Unit 2 M1 Assess the potential environmental impact of a proposed construction project on the local natural environment. Potential construction project for The City of Liverpool College - LAX Author: Matthew Ellis Introduction: I have been asked to put together a report for the potential construction project for The City Of Liverpool College. The current site being looked at is on Roscoe Street. I will be discussing the consequences which could occur to the buildings in proximity to the site location

CHAPTER 1 Problem and Its Setting Introduction Tagaytay City is located in the province of Cavite in the Philippines. This city is one of the most popular tourist destinations within the country and is only 55 kilometers away from Manila by road. Tagaytay City provides a spectacular view of the Taal Volcano. The city is also considered to be the second summer capital of the country‚ next to Baguio City‚ because of its cool climate due to its high altitude. Tagaytay City lies on

An illustration of dinosaurs fleeing a meteorite impact. Illustration by Mark Garlick‚ Science Source Ker Than for National Geographic News Published February 12‚ 2013 New insights about the asteroid thought to have killed off the dinosaurs suggest it may have just been the final blow‚ and that the reptiles were already suffering from a finicky climate prompted by volcanic eruptions long before the meteorite struck. "The [asteroid] impact was the coup de grace‚" Paul Renne‚ a geologist at

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 eventually they became extinct

The asteroid’s impact would of thrown enough dust into the atmosphere the sun’s rays would have been blocked darkening and chilling the Earth’s climate and chunks of meteorite that had also been thrown up into the atmosphere would have rained down as molten glass (SciShow).

likely caused the Earth’s Greatest Extinction Event” the author states that “About 60 meteorites five or more kilometers across have hit the earth in the past 600 million years. The smallest ones would have carved craters some 95 kilometers wide. “Most scientists agree that one such impact did in the dinosaurs‚ but evidence for large collisions coincident with other mass extinctions remained elusive until recently.”The increased attention brought about the discovery including extraterrestrial fullerenes

with craters‚ formed by many asteroids smashing into its surface. These crater differed greatly in size‚ making it easy to assume that the larger the asteroid‚ the larger the crater. While this is partially true‚ it is not the only factor that controls crater size. This experiment will be exploring the asteroids speed and how this effects a craters size. Aim This scientific experiment was conducted to find how the impact speed/energy of an asteroid affects the diameter/size of a crater. Method
