Chicxulub Impact report- By Sophia Davis The Chicxulub asteroid hit earth over 65 million years ago‚ killing the vast majority of life.(1) This dramatic event had a great effect on Earth and its inhabitants. The impact included three main stages: the change of pathway which lead the asteroid towards earth‚ the fall of the asteroid and the effects caused. First stage The first stage of the Chicxulub impact was the change in space which lead the asteroid on its path to Earth. In order to get a better

It occupies 183‚224 acres as a national park the lake itself covers a 21 square mile area and is 594 meters deep. It has wide marine flora and fauna diversity. Around the lake unusual plant species are also found such as botrychium pumicola‚ mosses‚ western anemones‚ dozen types of cone bearing species of trees‚ shrubs like mountain ash and

Investigation into relationship between height of fall of an object and the radius of the crater formed in sand as a result of the impact. By Ivan Cocklove Design Defining the problem and selecting the variables: I will investigate how the height from which a mass falls onto flat surface of sand affects the radius of the crater formed as a result of the impact. The height from which the ball is dropped is affecting the speed at the impact because the higher the drop‚ the longer the ball will

Assessment Part 1: Impact Craters An impact crater (impact basin or sometimes crater) is a circular depression on a surface‚ usually referring to a planet‚ moon‚ asteroid‚ or other celestial body‚ caused by a collision of a smaller body (meteorite) with the surface. In the center of craters on Earth a crater lake often accumulates‚ and a central island or peak (caused by rebounding crustal rock after the impact) is usually a prominent feature in the lake. Ancient craters whose relief has disappeared

Aim To determine whether the height at which a marble is dropped affect the size of the crater. Scientific knowledge Impact craters are geologic structures formed when a large meteorite‚ asteroid or comet smashes in to a planet or a satellite. Meteorites are small rocks in space that hit the earth’s atmosphere at a high velocity. Throughout their history they have heavily bombarded all the inner bodies in our solar system. In this experiment we will use marbles as our meteorites‚ these will be

Everyone at some point of their lives will experience a Chicxulub. Something that will change your entire life for the better or the worse. It’s what you choose to do with that change that will build your character. Take Maureen and Ted for example. Late‚ one rainy night‚ they get their Chicxulub. A call that delivered the heart-wrenching news of their daughter‚ Maddy’s accident. Imagine‚ you are in the street playing basketball with the neighbor kids. You are winning by 3 points; You get into

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

Adler Planetarium. This paper would discuss about the hand on experience that was obtained when I toured the Adler Planetarium located in Chicago and witnessed the exhibits and the show about the “Cosmic Collision”‚ which was a breathtaking tour around the space. The tour to the planetarium was really a wonderful experience in adding more value and flavor to the wide range of knowledge gained in the class‚ and it did really help me in grasping the real world experience. The show “Cosmic

(2) An impact crater is a hole excavated out of a surface usually circular (e.g. a planet‚ moon‚ asteroid‚ or comet) when a smaller mass moving at very high speed collides with it. Impact craters typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surroundings. Meteor crater is perhaps the best-known example of a small impact crater on the Earth. (3) The Barringer crater is over a kilometre in diameter and 750ft in depth.(4) The size and shape of the crater depends on factors

GUIDE TO SCIENCE WRITING: RESEARCH MANUSCRIPTS AND REVIEW ARTICLES The Scientific Manuscript This is a basic overview of a scientific manuscript. In the sections to follow‚ we will break down each section in detail. Structure of a Research Article The structure of a research article usually depends on the journal to which the article is being submitted. Many journals have page limits‚ figure limits‚ or specific article divisions to which authors must adhere. These are the basic structure
