Meteorite

This essay is a compilation of numerous hypothesis’ of how life on Earth began. The six hypotheses’ are: Primordial Soup, Iron Sulfur, Deep Sea Vent, RNA World, Community Clay, Panspermia. Primordial Soup was suggested by two scientist Alexander Oparin and J.B.S. Iron Sulfur was proposed by Gunter Wachtershauser. Deep Sea Vent was proposed by scientists Nick Lane and Bill Martin. RNA World was brought forth by scientists Sidney Altman and Thomas Cech. Community Clay was discovered by a Greek Philosopher

Throughout the course of the earth, there have been many impressive geologic events that have taken place. Natural disasters ranging from volcanic eruptions, to massive earthquakes, to avalanches make their marks known after they strike. The natural disaster that I want to focus on specifically in this paper, however, is tsunami’s. Though Tsunami’s are arguably the most deadly natural disaster, they are also one of the most amazing geologic events to witness. Over the course of this paper, I will

man’s reign on earth he has tried to explain his origins. He has used various religions and myths of being created by some higher power and he has looked toward the stars and planets thinking that perhaps life came to earth by way of space ship or meteorite. Even in today’s world of high technology we have yet to answer that age-old

Conspiracy theories are everywhere. It seems that for every event in to have taken place in history, there is a group of individuals saying that it is a government conspiracy. There are conspiracy theories regarding the 9/11 attacks, presidential assassinations, Area 51, Jimmy Hoffa, the English crown and Elvis. The list is endless. In this paper we are going to discuss the moon landing conspiracy. Apparently there are people who believe the entire moon landing was a hoax. They believe that

Today we are going to talk about Pluto and its features. Pluto is a dwarf planet, it is very cold and its orbit takes longer to revolve around the sun than other planets. Pluto is not considered a planet now but it was before a meteorite knocked it out of orbit a long time ago. Pluto is much further from the sun than the other planets. Because it is so far out it takes longer to orbit the sun. It takes Pluto 248 years to orbit the sun. Pluto orbits at an average distance of 5.9 billion km from the

There are different kinds of dinosaurs around the earth. Dinosaurs are in museums and in the ground, there are probably more about dinosaurs to be discovered. For my research I will be finding things and information about the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex). The average Tyrannosaurus Rex lived from 20-30 years. The Tyrannosaurs Rex was up to 40 feet long, and 15 to 20 feet tall. The Tyrannosaurus Rex weighted about 7 tons. Some scientists think that they eat up to 500 pounds of meat. The skull was 5 feet

In this lab the researchers were testing how different massed “meteorites” dropped at the same distance affect the depth of an impact crater. The researchers predicted that if the mass of the object in the egg increases than the depth of the impact crater will also increase because gravity will pull down harder on the heavier object than it will the lighter object. The hypothesis was supported because the greater the mass of an object than the deeper the impact crater will be because the greater

The terrestrial planet Mars is a topic of conversation many scientists have been invested in for the past few centuries. There has been historical evidence found that astronomers had been drawing maps of Mars since 1860s, with a very good attempt for its time being drawn by German/Italian astronomer G.V Schiaparelli in 1877. One might begin to ponder why Mars has been such a large interest in the astronomy field. The red planet is a huge topic of debate because scientists believe there is a possibility

65 million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the planet. These fascinating animals were the largest, strongest creatures to ever walk the face of the earth, yet, they met a fate that would change the world forever. All that is left are the fossilized remains of these captivating creatures. Their fossils, along with the layers of our Earth’s rock and sediment, tell a story of how they lived and how they died. However, there is still an ongoing debate in the world of science of exactly what catastrophe

fairly sure that no intelligent life currently exists on mars, the possibility of past intelligent life is still unknown. A two year investigation of a meteorite found in Antarctica, and believed to be hail from Mars suggests that life did exist on Mars about 3.6 billion years ago. While discussing the analysis of this meteorite, Richard N. Zare of Stanford
