogen sulfide. Life is thriving inside the cave. Single cell bacterias snot tights were here. Bacteria are common organism, grow adapt and reproduce. Many bacteria were found and they survive from the hydrogen sulfide. If they can find life here, then life can be formed in early earth.
The authors said there were signs of human activities in the caves and that there are more archaeological work that need to be done.
Hey Karina, I think Hanson’s point regarding someone from Oaxaca “jumping the line” was with respect to making policies that give illegal immigrants a legal status ahead of those that have gone through the proper channel of filing with the USCIS (United States Citizens & Immigration Service) and waiting (this process can sometimes take upwards of ten years). While asking them to exit the US, go to their home country and, follow the legitimate citizenship process like everybody else might seem harsh, his argument is that that’s the “moral” thing to do when the picture is looked at holistically.
A little, yet intriguing cave west in Knox County, TN is Cherokee Caverns. The Cherokee Caverns is located in 8524 Oak Ridge Highway Knoxville TN 37931 US. The cavern hold up events like music festival, Christmas, and the not so scary Halloween. Outside of the Cherokee Caverns sits a bizarre rock is a Stromatolite, a fossil of old blue-green growth, additionally called cyanobacteria. As the sticky green growth developed, they caught sand and other dregs and different layers would develop. The living beings developed entirely expansive over several years. After some time they got to be fossilized. Since cyanobacteria have the capacity to photosynthesize, researchers trust that these primitive green growth may have been in charge of putting the
If I were to choose one last place to eat, I would go to Mexico Viejo. Whenever there is a birthday in my family, we go out to eat at the birthday person’s place of choosing. I would always choose Mexico Viejo. Recently, I started working at Mexico Viejo and I really enjoy it. When I’m there, I feel as though I have a second home with the welcoming vibes.
One would think without even ever having heard of H.P. Lovecraft’s cryptozoologic tales of ancient, maleficent, inhuman and utterly incomprehensibly mad creatures awakening from beneath miles of strata under the south-east asian ocean floor, one would think that whatever could be found alive down there, even microbes, would have to be hellish, if not plainly weird. However, in sediments over 2 kilometers below the ocean floor, where pressure and heat are equally hellish, researchers have unearthed the very first samples of microbes. Surprisingly there’s nothing extraordinary about them. The cells discovered are not different in appearance than microbes living in more quotidian environs, like forest soil.
The breakthrough of fossilized nanobacteria on martian meteorites was the first real evidence supporting life beyond our planet, escalating the already controversial subject. It has allowed fantasies of aliens and U. F. O.’s to essentially become a reality. Although many continue to disagree with this statement and accuse findings to be irrelevant, further research on the composition Mars and its meteorites have provided justice to extraterrestrial life.
Because of the water pressure the high temperature was not as dangerous to the animal life as it would have been on the surface. Many of the hydrothermal vent animals consist of entire groupings of animals that only exist at the vents. The fauna is endemic at high taxonomic levels, including a class, an order, five super-families, eight families, and numerous genera. The distinctiveness shows a period of long evolution and many show origins from the Mesozoic or earlier. It has been determined that these creatures are living off of microbes that come from the interior of the earth. These microbes convert carbon dioxide, water, and nitrate into a usable organic food source in much the same way a plant uses photosynthesis to convert elements into its food source (Humphris 1995). The creatures acquire their oxygen source from iron oxides and sulfates, which consist of weakly bound oxygen and other elements (Gold 1999). Many scientists now believe that life could have developed around these vents where photosynthesis does not supply the energy source. On the bottom of the ocean the first organisms would have been protected from extreme radiation from the sun and space and would have survived any organism sterilizing events such as crashing meteorites.
Furthermore, the deep-sea vent hypothesis aims to explain the origin of life on Earth. (i fixed bc awk) Deep undersea vents are often hosts to rich microbial communities. In Hydrothermal vents and the origin of life, William Martin, John Baross, Deborah Kelley, and Michael J. Russel (2008, p.805) note, “the presence of H2 and CO2 near hydrothermal vent systems and surrounding prokaryotic autotrophs may hold clues for the chemistry of the origin of life.” The environment of hydrothermal vents are reminiscent of an early Earth with 360o Celsius sulphide chimneys, a mixture of reactive gases and dissolved elements, along with both thermal and chemical gradients (Martin et al., 2008, p.805). The reactive environments of deep-sea vents, along with
