Devastating impact

Over 250 million years ago, Earth was struck with an asteroid that wiped out 95% of all species. This devastating event was followed by another natural disaster when, 50 million years later, a volcanic eruption caused massive lava floods. The floods triggered the breakup of Pangea, the original continent. This volcanic eruption created extreme global warming and the extinction of 70% of marine life. These two examples are not the only times Earth has experienced mass extinction. An extinction may

LCROSS followed behind it and analyzed the plume from the Centaur portion, sending information back to Earth, until it also impacted with the Moon (Barone 2009). The impact plume stretched to ten miles above the rim of the crater (Braukus 2010). Four minutes after the impact, the LRO flew through the debris cloud ejected by the impacts. It collected the raw data of what the cloud plume was composed of and transferred the information back to LCROSS control where computers received the data and started

Nobody can really say what actually eliminated the species, although everyone has their very own idea. Asteroid impact, atmospheric changes (hot to cold), catastrophic eruptions and astronomical events (supernovas etc.). Some have ventured that early mammal inhabitation slowly “pushed” the dinosaurs to extinction. The most favored theory in the scientific field is that of the meteor impact. As always though, knowing when is part of discovering how and why. THE TIMING OF THINGS One problem

In June of 1908, a fireball descended towards Earth leaving a fiery white trail in its path. It landed in Siberia but it wasn’t like any other asteroid. This one appeared to have exploded in mid air causing Hiroshima like effects. There is no evidence that it hit Earth, but there is a crater shaped lake about five miles from where the suspected spot it landed. The fire ball left thousands of trees on fire, seemingly blowing over millions. This force killed local people as well as animals and there

the building is the largest stage that impacts environment during the life cycle, so require more attention in the field of energy saving of building. In the initial design stage of buildings, through LCA can help design decisions, such as the appropriate use of zero energy building techniques. To quantitatively assess the energy consumption and environmental impact among all above stages, LCA is undoubtedly the best choice that can full evaluate the impacts during extraction of raw materials, material

In the first scene of Eastwood’s Sudden Impact, the audience is presented with a scene in which a car is surrounded by thick, dark fog, making the background difficult to make out. If not for the diegetic sound of the crashing waves a few hundred feet below the edge of the near by precipice, the audience would have a lack of sense of location. Already, the scene has an ominous feel to it thanks to the darkness of the scene and the remoteness of the location where nobody is there to witness what is

enough modern day research, scientists have nailed the extinction of the Dinosaurs down to two major theories; the asteroid impact theory, and the volcanic eruption theory, both being extremely alike. As research has been undertaken, scientists have evaluated all possible theories, distinguishing that there are two major possibilities; the volcano theory and the asteroid impact theory. Both theories are highly comparable, yet both have distinguishing qualities that indicate their differences. The

The extinction of dinosaurs could have been caused by many different things. One main reason that is thought around the world is that dinosaurs went extinct because an asteroid fell onto earth at speeds that are too fast for the human mind to even imagine. This idea was thought when and asteroid crater was found near mexico. Also to support the facts many scientist found traces of rare metal onto the earth's surface. This metal is not very common here but is really common in outer space. Today we

personifications of fate. The Fates have the foresight and can see into every man’s fate, so they are pretty much a big deal if you believe in that sort of stuff. Maybe this also doesn’t catch your eye whiles you read, Marlow may have had a mentally lasting impact from it based from his initial reaction. Another woman you most definitely could not ignore was Kurtz’s African Mistress. She caught the eye of Marlow based off of the vivid description given. He mentions that She walked with measured steps, draped
