Why are stars and planets round?  (Beginner)
Why are stars and planets spherical? Why aren't they cubes or ovals? The shape of small objects (like people and houses and mountains and small asteroids) are determined by their mechanical properties. You can take a rock and cut it into a particular shape and it will pretty much stay that way.


A geophysical planet definition
A âdwarf planetâ is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape [2], (c) has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite.

Why are planets round?
Planets are round because their gravitational field acts as though it originates from the center of the body and pulls everything toward it. With its large body and internal heating from radioactive elements, a planet behaves like a fluid, and over long periods of time succumbs to the gravitational pull from its center of gravity. The only way to get all the mass as close to planet's center of gravity as possible is to form a sphere. The technical name for this process is isostatic adjustment. With much smaller bodies, such as the 20-kilometer asteroids we have seen in recent spacecraft images, the gravitational pull is too weak to overcome the asteroid's mechanical strength.

Click on the image for a larger picture. A seeker of Early Triassic cephalopodic ammonoids hikes up the fossiliferous limestone slopes at one of two classic Early Triassic ammonoid localities discussed at this Web page.


Geology Anthology
The oldest fossils are at the bottom and youngest at the top. The size of each time interval is proportional to its duration. We study our Earth for many reasons: to find water to drink or oil to run our cars or coal to heat our homes, to know where to expect earthquakes or landslides or floods, and to try to understand our natural surroundings.

Early Triassic Ammonoid Fossils In Nevada: Visit the two remote localities in Nevada that yield abundant, well-preserved ammonoids in the Lower Triassic Thaynes Formation, some 248 million years old--one of the sites just happens to be the single finest Early Triassic ammonoid locality in North America.


The Fossil Record
The fossil record is instead primarily a record of the destruction and death caused by the Genesis Flood. Extensive fossil graveyards and coal deposits are more consistent with a global catastrophe than with slow and steady processes over millions of years. Everybody knows fossils are fickle; bones will sing any song you want to hear. âJ. Shreeve, âArgument over a Woman,â Discover 11 no. 8 (1990): 58.

Using fossils and other natural evidence, scientists have formed a theory about why the dinosaurs disappeared. They now think that some major event, such as the crashing of one or more giant asteroids into Earth, led to rapid changes that caused the dinosaurs to become extinct. Fossils also tell us about organisms, such as dinosaurs, that are now extinct. Even though no one has ever seen a dinosaur, people have some idea about what dinosaurs looked like and how they behaved because of fossils.

Mucrospirifer The Winged Brachiopods
Mucrospirifer The Winged Brachiopods Mucrospirifer are a genus of brachiopods with a long straight hinge line that extends to a point. This gives them a distinctive wing like appearance. The valves are biconvex and have a pronounced fold and sulcus. Mucrospirifers used a pedicle to anchor themselves to the sea floor.


Why are meekoceras considered the youngest fossil?
Where are the youngest fossils found? The youngest fossils are always in sedimentary rocks. This is because both igneous and metamorphic rocks have been affected by heat and pressure.

This Law of Superposition is fundamental to the interpretation of Earth history, because at any one location it indicates the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils in them. Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air.

Earlier this year, a man near Tampa died when a sinkhole opened up underneath his bedroom.

Sinkholes are common in Florida because the bedrock underlying most of the state is either limestone or dolostone, which is naturally soluble and is easily dissolved by rainwater and groundwater. But sinkholes are also common in other areas of the United States and all over the world.


Why Do Sinkholes Form in Florida?
The sinkhole that swallowed a man sleeping in his Seffner home has spawned concern over why these natural occurrences take place. Here's a few reasons provided by the Florida Department of Environmental Protectionâs Florida Geological Survey. Facts about sinkholes in Florida:


Settling in Sinkhole Alley: 'If you live in Florida they're just a fact of life'
Sinkholes have been around for millions and millions of years. If you live in Florida they're just a fact of life.. Perched atop thousands of feet of porous limestone, Florida is particularly susceptible to karst landscape features such as sinkholes and underground caverns and springs, Kromhout said.


What are sinkholes and what causes them?
There was also a man who emptied his swimming pool out on to his garden, and was soon confronted with a large sinkhole under his house, Cooper says.

Why do they call them potholes?
Cylindrical cuts into river rock are also called potholes, sometimes kettle holes, and are due to erosion of the rock over eons of time. To fishermen, it can be a good area for angling. Where geology and time have dried up those beds, chasms remain.


Why are our roads full of potholes?
While utility companies have an obligation to repair what they dig up to a certain standard, this has an impact on the roads. Even if the work isn't shoddy â which it sometimes is â breaking up and then repairing the road surface makes it more susceptible to potholes.


Why are our roads full of potholes?
Potholes are caused when water penetrates tiny cracks in the road â cracks that are usually caused by traffic. When this water freezes, it expands, widening the cracks. When it melts, traffic thumps down on the space vacated by the ice and smashes new craters into the road surface.

potholes each year. â¢ In 2012, Columbus, OH. spent $175,578 for the hot and cold mix asphalt patch material to patch 130,397 potholes. What causes a pothole? Potholes are created when the top layer of pavement and the material beneathâcalled the base or sub-baseâcannot support the weight of the traffic. Two factors are always present in such a failure: TRAFFIC and WATER. The âgestation periodâ for a pothole includes:


What Causes Potholes?
Horses are not nearly large enough or heavy enough to cause potholes. Anyone who has thought about potholes, done a little research or examined the size of a pothole would know that potholes are not caused by horses. Instead, they caused by the expansion of water as it freezes in between cracks in the road.

Bowman's Capsule
Bowman's Capsule. The Bowman's capsule is an expansion at the closed end of a renal tubule. A kidney's renal corpuscle is composed of tangled clusters of blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a thin-walled, saclike structure called the Bowman's capsule, which surrounds the glomerulus.


The Nephron: The Glomerulus's Major Structures and Functions
This part is a network of capillaries responsible for the filtration of blood that is called a glomerulus. The Bowman's Capsule Each glomerulus is surrounded by a single layer of epithelium called the Bowman's capsule.

Which walls are thinner arterioles or capillaries?
Why are the walls of the capillaries thinner than the walls of the veins and arteries? Unlike arteries and veins, capillary walls are thin enough that oxygen and nutrients in your blood can pass through the walls to the parts of your body that need them to work â¦ normally.


Kidney Function
Blood flows into the kidneys through the renal artery and enters the glomerulus in Bowman's capsule. In the glomerulus, the blood flow is split into fifty capillaries that have very thin walls. The solutes in the blood are easily filtered through these walls due to the pressure gradient that exists between the blood in the capillaries and the fluid in the Bowman's capsule. The pressure gradient is controlled by the contraction or dilation of the arterioles.
