Battle of the Crater

Introduction The Battle of the Crater was supposed to be an unexpected attempt by Union forces to break through the Confederate defenses south of a critical hub near Petersburg, Virginia. The battle took place on the morning of July 30 1864, and consisted of 16,500 IX Corps Union soldiers and approximately 9,500 Confederate soldiers.1 Ambrose E. Burnside lead the IX Corps soldiers but overall command of the Union soldiers known as Grant’s Army of the Potomac was by General

Cold Mountain is an award-winning film adapted from Charles Frazier’s novel of the same title that is set during the Civil War. The main character, W. P. Inman, is a confederate soldier who deserts the army after being critically injured. He embarks on a journey to return to his home and to his love, Ada Monroe, on Cold Mountain in North Carolina. Inman must also avoid the Confederate Home Guard, a militia who hunt down and kill deserters, along the way. He longs to return home to regain part of

“Crater Lake is such a dazzling sight that it’s easy to forget its origins” (Howells, 2011). Crater Lake National Park is located in southwest Oregon. Crater Lake National Park lies in Klamath County which is also northeast of a city named Medford. Crater Lake National Park is three hours and 43 minutes away from Salem, the capital city of Oregon. Its actual lake is located in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Crater Lake National Park is 2,718 miles from Benton, AR and would take one day and

The assault on Vimy Ridge, the northern part of the wider battle of Arras, began at 5:30 am on Monday, April 9, 1917, It was the first occasion on which all four divisions of the Canadian Corps attacked as a composite formation. Canadian troops were moved from there quiet sector to a allied line in front of the city of ypres, this was where british troops and allied forces pushed into the german line in a concave bend and this was the first time the chemical gas was used as a weapon and the number

ending of the siege. On July 30TH 1864 at 0444 hrs the mine was exploded. The explosion threw bodies and cannons of the Confederate Army in to the air. When the debris, bodies and cannons landed there were cannons buried up to the breach. The crater created by

surface of Mercury is covered by impact craters. Although, only 55% of the Mercury has been mapped in enough detail to see its geology. Some of the largest craters were filled with lava from Mercury’s interior. Craters on Mercury can be small bowl-shaped pockets, or huge impact craters. The largest crater on Mercury is the Caloris Basin. There have been about 15 large impact basins that have been identified on Mercury. Just like the Moon, the larger craters have bright rays of material; it’s brighter

geologically inactive for billions of years. Craters range in diameter from bowl-shaped cavities to multi-ringed impact basins hundreds of kilometers across. One of the largest crater is the Caloris Basin, with the diameter of 1,550 km. The impact was so powerful that it caused lava eruptions and a concentrated ring over 2 km tall surrounding the basin to form. There are two distinct regions of plains on Mercury. These plains occur between the crater impacts and they bear a strong resemblence to

This movie takes place during the American Civil War between the years 1861 through 1865. Cold Mountain is set in North Carolina and although major battles didn’t take place here, the state still played a significant role during the Civil War. North Carolina contributed 113, 905 men to the Confederate side including Inman, who is the main character in this saga. The amount of soldiers who came from North Carolina contributed the largest amount of men than any other state (John Locke Foundation).

Mercury The surface of Mercury is littered with craters. These craters are believed to have been created by collisions from debris. Mercurys' craters range from small circular craters to multi-ridged impact basin. These basin are formed either when there was a large collision followed by a few small collisions or from many smaller collisions. The largest known crater on Mercury is called the Caloris Basin. This crater has a diameter of approximately 1500 kilometres across and surprisingly resides

impact craters and lava plains. It’s believed that the surface of Mercury is geologically inactive; although, only 55% of the surface has been mapped in enough detail to see its geology. Some of the largest craters in this period were filled with lava from Mercury’s interior. It’s believed that vulcanism on Mercury ended during its first 700 800 million years. Craters on Mercury can be small bowl-shaped pockets, or huge impact craters hundreds of kilometers across. The largest crater on Mercury
