BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìPotash (the old name for potassium carbonate) is one of the two alkalis (the other
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììbeing soda, sodium carbonate) that were used from remote antiquity in the making of
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììglass, and from the early Middle Ages in the making of soap: the former being the
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììproduct of heating a mixture of alkali and sand, the latter a product of alkali and

vegetable oil. Their importance in the communities of colonial North America need
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììhardly be stressed.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìPotash and soda are not interchangeable for all purposes, but for glass-or soap-
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììmaking either would do. Soda was obtained largely from the ashes of certain
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìMediterranean sea plants, potash from those of inland vegetation. Hence potash was
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(10)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
more familiar to the early European settlers of the North American continent.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìThe settlement at Jamestown in Virginia was in many ways a microcosm of the
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììeconomy of colonial North America, and potash was one of its first concerns. It was
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììrequired for the glassworks, the first factory in the British colonies, and was produced
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììin sufficient quantity to permit the inclusion of potash in the first cargo shipped out of
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(15)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
Jamestown. The second ship to arrive in the settlement from England included among
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììits passengers experts in potash making.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìThe method of making potash was simple enough. Logs was piled up and burned
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììin the open, and the ashes collected. The ashes were placed in a barrel with holes in the
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììbottom, and water was poured over them. The solution draining from the barrel was

BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììinto what was called potash.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìIn North America, potash making quickly became an adjunct to the clearing of land
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììfor agriculture, for it was estimated that as much as half the cost of clearing land could
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììbe recovered by the sale of potash. Some potash was exported from Maine and New

BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììconsisting mostly of shipments from the northern to the southern colonies. For despite

BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìThe first flying vertebrates were true reptiles in which one of the fingers of the
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììfront limbs became very elongated, providing support for a flap of stretched skin
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììthat served as a wing. These were the pterosaurs, literally the "winged lizards." The
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììearliest pterosaurs arose near the end of the Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era, some
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(5)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
70 million years before the first known fossils of true birds occur, and they presumably
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììdominated the skies until they were eventually displaced by birds. Like the dinosaurs,
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììsome the pterosaurs became gigantic; the largest fossil discovered is of an individual
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììthat had a wingspan of 50 feet or more, larger than many airplanes. These flying
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììreptiles had large, tooth-filled jaws, but their bodies were small and probably without
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(10)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
the necessary powerful muscles for sustained wing movement. They must have been
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììexpert gliders, not skillful fliers, relying on wind power for their locomotion.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìBirds, despite sharing common reptilian ancestors with pterosaurs, evolved quite
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììseparately and have been much more successful in their dominance of the air. They
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììare an example of a common theme in evolution, the more or less parallel development

of different types of body structure and function for the same reason-in this case,
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììfor flight. Although the fossil record, as always, is not complete enough to determine
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììdefinitively the evolutionary lineage of the birds or in as much detail as one would
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììlike, it is better in this case than for many other animal groups. That is because of the
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììunusual preservation in a limestone quarry in southern Germany of Archaeopteryx, a

fossil that many have called the link between dinosaurs and birds. Indeed, had it not
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììbeen for the superb preservation of these fossils, they might well have been classified
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììas dinosaurs. They have the skull and teeth of a reptile as well as a bony tail, but in the
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììline-grained limestone in which these fossils occur there are delicate impressions of

BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(A) of their limited wingspan
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(B) of their disproportionately large bodies

BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìIn July of 1994, an astounding series of events took place. The world anxiously
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììwatched as, every few hours, a hurtling chunk of comet plunged into the atmosphere
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììof Jupiter. All of the twenty-odd fragments, collectively called comet Shoemaker-
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìLevy 9 after its discoverers, were once part of the same object, now dismembered and
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(5)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
strung out along the same orbit. This cometary train, glistening like a string of pearls,
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììhad been first glimpsed only a few months before its fateful impact with Jupiter, and
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììrather quickly scientists had predicted that the fragments were on a collision course
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììwith the giant planet. The impact caused an explosion clearly visible from Earth, a
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììbright flaming fire that quickly expanded as each icy mass incinerated itself. When
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(10)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
each fragment slammed at 60 kilometers per second into the dense atmosphere, its
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììimmense kinetic energy was transformed into heat, producing a superheated fireball
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììthat was ejected back through the tunnel the fragment had made a few seconds earlier.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/ÌìThe residues from these explosions left huge black marks on the face of Jupiter, some
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììof which have stretched out to form dark ribbons.
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(15)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
Although this impact event was of considerable scientific import, it especially
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììpiqued public curiosity and interest. Photographs of each collision made the evening
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììtelevision newscast and were posted on the Internet. This was possibly the most open
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììscientific endeavor in history. The face of the largest planet in the solar system was
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììchanged before our very eyes. And for the very first time, most of humanity came to
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(20)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
fully appreciate the fact that we ourselves live on a similar target, a world subject to
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììcatastrophe by random assaults from celestial bodies. That realization was a surprise
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììto many, but it should not have been. One of the great truths revealed by the last few
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììdecades of planetary exploration is that collisions between bodies of all sizes are
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ììrelatively commonplace, at least in geologic terms, and were even more frequent in
BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì(25)BxP^^¼8@´cforum.liuxuehome.com$WȦé/Ìì
the early solar system.
