CHAPTER 1 REVIEW – How The Earth Was Formed So, let we start with the origin of universe. it has been stated in The Big Bang theory. Over 13.5 billions years ago, a gigantic explosion produce energy and fundamental particle that created the universe. This mean that all the things that we see today such as rock, animal, plant, water was created during that time. First, quark is formed which is proton, neutron or electron. When all the quark was combined, it formed atom. Atom is then will form molecule and will produce solid, liquid and gases. Some quark are turn to hydrogen and some are turn to helium. Gravitational attraction between hydrogen and helium will create cloud of gas. This cloud, as they began to die, it will spin, contracting and forming stars. The stars will mature then explode to become supernova. About 4.55 billions years ago, there was a formation of solar system. It was started with the cloud that rotates more rapidly as it contract. Then the cloud flatten to pancake-like form and change to ring form. Then, planets form at their present distance from the sun. this make up new solar system that comprising sun and planets throughout the universe. In the beginning year of earth, it was divided into two differentiation. First was early differentiation which is layers that produced in the first 100 millions years ago. The dense liquid of Fe-Ni was sank to the core and less dense remainder forms rocky mantle. During late differentiation, there was a partial melting of mantle that made ‘light’ crust and release gas such as Oxygen and Nitrogen, for atmosphere. There was 6 parts in earth structure, first, which is the deepest one, solid inner core which contain Fe-Ni metal. Second layer is liquid outer core, which contain Fe-Ni metal. Third, rocky mantel, contain Mg-Fe silicate mineral. Forth, rocky crust, containing mainly silicate mineral. Fifth,

    5. When did the Big Bang occur? Space and time were created in the Big Bang. At the beginning of the universe, the space was completely filled with matter. The matter was originally very hot and very dense and then expanded and cooled to eventually produce the stars and galaxies we see in the universe today.…

    It was simply a cloud a gas. Hawking discusses how he is astonished at the fact everything, such as galaxies and other cosmic matter, came from this cloud of gas. And it all had to be built atom-by-atom. The amount of atoms involved in this process is unthinkable. Hawking believes that the all this happened because of gravity. After the Big Bang, the gas was spread throughout the universe. Gravity began to pull these gases together over the course of the next 200 million years. In the early universe, the gas was not evenly spread out, therefore causing areas of high density. The gas simply clumped together. These high density areas is where the first galaxies were…

    When we look into outer-space today we see billions upon billions of stars the cover the “universe”, but what may have crossed your mind is how did they get there? Well before, these stars were there it was said that the universe was a very hot, small, and dense with no stars, atoms, forms “singularity”. The way that the universe became what we see today is what scientist calls “The Big Bang Theory” not to get confused with the show. Scientist base the Big Bang theory on many different factors/observations. The most important is the “redshift” of very far away galaxies. Redshift is the doppler reaction that occurs in light. When an object moves away from earth, it looks reddish because the movement stretches the wavelength. The reddish color occurs because; red is the lowest wavelength on the visible. The more redshift there is, the faster the object is moving away. By measuring the redshift, scientists proved that the universe is expanding and can even work out how fast the object is moving. Basically, what happened is that “space” became expanding very quickly about fourteen billion years ago, and which resulted in the formation of atoms, which eventually led to the creation of stars and galaxies. Space as we know it was created, and is still expanding at a very rapid rate while becoming much cooler.…

    The Formation of the Solar System is one of the oldest problems in science. There have been many theories on how the Solar System formed, but there is only one theory that has been accepted. That would be the nebular theory. Also known as the nebular hypothesis and solar nebula hypothesis. The nebular hypothesis is a model that explains the evolution of the Solar System. Also, the nebular hypothesis is the most accepted model in the field of cosmogony. This model explains subjectively many features of the Solar System, including the information that the planets basically all orbit around the Sun in the same plane. The main idea behind the nebular hypothesis is that the planets and the Sun formed when a spinning cloud of interstellar dust and…

    14 billion years ago, the universe exploded from a singularity containing a lot of concentratedenergy. The energy converted into matter and antimatter. The universe expanded relativelyslowly, then within a fraction of a second, inflated a lot bigger at a very high temperature.When a matter and antimatter particle met, they annihilated, releasing a burst of energycalled a photon. After the annihilations, a small excess of matter was left over, which thenbecame the building blocks of the universe. Three minutes later, when the universe was 1billion degrees Celsius, quarks began to clump in threes to form protons and neutrons. Aproton is the nucleus of the simplest atom - hydrogen. A proton and a neutron formeddeuterium, which then formed helium. (77%hydrogen, 23% helium)…

    The most accepted theory is the Big Bang – a cosmic explosion that caused the world to exist. Before the Big Bang there had been nothing except an amount of matter that was smaller than the eye of a needle. The explosion caused this to expand and thus; our Universe was created. Scientists believe that it is still expanding, and will one day stop, and begin to contract. They have also found slight ripples of cosmic radiation to prove this.…

    There are various theories of how the Earth was created. Of course you have heard about the renowned and celebrated Big Bang Theory. This theory claims that about 15 million years ago, there was a sudden explosion in which matter was thrown in every direction at an unbelievable speed. Matter decelerated and started to form clouds of poisonous gas which subsequently formed galaxies, stars, planets like the Earth, and the sun.…

    A close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering. Therefore I submit my application for the position of MSc Degree in Petroleum Geoscience for Reservoir Development and Production, University of Manchester. I am confident that I have the technical qualifications to meet the course requirements as I strongly believe by completing this course will serve my goal of a career in Oil and Gas industry or involved in research oriented organization. I have completed a four years Degree of engineering in Petroleum at UTM and graduated in July 2011. My undergraduate education has given me a certain set of skills and strong fundamental in Petroleum Engineering as a result to develop a combination of thinking and research capabilities. Being as a Vacation Trainee at Schlumberger in Labuan that was introduced in my third year at the university, I had exposure myself in Oil and Gas Industry closely. I was working in Well Testing Department and it is a great experience for me. I got the chance to learn more about technical knowledge and technology used in the current Oil and Gas Industry. When I was in final year of my study, I had the chance to demonstrate my research abilities by conducting my degree thesis entitled ‘Drilling Mud Filter Cakes Degradation Using Pullulanase Enzyme’. This thesis was a great project due to the fact that I had to study the behavior of an enzyme and also the reservoir environment near the wellbore. I had to design the treatment solution to remove the mud cake in the wellbore to increase the reservoir production. In addition, this project was funded by Exxon Mobile. As a result of working on my thesis, I have not only gained valuable knowledge and confident in my technical skills but also an important experience working in the lab. Besides, my degree thesis was qualified to join Shell Inter-Varsity…
