Is life possible on Mars? Geologists study the surface of both Mars and Earth by using interplanetary comparative analysis to further their understanding of the two planets. C.S Lewis‚ has a mind and imagination of his own when it comes to life on Mars‚ or as he calls it‚ Malacandra; A world where life exists‚ a world where humans can inhabit and explore this fantasy created by Lewis. Now‚ can these fantastic and unreal situations illustrated by Lewis be realistically possible today? There

1.) Were the North American megafauna wiped out by early human colonizers? The Overkill hypothesis is of the Clovis crossing into a “virgin continent” (The America’s) and wiped out the megafauna due to overhunting. First developed by Paul Martin in the 1960’s‚ Clovis started to occupy North and South America 13‚500-12‚500 years ago; soon after early sites were established 17 genera of North and South American megafauna went extinct between 13‚250-12‚900 (other species such as ground sloths become

That’s a lot of geysers and volcanoes. Old Faithful one of Yellowstone’s most famous geysers‚ but not the largest‚ was once used as a laundromat. In the 1880’s members of the washburn-Langford expedition discovered that clothes placed inside the crater became totally clean once ejected from Old Faithful. At one time Old Faithful would erupt about every sixty minutes due to earthquake damage. Yellowstone experienced about one thousand to three thousand earthquakes annually. That’s a lot of

orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger ones regularly pass close to Earth and the moon. Many of the most recent impact craters on the moon and Earth were probably caused by collisions with asteroids. Many asteroids have irregular shapes. Because of this‚ planetary geologists first speculated that they might be fragments of a broken planet that once orbited between Mars and

That plan was to build a big wooden horse as a gift for the trojans‚ the trojans accepted it and brought it inside their village. The trojans didn’t know Odysseus and his men were inside the big wooden horse‚ Odysseus and his

interplay of air‚ water‚ ice and geology create and control the environment on Mars. By applying our knowledge of earth’s processes along with physical modeling‚ we can begin to also explain these processes that occur on Mars (Head 2007). Impact craters characterize the first-order topography and modify the Martian surface through vertical excavation and transportation of crustal material (Head 2007). Moreover‚ evidence of volcanism is abundant. Lava flows can form channels‚ valleys networks and

massive volcano’s explosion was so powerful‚ that it collapsed in upon itself. This was known as the Lava Creek eruption and formed what we now know today as the Yellowstone Caldera and or as the Yellowstone super volcano. “The caldera is a volcanic crater some 40-by 25-miles large left behind when 240 cubic miles of debris ruptured out of the earth and into the air during volcanic discharge

The moon has stumped many people on where It was originated from. How did the moon get its shape? Why does the moon have craters? Many theories were made with evidence to prove that the moon was made in different ways‚ however‚ the most accurately proven theory is that the moon was formed when a mars-like object hit Earth and erupted into little pieces. The little pieces were floating around the Earth and then formed together to create the moon‚ we were orbiting around our solar system. A theory that

there are remains of significant amount of ice water on Mars‚ and they even saw fascinating evidence of runoffs of water from cliff sides on Mars. “The six-wheeled‚ nuclear-powered rover landed five weeks ago inside a giant impact basin called Gale Crater‚ near the Martian equator‚ to conduct NASA ’s first astrobiology mission since the nineteen seventies-era Viking probes”(Chang). “Scientist found evidence in Curiosity that lead to be said that sand was shake-and-baked inside the car-size rover ’s
