Based on the present day plate boundaries and similarities on multiple continents, It’s believed that the continents of Sciencia were once together as a supercontinent called Edisonia. The supercontinent held 6 of the 8 modern continents, which broke apart due to tectonic forces in the Lithosphere. Also, the 7th and 8th continents were believed to have formed from volcanic eruptions on convergent plate boundaries. The edges on the modern- day Sciencian…

A table popped up from underneath the newly installed hardwood. I could tell it would be another blissful day in the state of New Georgia. Sirens began to blare,…

erupted. The date of eruption was May 18, 1980. There were a few clues on March 27 because the volcano started spouting ashes and steam.

According to the McGraw-Hill Dictionary (2003) it can be defined as a mass extinction event marking the division between the Permian Period and the Triassic Period as well as the border between the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras. It is estimated to have triggered the extinction of 90% or more of all ocean species, approximately 70% of land vertebrates, and significant extinctions of…

Earthquake in Illapel During my time in Chile, I lived through my first major earthquake, avoided death and lived to tell the story. I experienced firsthand the trauma of living through one of mother nature’s most dangerous catastrophes. The earthquake showed just how unpredictable life is and how it should be cherished intensely every single day. Why was I in Chile? I was there serving a mission for my church, where I was able to teach people every day about Christ, serve in any way…

date for the fossils. Relative dating is used to organize geological events, and the rocks they leave behind in a sequence. A geological event is basically a severe natural event that happens in the crust of earth that is normally harmful like an earthquake or a volcano . The method of reading the order is called stratigraphy…

On Monday, September 25, 2015 at around 5 pm, a dangerous typhoon swept across northeast Taiwan. This typhoon was felt by all Taiwanese people, as the aftermath of the tropical storm included fallen trees, debris, and destruction. These typhoons are formed in the monsoon trough; meaning there is minimum sea level pressure. Typhoons usually strike in Taiwan, Japan, and Guam because they are located in the “convergence zone”, where wind patterns from the northern and southern hemisphere collide.…
