GEO 101 CSU Water on Mars Light from The Stars Essay
Water on Mars Light from the Stars
Introduction
Welcome to the final lab activity of GEO 101C! In the first part of this week's lab, we will leave Earth behind and venture to our neighboring planet of Mars. Using Google Mars, we will explore the terrain of the Red Planet, looking at evidence of past water flow across its surface. In the second part of the lab, you will build a spectrometer, a device for observing the spectra of different light sources. Spectrometers enable astronomers to determine the composition of distant stars, as well as how far away they are from us. Before beginning this lab, take a few minutes to review the list of materials required to complete Part 2, on page 6.
Your final product for this lab will be a lab report. It is not necessary to submit this worksheet. Your report should cover all of the questions you have answered here (in paragraph essay form, not question and answer format). It should discuss how these two tools - Google Mars and spectrometers - can be used to study distant places (planets and stars).
Part 1: Water on Mars
Begin by clicking here (Links to an external site.) to open the website containing the location files you will use this week. Under "Other Materials", click on "Placemarks - Mars Fluvial Features" to download the file to your computer. Once it is downloaded, open it, and it should open automatically in Google Earth Pro.
Once Mars appears, you'll have a different set of layers from Google Earth to explore. The Global Maps layer can be used to change the surface layer (you may have to expand this folder to see these options): use the radio button to choose the layer and click the blue layer name to bring up a brief description of that dataset. The "Visible Imagery" contains the highest quality images, but the Viking Color Imagery layer is more uniform and may be easier to use in some places. The Daytime Infrared, Nighttime Infrared, and Colorized Terrain are interesting to explore but will not be used here.
Locate the volcano Apollinaris Mons (also called Apollinaris Patera). The placemark is located on one side of the caldera: zoom out so you can see the flanks of the volcano as well.
Describe the linear features that surround Apollinaris: if these were stream channels, what type of drainage would this be? To answer that question, click here (Links to an external site.) to view a number of different drainage patterns; which one fits the features around Apollinaris the best? Include a simple sketch of the drainage below; take a digital photograph of your sketch to include in your lab report.
Consider the material that makes up Apollinaris: what does the presence of these linear channels suggest about the strength (ability to resist erosion) of the underlying material? Suggest an appropriate composition for this material as part of your answer (note the brief description given of Apollinaris in the instructions above.)
Locate the feature Warrego Valles. This question is best answered using a "eye alt" of about 200 km/120 miles - set your zoom level so the eye alt value in the lower right corner of the window is about 200 km or 120 miles.
In the space below, sketch the general shape of Warrego Valles. Take a digital photograph of your sketch to include in your lab report. What type of drainage does this appear to be - and what implications does this have for how Warrego Valles might have formed? Again, use this resource (Links to an external site.) to help identify the type of drainage pattern present.
Locate the crater Orson Welles and examine the valley that starts at the crater's NE rim (Shalbatana Valles). Briefly describe the valley below. Include a simple sketch of the valley; take a digital photograph of your sketch to include in your lab report. Identify any evidence of erosion/deposition in the valley floor and suggest a process by which this valley may have formed.
Locate Noctis Labyrinthus (this feature is on the western edge of Vallis Marineris, the "Grand Canyon of Mars").
Assume that water has flowed through this area: what type of drainage pattern is present here? Include a simple sketch of the drainage; take a digital photograph of your sketch to include in your lab report. Again, use this resource (Links to an external site.) to help identify the type of drainage pattern present.
What does this type of drainage pattern suggest about the underlying bedrock?
Locate the "Feature in Eberswalde", and zoom to an "eye alt" of 11 miles / 18 km with the placemark in the center of the window.
Sketch the feature below and suggest how it may have formed (this is very much a mystery, with no right answer). Take a digital photograph of your sketch to include in your lab report.
Part 2: Light from the Stars (Building a Spectrometer)
The instructions below describe how to build a spectrometer. Here is a link if you wish to view the site where the instructions are from: Lab, Camera, Action: Make your own CD spectrometer (Links to an external site.).
Materials needed:
A CD or DVD that can be sacrificed to this project. Old software CDROMs work great.
A cereal box. Any size that can hold a CD or DVD disk will do.
A sharp knife or razor blade to cut into the cereal box.
Our spectroscope has three main parts. There is a slit made from a razor blade to make a path for the light, a diffraction grating made from a CD disk, and a viewing port.
To construct your spectroscope, you need to put a slice in one side of the box at roughly a 30-degree angle. This will hold the CD. Place the CD in the slot to determine where to place the other two cuts. On the top of the box, cut a hole about half an inch to an inch square above the CD. On the side opposite the CD, make a very narrow slit opposite the CD. Alternatively, you can cut a larger slit, and cover it with 2 pieces of foil to control the size of the slit. Spectroscope complete!
Photograph your finished spectrometer and include the photo in your lab report.
Once you have assembled your spectroscope with the instructions in the lecture and above, use it to examine the spectra of three different light sources. Make sure that at least one of them is the sun or moon, but the others can be incandescent lights, compact fluorescent bulbs, LED lights, halogen or xenon bulbs, televisions, computer screens, candles, fireplaces, etc. Aim the slit towards the light source you are investigating, then look through the viewing hole to see the spectrum on the disk.
Answer the following questions:
Identify each light source you viewed and describe the spectra you observed from that source. For each description, include colors, if the colors are blended together or separated, and if the colors are fuzzy or distinct.
What feature of the light source do the spectra represent? In other words, what is it that you are actually analyzing?
Why do you think spectrometers are so valuable for studying celestial objects?

Drawing Molecules Compounds Using Chem Sketch Discussion
Hello,Please go through the instructions written and read them carefullyThis assignment only requires chem sketch in order to be done .I will post the instructions below and I will upload a file for the questions needed to be answeredInstructions :This assignment is submitted as a Microsoft Word document . You are opening a blank Word document, building chemical models in the software, taking screen captures of what you build, and pasting them into the document. Please crop and resize appropriately so I can see them.Follow the instructions to complete the models from Parts A and B. Most students choose to rebuild the tables for Part A and Part B and then paste the models directly into a table cell (include the other information required in additional columns). Organize it however you like as long as I can clearly find the Part A models (twelve models with MR and name) and the Part B models (four 3D ball-and-stick modelswith CC, CH, and CCC bond lengths). Part A can be the line structures as given by the program. Part B MUST be 3D models. Do not hand write anything – all information in the lab must be typed or screen cap/pasted/cropped.

Climate Change Film Review on an Inconvenient Truth Al Gore
M5 Climate Change Film ReviewFor this assignment you will watch the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth. While the film is slightly dated, it remains a relevant and groundbreaking movie which reached a broad segment of the population. Copies of the video are no longer available for sale through the bookstore. Here is a link to Amazon, where you can inexpensively buy or rent the video An Inconvenient Truth. Alternatively, you may be able to find free versions at local libraries or on the Internet though most free online versions have been removed due to copyright.http://www.amazon.com/An-Inconvenient-Truth-Al-Gore/dp/B000ICL3KGAs you're watching the video, think about the following questions and then submit a 1-2 page review of the film that succinctly summarizes the film content and then addresses the questions below.What organization produced the documentary? Do you believe that this organization has a particular position on environmental issues?Is this presenting primary or secondary sources of information?What sort of language is being used? Is it factual? Sensationalistic? Emotional? Biased? Persuasive?What is the purpose of the video? Who is the intended audience?How recent is the information? Based on your readings and other research, what information or current thinking on climate change is missing? Does this distract from the overall value of the film?
