The Planet of Mars isbeing 142 million miles away from the sun and only forty-nine million miles away from earth. The average temperature for Earth is fifty-seven degrees fahrenheit. The average temperature for Mars is negative eighty-one degrees fahrenheit. You would think there would be no way of having life on Mars (University Today). The cool thing is scientists think Mars would be the first planet to colonize and be able to live on. Almost everyone thinks that earth has full twenty-four hour

Formation of the Philippine Islands The Indo-Australian plate is found south of the Eurasian and the Philippine Seaplates. It is generally oceanic‚ being submerged by Indian and Pacific Oceans‚ but it holds two gigantic land masses – the island continent of Australia and Indian subcontinent. Recent researches‚ however‚ show that these two land masses are moving independently of each other‚ thus‚ may actually be parts of separate plates. The Philippine Sea plate is found east of the Eurasian

amygdular layers‚ flow- top breccias‚ and faults in the basalts and overlying carbonates containing deposits formed in the Proterozoic‚ Triassic‚ Jurassic or Tertiary ages along a continental rift zone near a marine interface of a former equatorial position. These deposits include native copper and some silver in the flows and Cu2S minerals along the fractures. Copper distribution was regulated by the host rock permeability and fracturing of basalt flows and sedimentary beds. Some copper nuggets are

examinations to monitor its impact to surrounding communities and environment. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. These volcanoes are usually composed of basalt‚ which enables them to possess a gentle slope‚ fluid and pahoehoe lava. The fluidity nature allows the volcano to not be deadly (“Geologic Hazards”‚ n.d.). The volcano consists of tholeiitic basalt (“Mauna Loa Volcano”‚ n.d.). Some of oldest rocks in the structure are from 100‚000 to 200‚000 years ago (“Mauna Loa Earth’s”‚ n.d.). It is currently
