If an eruption were to occur, a number of life-changing things would happen. Lava flow would burn everything in its path. Ash falls will cause suffocation; killing many. Along with the death of a good amount of people, the ash would block the sun causing us to experience massive climate changes, but not just for us; The whole world would experience it as well. Science is showing that the potential for an eruption of some of the earth’s biggest and deadliest volcanoes is very real and imminent.
Life Cycle of a Star Pamela Hughes May 17, 2011 SCI/151 Norman Stradleigh Life Cycle of a Star On a clear dark night, one can see thousands of stars. We can see many stars but could never dream of being able to count them all. Even though each individual star is unique, all stars share much in common. The Sun, which is the source of virtually all light, heat, and energy reaching the Earth, is the nearest star. Today, we know that stars are born from interstellar gas clouds, shine by nuclear fusion and then die, sometimes in dramatic ways.
Introduction: A sphere that is of gas and held together by its own gravitational force is known as its most common name, star. Stars are always continually trying to collapse by the force of gravity, this is contracted by the pressure of hot gas/ or radiation in the stars interior. This is called Hydrostatic support. Another thing about stars would be they sometimes come in groups known as clusters. (Dr. Barbara Mattson, 28-Dec-2010) A star cluster or star clouds are groups of stars.
Proofs of the creation theory, such as the flood, and other general information, such as Grand Canyon back up the existence of dinosaurs, and those proofs are mostly precise. The first evolution theory that most of people believe is the volcanoes’ eruption. According to the Korean Internet News, “About the end of the period of when dinosaurs were existed, a lot of main volcanoes erupted because of the moving of the earth’s crust.” (“Dinosaurs) As the volcanoes erupted, the dust from the volcanoes made a huge dust cloud, (Weems) and it block the sun’s light and heat. Because of that, the earth’s temperature suddenly went down, and the planktons and some land animal’s organism could not photosynthesis, and died a lot. (When) Those organisms are at the bottom of the food chain, so automatically, the food chain will break out.
Phobos will eventually crash into Mars or break up and form a ring around the planet. Deimos (which means fear) was named after the Greek God Deimos who was the twin brother of Phobos. Deimos is the outer moon so it is further away from Mars and takes about 30 hours to orbit. It is small and lumpy and has lots of craters and is covered in dust and loose rocks. Although it has many craters it’s surface is much smoother than Phobos’ Deimos has an average radius of 6.2
Like the other volcanoes found in the Cascade Range, Mt St Helens (MSH) had been dormant for many years. In March 1980 there were signs of an impending eruption, as several earthquakes occurred. However on the 18th March 1980, an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter Scale rocked the volcano. Within a few seconds of the earthquake, the volcano erupted and the whole northern side of the volcano collapsed causing the largest known landslide in US history. This pulverised rock, glacier ice and ash wiped out all living
The total blast had a VEI of 6, which is equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT. The shock waves travelled around the world seven times, and the force of the blast was some 10,000 times greater than that of the hydrogen bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The volcano left 36,000 people dead and the survivors battled to cope with tsunamis, further eruptions and superheated ash clouds. As the volcano erupted, a plume of ash swept 80km into the sky, the hot gas became unstable and raced across nearby islands at 150km (Australia n.p). "Those who weren't killed by the intense heat," says Dr. Dave Rothery, from the Department of Earth Sciences at the Open University, "would have been sandblasted to death.
The Effects the Moon has on Earth As the moon dances along its orbit in uniform motion with the earth, we see it going from a new moon to full moon and back. We normally think that the moon has no effect on us whatsoever, but in reality, we wouldn’t be where we are now without the moon. The effects the moon has on the earth are ocean tides, the length of our day, months, and animal behavior. The moon tries to pull the earth closer with its gravity. But with the earth being three times more massive than the moon, it is able to stay in place.
The Geology of the Moon Approximately 4.5 billion years ago a large asteroid struck Earth and thus resulted in the Moon. This impact theory suggests that the collision ejected raw materials which in time became the Moon. With the Moon having no significant atmosphere, it can reserve a good record of the impact history. This information can provide geologists with clues to the history of the Earth. The crust of the Moon is composed of a variation of primary elements, including uranium, oxygen, thorium, potassium, silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, calcium, aluminum and hydrogen.
The pressure of overlying rocks increase the density of the rocks below, the pressure in the mantle is 3.5 million times greater than the surface pressure. Cavities of empty space are highly impossible inside an unimaginably dense mantle. The geomagnetic field, constantly created by convection of molten iron in the outer core and the effect from planetary rotation, protects Earth from solar wind along with other harmful radiations and particles. It would make sense to have the field deteriorates quickly when the iron flows completely stopped. According to the movie, the field would disappear in a year.
