Moon Landing Faked or Real Was July 20th, 1969 at 10:56 p.m. eastern daylight time, the biggest hoax ever pulled? On that day the famous words "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” were uttered by the first man on the moon. Or were they? Most people believe that the United States and no one else has ever landed on the moon. While this may seem hard to believe, a surprising number of people believe that it was all a big hoax. The controversy over whether the United States went

And the right theory is Creation. So let's go into a little history by looking at Evolution first. According to scientists, they believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. They also believe that life,water,and oxygen got to Earth by meteorites. But the question is how did this happen ? Well let’s start with how they know how old the earth is. In 1897 Ernest rutherford came up with an idea that would change the world forever. The idea? Radioactive decay. Radioactive decay allows us to

The beach umbrella, the towels, the chairs, and then the cooler. In the backseat, I watched as my family finished packing the van with the assortment of items we had brought with us to the beach. The van was the family tank, a roaring piece of machinery that somehow seemed to make the passenger feel secure even with the alarming grumbling of the engine. The back of the van was filled and now, on this late summer day, we were taking our leave from the shore. I looked back once more at the sea where

Lunar Surface Processes Complex alterations of the lunar surface occur, despite the fact that lunar processes are much less varied and dynamic than those of the Earth. The most important source of lunar surface alteration, at least over the last three billion years, is evidenced by the Moon’s heavily pocked and cratered surface. The Moon is continuously bombarded by external objects ranging in size from small specks of dust to giant bodies tens of kilometers in diameter. These impacts are governed

Caroline Weisinger Mrs. O'Connor World History Honors: Block D 29 September 2014 The Demise of Life and Evolution Taking life for granted is an attribute that many do in today's world; however, when one looks at how precious life is, one realizes how fast it can all be taken away. Human's demise could all be caused from the magnitude and impact of a single meteor, similar to the asteroid that brought about the extinction of the dinosaurs. If this theory is in fact correct, would the ongoing

investigating the geological affects an asteroid would have on the earth and its creatures during the cretaceous and tertiary periods. Scientists collected data and compared the composition of the elements in earth’s crust to the structure of a meteorite (Alvarez et al. 1980). Researchers found samples of sedimentary rocks mountains located in northern Italy which represented compounds which existed nearly 185 to 30 million years ago. 1 (p. 1096) Analysis from sections of limestone was mapped and

just fallen from the sky because of how much iridium that was found there, it must have been a meteorite that struck earth. From different parts around the the world paleontologists had found this similar clay layer between the rocks and was found with traces of iridium. Iridium is rare on earth and since they knew how much iridium is in a meteor, they were able to determine that is was possible a meteorite had struck the earth. In 1980 the asteroid impact theory was put up front to determine and find

from space, at some point into the sea, between a town called Carilo and another called Villa Gesell. The meteorite caused a great light preceded by a loud noise, as an explosion, that caused a slight trembling that alarmed to people. Some people think that what fell from the sky could be part of an old satellite or a piece of space junk that fell out of orbit, and others that it was a meteorite, but the truth is that the experts haven't said absolutely anything about it

Chem Matters to Us: Diamonds Thesis: The extremely strong chemical structure of diamonds contributes to its unique chemical and physical properties, which allow diamonds to be used for a variety of practical applications. Topic Question: Research: Source: What is the chemical structure of diamond? carbon atom typically has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, as well as six electrons in surrounding orbitals The electron shell configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2. Carbon

Individual Week 1 Review Questions GLG/220 10/02/2013 Critical and Creative Thinking Questions Chapter 1 3. How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts, huge volcanic eruptions, or great earthquakes? The principle of uniformitarianism states the processes occurring on Earth today are very similar in manner as those throughout much of geologic times. In other words “the present is the key to the past.”(Murck
