search for truth through repeated experiment and observation.” With that in mind the area of science I am mainly going to focus on is geology. Geology includes the study of minerals, natural earth processes, as well as fossils. The third and final topic I am also going to address the topic of faith. The end goal is to fully lay out how I personally believe science, geology and faith should correspond with each other. When I think of the word science the first thing that comes to mind is…

stressful career. To be a Paleontologist you need a college degree in Geology or Biology. A Paleontologist uses research to find out certain things about the organisms they find as fossils. They use qualitative and quantitative research. They use geology and biology because it connects with paleontology to show where these things are found and where they would have been in the past. To be a Paleontologist you need a degree for geology of biology. Some colleges that have good Paleontology…

It's been called the most important scientific book ever. A stunning claim, but certainly Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology, published in 1830, shook prevailing views of how Earth had been formed. Sir Charles Lyell, (November 14, 1797 – February 22, 1875) was the preeminent geologist of his time and distributer of the compelling work, Principles of Geology. Storing up an enormous measure of confirmation, both from his own field research and the work of others, Lyell promoted the idea that…

As a group, we did our project on the country of Russia. I did my part of the project on the geology of Russia. Specifically, the geology and volcanos on Kamchatka. I find the subject of geology very fascinating and I plan on choosing it as a major but I especially find the geology of Kamchatka to be very interesting. In my presentation, I will be discussing the history of the Kamchatka Peninsula, the tectonic plates and the ring of fire, and some of my favorite volcanos in Russia. On the far…

In geology I take responsibility for all of my work just as I do in my English class. For example I had a responsibility to do a take home test over the Thanksgiving break and I took that responsibility and did my test and finished it for the Monday we returned…

Archaeology studies all our human history interpreted through the objects left behind within the past. Most of our human history has been without written language and archaeology looks at other objects made to discover how life was like for past peoples. There are many facets to archaeology and countless variables that must be considered when interpreting some artifacts use or meaning. This means that archaeology isn’t what people see as some dusty old objects but instead an active field within…

Earth is composed of many different components such as minerals, and rocks. These components have several different properties and characteristics which are unique to each. In this paper, I will discuss some of the different properties, characteristics, and uses of three different factors, those being gypsum, coal, and nickel. Gypsum Gypsum is derived from the Greek word gypsos which means plaster (Gypsum Meanings, Powers, and History). Gypsum is composed of oxygen, calcium, sulfur, and water…
