answer:

the 1800s (the canal craze)

1809

honore flaugergues, a french amateur astronomer, notices "yellow clouds" on the surface of mars, which were later found to be dust clouds.

1813

flaugergues notices that the polar ice cap melts significantly in the martian spring. he concludes that this implies that mars is hotter than earth.

1840

wilhelm beer (1797 - 1850) and johann von maedler (1794 - 1874) observe mars over periods of 759, 1604, and 2234 days, and determine that the rotational period of mars is 24 hours, 37 minutes, 22.6 seconds, which is surprisingly close to the currently accepted value of 24 hours, 37 minutes, 22.7 seconds.

1854

william whewell concludes that mars has green seas and red land, and wonders if there is extraterrestrial life.

1858

angelo secci (1818 - 1878), a jesuit monk, draws mars and calls syrtis major the "atlantic canal".

1862

frederik kaiser calculated the rotational period of mars to be 24 hours, 37 minutes, 22.62 seconds (today's accepted value - 24h, 37m, 22.663 +/-0.002s.

1867

richard anthony proctor publishes a map of mars with continents and oceans. his choice of zero meridian is still the currently accepted convention.

1867

pierre jules janssen (1824 - 1907), sir william huggins (1824 - 1910) make the first (unsuccessful) attempt to detect water vapor and oxygen spectroscopically.

1877

giovanni schiaparelli (1835 - 1910) develops a nomenclature for mapping the features of mars. the names are drawn from mythology, history, and various terms for hell. 1877

schiaparelli uses the term "canali" to describe the streaks on the surface of mars. this is wrongly thought to mean "canals," and is thought to imply that mars has intelligent life that has built a system of canals.

1877

asaph hall discovers the moons of mars. he names them phobos (fear) and deimos (fright), after the horses of the greek war god, ares (counterpart to the roman war god, mars).

1879

schiaparelli observes double "canali", to him an example of "germination".

1894

percival lowell (1855 - 1916) begins observation of mars at his observatory in flagstaff, arizona. that same year, edward emerson barnard (1857 - 1923) reports that he has found no evidence of canals on mars.

1895

percival lowell publishes mars.

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
