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

ius 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 have to accelerate‚ therefore the higher the velocity at the impact will be. 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 free falling objects that will be used to copy an asteroid impact. The surfaces

The show was mainly focused on the catastrophic impacts that created our Moon‚ power our Sun and the impact that ended the giant animal dinosaurs’ life on the earth. The visual and the sound effects was remarkable in providing a real time experience on the explosive collisions and witnessing the birth of our Moon. The movie first

Archaeological Research (CGAR) of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to propose of the possibility of Bukit Bunuh as a meteorite impact site. This proposal was led to intense research in the area by utilizing geophysical methods for meteorite impact crater mapping. During preliminary remote sensing study in 2004‚ significant geological features resembling the meteorite impact crater ring was mapped via aerial photograph (Nawawi et al.‚ 2004). The impacted

When read top to bottom‚ Mina Loy’s poem "Lunar Baedeker" may sound like a story of drugs‚ sex‚ and desperation. In reality‚ it is an encrypted biography of part of Loy’s life‚ as well as symbolic of the cycles of life. Let’s start with the title‚ shall we? "Lunar Baedeker‚" the word ’lunar’ means moon. It can also mean relating to the moon‚ but more importantly it can mean measured by the moon’s cycles. What in the world is a "Baedeker" though? Baedeker is actually one Karl Baedeker‚ a German who

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

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
