The Earth 's Major Water Source

The planet Mars is a red plant that is found in the Solar System in the Milky Way Galaxy one planets farther from the sun than Earth. The planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere full of primarily carbon dioxide. The surface of Mars is very dusty and rocky because of volcanoes. The geology of Mars is different from Earth in many ways including the amount of volcanoes, mountains, valleys, and internal makeup.

The quote above gives a quick biography on Mars. Mars is a dry, desert like planet that is between Earth and the Asteroid belt and Jupiter. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second closest to Earth (first being Venus). Mars is just over one half the size of Earth and has just over one third of Earth 's gravity, and the surface area on Mars is nearly the same as land area on Earth. It has a very weak magnetic field, so a lot of the Suns radiation gets to the surface. Its atmosphere is less than 1% as dense as Earth’s and 95% of it is carbon dioxide. 1 year on Mars is 687 days and has an average surface temperature of -62 degrees Celsius. But Mars does have its similarities, It travels only 4 miles per second slower around the sun, its tilt is 25 degrees, compared to Earth 's 23.5. 1 day on Mars is just 41 minutes longer than Earths, and Mars’ surface temperature range is the closest in the Solar System to Earth’s. http://www.universetoday.com/22603/mars-compared-to-earth/.

It is unfortunate that I have to make this announcement to our company today, August 5, 2010, but I want to reassure you all that I am doing everything I can and using every resource that is available to bring our miners home safely. We have begun digging to make contact with the miners, once we reach contact with them we will be providing them with all the supplies that they need to

The earth is like a living organism; it thrives full of life with a fragile balance. This balance has been thrown off by many different things. Water seems to be one of the biggest problems with this offset balance. Water is a magic liquid keeping all of life thriving. Humans drink and use water, plants use water, water is used in everyday life, and it’s slowly being taken away. In the future, there will be no water left to sustain life on earth.

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

Everyday, billions of people use water all over the world. They use water in drinks and food. They use water for bathing and hygiene. They use water in agriculture and industry. They use water for so many things. However, there are many problems with the usage of water around the world. In his editorial, “Our Water System: What a Waste”, Michael E. Webber explains how America has a water problem, and how that problem can be solved.

Much to common disbelief, Mars and Earth have many things in common. Some of these factors include similarities in size, inclination, structure, composition and the presence of water on their surfaces (Universe Today, 2016). Mars is the next closest planet to Earth. It withholds all necessary elements needed for life to exist. These include water, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrogen (HowStuffWorks, 2017). There are also unbelievable similarities between Mars’ atmosphere and the Earth’s atmosphere from billions of years ago. Like Mars, when the Earth was first formed it had no oxygen and its atmosphere was comprised of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Earth was not able to produce oxygen until photosynthetic bacteria developed (HowStuffWorks, 2017). Mars’ atmosphere consists of 95.3% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon and 0.2% oxygen.

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

You may be thinking this is all another alien inspired theory. After all, data from a bunch of hung-over grad students and researchers at the E.T. institute doesn’t sound too solid. However, they may be on to something. NASA recently confirmed that Mars might be recovering from an ice age that ended roughly 400,000 years ago. Data from the NASA Mars Orbiter suggests that the Red Planet poles were once covered in massive amounts of ice. And these ice caps have been thawing since. This makes the Martian planet quite similar to Earth. It also would support the recent research of marshland on the Red Planet as well.

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

Mars has a total of 43,000 craters. Mars is also close to the asteroid belt in which mars has a greater chance getting hit and causing a crater. There is also a volcano called Arisa Mons. Arisa Mons has various caves. The caves are known to be called “seven sisters.” The cave entrance measure 100 m to 252 m wide and are also believes to be 73 m to 96 m deep. Mars lost its magnetosphere 4 billion years ago. It is believed that mars lost its magnetosphere because of it various asteroids strikes. Also methane was detected in the Martian atmosphere. It is suggest the methane may last as long as 4 earth’s years and as short as 0.6 earth’s years. The curiosity rover landed in august of 2012. The curiosity rover was able to make measurements that distinguished between different isotopologues of methane. The most accurate information found on earth would have to be the 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Opportunity rover, and Curiosity rover. The curiosity rover was the first to find deep samples. When mars is close to the sun it looks yellow, orange, or red. Mars actual color is butterscotch and the redness is mostly because of the dust. The only other country to land a spacecraft on mars was the Soviet Union in 1971 and

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.

According to The United Nations committee on Economic, Cultural and social rights, “Water is fundamental for life and health. The human right to water is indispensable for leading a healthy life in human dignity. It is a pre-requisite to the realization of all other human rights” (The United Nations Committee on Economic, 2002). Clean, pure water is highly valued in every culture worldwide. Water is essential to survival; the lack of pure water can lead to diseases, malnutrition and even death. This is why the water crisis in Southern Africa has become one of the largest and most deadly epidemics in today’s society. However, there are hundreds of locations worldwide without access to pure water and the United States media coverage has hidden many of the blemishes in the United States behind a veil. It is due to the lack of coverage of these issues in the United States that many U.S. citizens are oblivious to these issues. Do to this I intend to argue that the water crisis in North America is not portrayed enough in the social media by exploring how the media portrayed the ALS ice bucket challenge, how little people are aware of the lack of water in America and the horrible living conditions cause by the water crisis.

Mars is about half the diameter of Earth and, after Earth, its orbit is next furthest from the sun. Mars’ red appearance is due to dust blown over its surface by light winds. Like Mercury, it has little gravitational pull and a thin atmosphere without clouds, making it possible to observe its surface from Earth using telescopes. In fact, in 1877, one astronomer observed what appeared to be canals on the surface. This observation led to the widely held belief that there was life on Mars.

Increased unemployment and Government spending, higher prices on goods and services, smaller revenues, etc. are among negative consequences of drought in California. Moreover, as Howitt, R., Medellin-Azuara, J., MacEwan, D., Lund, J.&Sumner, D. (2014, pp.1-28) continued, if the drought will remain for two more years, groundwater reserves will be overused to replace surface water damages, and it will lead to decrease of pumping ability and increase in costs and losses due to depletion of groundwater. Failure to replenish groundwater will reduce availability to sustain agriculture during the drought, especially more profitable crops like grapes and almonds (Howitt, R., Medellin-Azuara, J., MacEwan, D., Lund, J. & Sumner, D., 2014, pp.1-28).
