Geologic activity is basically the internal and external processes and events that affect a planetary body. Geologic activity forms different things on planets specifically Earth. Water, ice, wind, weathering, erosion all are factors in geologic activity. One recent study that has found geologic activity on the moon was the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The LRO showed the Moon’s crust being stretched, forming valleys in some small areas on the lunar surface. Scientists believe that the moon is in a general state of contraction because of cooling of a still hot interior. The weak contraction suggests that the Moon, unlike the terrestrial planets, did not completely melt in the early stages of its evolution.
The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus (Links to an external site.), Earth (Links to an external site.) and Mars (Links to an external site.), are terrestrial planets (Links to an external site.), being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets (Links to an external site.), being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn (Links to an external site.), are gas giants (Links to an external site.), being composed mainly of hydrogen (Links to an external site.) and helium (Links to an external site.); the two outermost planets, Uranus (Links to an external site.) and Neptune (Links to an external site.), are ice giants (Links to an external site.), being composed mostly of substances
My family has many traditions one of them is to make tamales on Christmas Eve so they are ready for Christmas Day. My family stays up on Christmas Eve and we stay up all night till the clock hits 12:00, that is when we start opening presents. Later on we go to sleep/take a nap and wake up so we can do El Nacimiento de Dios. El Nacimiento de Dios is when our family gathers around the setting of where Jesus was born and "we see his birth". We usually do a posada which is huge dinner with many types of Mexican foods like tamales, posole, rice, beans, etc. Each year my grandma, grandma, uncle, aunt, and some cousins come for Christmas from Mexico and we have a family gathering where we meet our family members in which we have not seen for a long
Geology is the study of the Earth’s crust through the crust’s chemical composition and physical properties. The way that geologists are able to figure out the
Even though the inner and outer planets are very similar, they also have quite a few differences.Even though the inner and outer planets may have the same orbit plane and they both do not use their own light they are also different in size and their composition.
Although all nine planets are a huge part of the solar system there's a lot more to the solar system than the nine planets. According to scientist the Solar System started out as an enormous cloud of gas and dust. Scientist believe that the cloud of dust and gas began to collapse under the weight of its own gravity and it did. The matter that was kept within itself began moving in a giant circle and at the center of the spinning cloud a tiny star began to form. The star eventually grew larger and collected more dust and gas that collapsed into it. Farther from the center of the mass that was being formed there was many smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. The large cloud in the center eventually became the sun while the smaller clumps formed the planets, moons, comets and,
The rings made up of millions of ice crystals,some as big as house and others as small as specks of dust saturn is very light as it is made up of more hydrogen
The first, geo-processes is a volcano. Volcanoes happen when when the plates underneath the volcanoes move creating the the magma to push up until the pressure is too much and it erupts. Scientists have an idea that the volcano is going to erupt soon when earthquakes happen near the volcano. A volcano creates mountains and mountain ranges. The article The Hills Are Alive talks about the movement under the volcano. “While the volcano was inactive, the land on top of it was being pushed together by surrounding geology keeping the magma bubbles sealed”. That quote shows how the land was moving closer because of the plates underneath.
The Fall Of The Titans, also known as the Titanomachy was a huge turning point for Greek Mythology. This war had many other names such as The War Of The Titans, Titanomachy, and even Titan war. This is because the Titans were a powerful race that ruled before the Olympians. Although, this all changed after the war broke out. Many new Gods and Giants were born during the war. In fact, many of them would not be here without the war.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It is the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. Like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, Saturn is a "gas giant". Inside Saturn is probably a core of iron, nickel, silicon and oxygen compounds, surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, then a layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium and finally, an outer gaseous layer.[9] Saturn has 62 known moons orbiting the planet; 53 are officially named.[10] The largest moon is Titan, which is larger in volume than the planet Mercury.
With The Planets, Op. 32, composed 1914-1916, Gustav Holst incorporates a wide array of cultural and scientific references to create musical characters for each of the planets in our solar system. The scientific connection is immediately clear simply by looking at how Holst chose to order the movements. While he does not specifically place the planets in order of distance from the sun, they still follow a pattern that clearly references their positions in space. Mars, Venus, and Mercury open the suite, being numbers 3, 2, and 1 from the sun (neglecting to count Earth, which does not appear). Following this are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, being numbers 4, 5, 6, and 7 in order. While an awareness of their scientific positions is
Saturn The planets, stars, moons, comets, asteroids, and other material floating in space make up our Solar System. Currently, there is only one planet that can sustain life as we know it, Earth. Although, the other planets that help to create our solar system may not contain or support life, the planets are useful in expanding our knowledge about the other mysteries in our Solar System. Saturn, known mainly for the jaw-dropping rings that gently encompass the planet, is one of only five planets that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
There are many differences between the Terrestrial, Jovian, and Dwarf planets. The Terrestrial planets are the four inner planets that are closer to the sun which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets do not have a lot of atmosphere. They are little and dense. The Jovian planets are the opposite. They are big, have thick atmospheres, and are low density. There are three qualifications for something to be a planet. A Dwarf planet meets two of the qualifications. The first is that it orbits the sun. The second is that it a sufficient mass to make it spherical. The third is that it has cleared the area around its orbit. This last qualification is the one that Pluto falls short on, it has not cleared its orbit thus making it a Dwarf
One of these terrestrial planets, Mercury is the topic of the next section. Mercury, one of the smallest planets, has a surface similar to that of a moon because it is cratered with some smoother areas. However, it is distinct from the moon in that the plains are the same color as the cratered areas. Mercury
In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne executes an interesting literary technique. The brilliant author employs the use of settings that correlate with, or relate, to the major events and trends that are analyzed throughout the novel. Such correlation between the setting of a scene and its action allow for the reader, with a prior knowledge of Puritanic Society and a basic understanding of its values, to truly grasp the essence of the text. Hawthorne’s fuzzy use of such settings contributes to the overall context of the story being similar to that of the movements of a pendulum: Hawthorne may arouse both the reader and text with a “big bang,” but can also swiftly shift gears to a new setting and “drop low” in deep suspicion of the events
Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is the only planet that is larger. The gas giant is 72 thousand miles in diameter, almost ten times the size of Earth. In spite of its huge size, though, Saturn weighs very little. It is a very light gas planet. Saturn is the least dense planet in the solar system-- so light, in fact, that it would float in water. This planet is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium, like Jupiter, but it is much less dense. The combination of its light weight and fast rotation causes Saturn to spread out, or oblate, its center. Since Saturn is a gas planet, it does not have a solid surface. Spacecraft are unable to land on this type of surface. The clouds that are seen when looking at Saturn are just the top layer of a very deep layer that covers a center of liquid hydrogen. The clouds are blown by constant winds that reach speeds up to one thousand miles per hour at the equator of the planet (“Great Space Place”).
The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These four planets are the planets that are closest to the sun. Terrestrial means earthlike; therefore, these planets are all earthlike because they have a solid ground. The terrestrial planets are the middle school years. The knowledge learned here orbits the sun. If the knowledge learned at the sun is not retained, a student may have a
