The mass extinction of dinosaurs is still a mystery today but their are many theories supporting how and why approximately 70% of all living species on earth suddenly became extinct including dinosaurs‚ 66 million years ago. The most common and realistic theory is the astroid impact theory when a astroid 6-15 km in diameter hit earth with the force of five billion atomic bombs. Another possible theory is climate change‚ the dinosaurs didn’t adapt fast enough to the climate when it was changing and

Even though other places have geothermal activity‚ Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 and covers the largest area‚ encompasses nearly 3‚500 square miles. The park has Old faithful geyser‚ Lake Yellowstone which is in the caldera of a dormant volcano‚ and the park also has bubbling mud pots‚ hot springs and hot colorful pools. More than half of the world’s geysers are

topic of hot debate over the past few years and continues to be a point of contention between landowners‚ governments‚ institutions‚ and private companies‚ even earning the attention of President Obama in his 2012 State of the Union speech. While geologists have known of the Marcellus Shale for years‚ early estimates of the amount of natural gas contained within it were fairly low. However‚ the use of the hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) drilling technique has dramatically increased the amount

a) Starting with 780ml of the sodium chloride solution‚ how much water needs to be added? (D1) b) Give your answer in standard form to an appropriate number of significant figures (M1) 5. You are a geologist assigned to estimate the density of the Earth. You know that density is given by: p = [pic]. You need to first find the volume (v) of the Earth‚ which can be found by the equation: V = [pic] л x R3. The radius of the Earth (R) can

In some arguments the evidence can support a reason or reasons that in turn support the conclusion. For instance: The geologist concluded that that we will enter another ice age within one hundred years. Her reasons are that ice ages have occurred in recent geologic history every ten thousand years and that we are just a few years shy of the beginning of such an interval

For example Leonardo da Vinci was considered a Renaissance man because he was a musician‚ architect‚ sculptor‚ painter‚ scientist‚ engineer‚ mathematician‚ geologist‚ inventor‚ cartographer‚ anatomist‚ botanist and writer. The Renaissance man is a value of the Renaissance because this encouraged more scholars to learn and study so they have something to earn. In 1503 one of the world’s most well known painters

The earth has not always looked the way it looks today. In other words‚ the United States one billion years ago was in a totally different location than it is today!! How does this happen? And why does this happen? Let’s take a look. In order for us to get some understanding of how the earth has changed over time‚ we first need to understand some of the things that took place‚ and are still taking place‚ in the earth. What about the internal structure of the Earth? Our best clues about the interior
