Planet Thoughts

Planet:


My planet consists of around 80% water, half of it frozen. It's on a complete horizontal axis, so the back side of the planet is in a constant state of winter – always ice, and always in complete darkness. On the other side is perpetual summer, very warm and sunny. The planet's close moon creates intense tides that can create large cliffs when the tide is low.
On the surface, the land masses are mountainous and for most of the time, extremely tall cliffs. The tops of the cliffs are lush with different sorts of plant life and creatures. Large spires come out of the water, the tops identify them as giant types of conch shells. When the water rises, many of them are obscured underwater. Life is abundant in both the land and water on the front side of the planet. The frozen half has very little to possibly no life at all.

has to be a goldilocks planet with similar conditions to Earth

ROUGH
Ocean with big cliffs and mountains next to it. Lush plant life on mountains and cliffs.

how do species interact with the ecosystems around the planet and how has it developed?
think about things like: color of sky, plant colors & what colors they absorb / reflect, moons, tidal functions, seasons & tilts,

- seasons all about tilt of planet and its relation to its star (can erase seasons all together by having no tilt, or have it be very extreme by having the planet at 90 degrees)

notes from physics lecture
- cepheid variables (pulsates)
- Planck space
- multiverse
- all elements up to iron on element table
- earth has core of iron and nickel --> provides energy to surface of earth
- CHONPS
- tidal flexing (ex: Europa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

notes from environmental lecture
- biotic (living) <--> abiotic (non living)
- generation times matter in our world, adaption based on time
- give creatures unique traits

possible life forms:

  • Types of birds to fly from the cliffs and nest on the rocky edges (bigger ones hunt in the ocean, smaller ones either get food from certain plant life on top of the cliffs, or hunt small bugs that live at the bottom of the cliffs)
  • small creatures (for the most part) on top of the cliffs because of the high altitude 
    • small predator like a fox, small prey like some sort of ram
  • Can also have a Yak sort of creature to be a larger animal on top of the cliffs
  • Most sentient creature probably lives in cave pockets in the cliffs, around the middle of the top of the cliffs and the ocean below. Not too low so that when the tide rises their homes would be flooded
    • the caves provide protection from rain and outside forces - also helps them sleep in the darkness because daytime is constant
    • they have created contraptions to aid them travel along the sides of the cliffs, their characteristics have to be built to help them do this as well (look at mountain goats)
  • There's probably a creature that takes habitat in the giant conch shells

Sociology

Sociology Conformist - most of the people in Altum are conformists. Because of the way the society is cultivated and how the younglings are raised, conformism is encouraged to aid in the betterment of the community. Innovator - the very early Altumiums split into two "clans". The Altumiums that wanted to travel and find new resources for their people are considered innovators Rebel - probably one or two Altumiums -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What kind of deviant is your world?

Wakanda Theme Park Synopsis

Isa Correa Hayley Schaeffer Synopsis Our Wakanda theme park will feature a story that takes place years after the events of the film. Wakanda has opened to the public for the first time ever, allowing visitors from all over the world to tour and educate. However some groups in Wakanda are more reluctant to breaking tradition, which may lead to uprising and unrest... Our park is an indoor dome made to appear as a forest on the outside-  similar to how Wakanda is hidden in plain sight. Inside, it is sectioned in four different areas corresponding to the main tribes of Wakanda – the center being a city area where all the tribes converge. When entering, the visitor will see the cave entrance to the Vibranium mine, which is in the shape of a giant black panther. This will be the entrance to the park's largest attraction and its "weenie". It is stationed in the opposite of the entrance, but is able to be seen upon arrival due to it's elevation, massiveness, and wow-f

Planet Description

Image
"Altum" In a quadrant of the universe familiar to locals as the Omega Cloud, is the galaxy Messier 63 – however, it is most commonly referred to as the "Sunflower Galaxy". At the outskirts of said galaxy are seven planets all rotating around a large, yellow sun by the name of "Scatha". The only one with any sort of life forms is a humbly sized planet in a perpetual state of frost – at least only half of it. Due to its complete horizontal tilt, the dark side of the planet is constantly frozen with life only sustained on the edges where the frozen Islands of Idanium reside. Unlike the wintery lands, the other half is usually sunny and very warm, being able to preserve many types of creatures (both and land and water). The close moon is what gives this planet its name of "Altum", for the intense tides create high cliffs when the tide is low. On the surface, the land masses consist of mountains and cliffs, and the tops are lush with plant and
