I would like to address the so-called Young-Earth viewpoint relating to catastrophic plate tectonics. The Young-Earthier reject the idea that the Earth is billions, millions, or even hundreds of thousands of years old, instead insisting that the Earth is only about 6,000 years old ("The 10 Best Evidences from Science that Confirm a Young Earth"). How this mindset relates to plate tectonics is their explanation of the great flood and its effects on the physical properties of the Earth’s crust.…

wouldn’t love the subject on which world progress depends on? My most important accomplishment is taking part in the GMU FOCUS STEM Camp. At this five-day camp, I learned new concepts in each STEM subject. I learned new topics in science, biology, geology, chemistry, forensic science, and physics. I really enjoyed the exposure to so many topics. On the second day, I learned about topics in technology like designing on the computer, being an innovator, circuits, cyber security, and more. On the…

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 -1519) Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci, the unlawful son of a local lawyer. He was apprenticed to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an self-governing master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a mural of 'The Last Supper' in the refectory of the Monastery of Santa Maria.…

institution, making me a first generation college student and subsequently the trial run for the family. I went to college with no savings and the understanding that I would be taking the financial burden. I love learning and I have a passion for geology, I declared the major as a first year. I have pushed myself to take as many courses, and winter term and summer experiences as possible to enhance my geologic knowledge. My efforts have motivated me to achieve the grades…

“Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!” Those were the last words anyone heard from David Johnson. He had been closely monitoring a steaming, trembling snow-capped mountain near Vancouver, Washington. Mount St. Helens had not erupted in over 100 years. But two months earlier, an earthquake had jolted it to life. Homes were evacuated and roads were closed as hundreds of explosive blasts of steam burst from the volcano and earthquakes shook the area. Scientists knew that pressure was building up…

feeling of uncertainty since the maps were destined to change; unexpected, sudden changes that often times lead you to a dead-end-road. What is more important, is that the maps also had “layers” (57). For Manzanar, he viewed these changes as the “geology of land” (57). Nonetheless, these multi-layered maps became covered in their own complexity. This then “rendered” the streets in numerous ways that caused the maps to become useless. In addition…

origin of our being when they acknowledge that they cannot do that. Huse began his tackle in the realm of geology. This is most important since modern evolutionary theories thoroughly developed thanks in large part to uniformitarian geologists of the 18th and 19th centuries. They laid the foundations for Charles Darwin to publish his original work, Origin of Species. Huse demonstrated that geology does not support these uniformitarian beliefs of vast ages for Earth’s history. He argued,…

Literature Review Temperature The greatest source of heat in water is solar irradiance by direct absorption (Wetzel and Likens, 2000). We might assumed that heat will remain at where it was absorbed and temperature will decrease exponentially with depth, just with the light and may remain constant at the hypolimnion (Lampert and Sommer, 2007). Water has the properties of high heat capacity, thus the larger lake might tends to moderate the local climate and provide the longer growing season for…

After five years of drought, California has been accessing groundwater to provide for their water needs. The access of groundwater use has caused the land to sink slowly over decades, but recently the more extensive pumping has caused the groundwater levels to quickly reach dangerous lows. This has resulted in the land to sink at a rapid rate, putting a large section of California’s aboveground infrastructure at risk. NASA was able to discover this notable difference in land height through radar…

edge is being made by the Australian and Eurasian plate collision at the Timor area, which is reactivating and overprinting more established inactive edge structures. The geology of Australia consist of all common rock types and from all geological time span dating more than 3.8 billion years of planet Earth history. The geology of the Australia continent can be divided into different major zones: which is primarily dominated by the Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic cratonic shields, Palaeo to…
