Impact Cratering: The Effect of Crustal Strength and Planetary Gravity
Upon impact of a meteorite with a planetary surface the resulting shock wave both 'processes' the material in the vicinity of the impact and sets a larger volume of material than was subjected to high pressure into motion. Most of the volume which is excavated by the impact leaves the crater after the shock wave has decayed. The kinetic energy which has been deposited in the planetary surface i...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
Bayesian time series analysis of terrestrial impact cratering
Giant impacts by comets and asteroids have probably had an important influence on terrestrial biological evolution. We know of around 180 high velocity impact craters on the Earth with ages up to 2400 Myr and diameters up to 300 km. Some studies have identified a periodicity in their age distribution, with periods ranging from 13 to 50 Myr. It has further been claimed that such periods may be c...
متن کاملThe “ human ” statistics of terrestrial impact cratering rate ⋆
The most significant periodicities in the terrestrial impact crater record are due to the “human–signal”: the bias of assigning integer values for the crater ages. This bias seems to have eluded the proponents and opponents of real periodicity in the occurrence of these events, as well as the theorists searching for an extraterrestrial explanation for such periodicity. The “human–signal” should...
متن کاملOn Applicability of Some Indirect Tests for Estimation of Tensile Strength of Anisotropic Rocks
The tensile strength of rocks plays a noteworthy role in their failure mechanism, and its determination can be beneficial in optimizing the design of the rock structures. Schistose rocks due to their inherent anisotropy in different foliation directions show a diverse strength at each direction. The purpose of this work was to compare and assess the tensile strength of phyllite, which was obtai...
