The thinking is that if certain minerals occur here on Earth, as a result of a biological process, and if we also find those same minerals on another planet, this would suggest that life may have once existed there! But just because a particular mineral is found on, say Mars or Venus,...

Did Chandrayaan 1 land on the moon? How do meteorite impact craters form? What happened to the meteor that created Meteor Crater? What minerals are found in Meteor Crater? Where is the Copernicus crater? Where is the largest meteor crater in the U.S.?
Tap water contains dissolved minerals, such as chlorine, magnesium, calcium, and sodium, which are a lethal cocktail to the Venus fly trap. If used regularly, these minerals build up in the soil and cause the plant to become sickly, turn black, and die. Instead, use distilled water or ra...
Now, minerals are not alive, of course, so this is not evolution in quite the same sense you'd have in living organisms. But there do appear to be some parallels. Living organisms not only adapt to their environment but also affect it— change the environment within which other organisms ...
Fred Jourdan is a geochronologist and geochemist at Curtin University. Jourdan's research interests include investigating impact craters on Earth and using geochronology to age rocks and minerals found at the impact site. In the chaotic conditions of the early solar system, this materialrepeatedly cla...
Which of these are planets that are visible to the naked eye from Earth's surface? a. the Moon b. Mars c. Uranus d. Mercury e. Pluto f. Jupiter g. Saturn h. Neptune i. Venus If there was no atmosphere surrounding Earth, what would the color of the sun ...
Beyond Earth, cinder cones are believed to exist on the Moon, Mars, and Venus. [1] These beliefs are based on the morphology of the volcanoes as viewed on satellite images. All three of these bodies are known to have volcanic surface features produced by the eruption of silicate magmas, ...
These factors include the values of the physical constants, the strength of the fundamental forces, the type of star, the size of the planet, the distance between them, etc. Things like the nature of the atmosphere present on the planet, its constituent minerals and compounds, and the amount...
Fairy stones are brown staurolite,a combination of SILICA, IRON and ALUMINUM (and dots of real garnet). Together, these minerals crystallize in twin form, accounting for the cross-like structure. Found only in rocks that have been subjected to great heat and pressure, the stones are most comm...
