  1. Hence I began to slowly cut through the bars that restrained me, finally cutting through I broke free. Running around the prison grounds I looked for an exit...
  2. Hey, QUESTION: I was wondering which are harder to detect and why, comets or asteroids? I heard that asteroids were harder because they can't be seen in the 'blindspot' (the space in betwen the sun and the earth), but I also heard comets were harder... Can anyone give me some help?...At least to back up the comet-claim? Thanks man
  3. Well as for the formation of rock and land... Well, in the beginning after we got our seas, they were rich with iron , thus having a green look to them. Our seas were green while our skies were thick and reddish from carbon dioxide and methane...and some other gas I can't quite remember... Well the question in which where our rock/land comes from, also ties in how we got our breathable oxygen. And this answer lies within the Earth's stramatolites, a kind of living rock-like structure that dominated about 3.5 billion years ago usually found underwater. Harboring blue-green algae, these stramatolites coverted carbon dioxide into oxygen. But even though it pumped out a lot of oxygen successfully, the iron-filled seas absorbed it all up before the oxygen really even got into our atmosphere. This microbial action had our oxygen bubbling through the water, with iron oxidation taking place, it percipitated out rust. Lots of rust. So much d@mn rust it fell to the bottom of the seas(due to gravity), piling up as land. We can easily see these layers of iron in our old 'banded rock formations' all around the world. And bam, we got land.
  4. I am not sure about your questions, because I am not sure if I am addressing what you mean by "what is water constructed from"...But this is how water got here. Note this is a recent theory, I found it on the National Geographic Channel, but I have'nt found many other resources that back it up: Water, to simply put it came from outer space ....I sh!t you not. Basically when the earth was in formation from its 'Big Bang,' it was too hot to carry any water. Due to it just being formed and from it being pulverized by asteroids , it was simply a ball of rotating hot / molten rock...any water would have been vaporized. Also, Earth is one of the 'inner planets' (not to quote Sailor Moon), the 'inner planets,' in that it is in between the asteriod belt and the Sun. The inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, and right outside is the asteroid belt and its partner, Jupiter. The inner planets were generally too hot to salvage its own water, but outside the belt it laid frozen. So basically the asteroids in the belt held frozen water, frozen for billions of years, and with Jupiter's huge size, they (at times) would be knocked out of orbit and sent straight to Earth. Over many many years, we eventually got hit with so much frozen water, we got our seas. Again, this is a theory recently proven...even I find it a bit skeptical But my source does explain that: In January 18, 2000, asteriods lit up Canada's sky as they were then pelted into frozen water, they were then dug up and sent to a NASA lab. We found out that some of these rocks were made up of 20% of water. And if the earth was constanly pounded by thse asteroids, that in the course of less then 150 million years, we got our seas ...Go figure
  5. You're right But the methane gas does not so much as make the planes go loopy, so much as screw with their dials. If I remember correctly, I think the methane (because it is lighter than air) screws with the dials and makes the pilot read it as they are going up, so as their reaction, they simply point the nose of the plane downward....Then it's just a matter of gravity and luck from there on out. As for ships, same thing...they've run modeled-tests and have successfully flipped over model-ships with giant gas bubbles. And as for finding them, well, that's like asking a blind man find purple...the navigation's too shot -on either end. The only reason why we ruled out methane reserves as our key to the bermuda triangle is because there are huge methane deposits all over the world (and yet, no bermuda trianlges all over the world). But hey, I really think they are going somwhere with this idea.
  6. QUESTION: I was wondering... We all know the harzardous potential of a Mega-Tsunami, http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2000/mega_tsunami.shtml the tsunami that carries a wave big enough to go 20km in land of the Eastern coast of America.... Well, I was wondering...since its displacement of water is so huge, is there a possibility that it can change or just temporarily disrupt our North Atlantic Current? The current that supposedly brings warm atmosphere up from the equator. I have a feeling it won't because tsunamis don't really affect our Earth's Coriolis effect (or do they?) but I am not sure. Please answer, thank you
