Geomorphology

this dating process is also useful to anthropologists in other studies. According to the internet article, The Solar Origins of Dendrochronolgy, by Matthew Wills (2015), Dendrochronolgy is also valuable to use in the fields climatology, ecology, geomorphology, Glaciology, hydrology, and entomology (para.…

Physical geography looks at the ordinary course of the Earth, such as weather and plate tectonics. Human geography looks at the impact and behavior of people and how they relate to the physical world. Location Pinpoints different positions, people, places and locations on the earth surface. Absolute location -vs- relative location For example: Turkey is absolute between 36 degrees and 42 degrees north latitude and between 26 degrees and 45 degrees east longitude. The relative location of…

Geology of the Nile Delta was studied only through geophysical data and the drilled wells. Rizzni et al (1978) defined three sedimentary cycles within Delta region from Mid-Miocene to Helocene . Sestini(1976) ,Zaghloul et al (1976) discussed the geomorphology and history of the Nile Delta . Said (1981) gave a explanation of the Nile River and its Delta. In order to study the subsurface geology of Nile Delta 18 Deep wells and regional grid of seismic lines were used. The wells data were tied…

the motivation for the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, and discuss both the positive and negative changes the Glen Canyon Dam has inflicted. Although there are a plethora of impacts, I will be focusing only on those that have influenced the geomorphology of the area. Of these impacts I will concentrate on the negative impacts the dam has had on its environment. Finally, I will detail the current attempts to mitigate the detrimental effects that have arisen as well explore other possible…

All waterways were not created equal. Those who have never spent time studying stream structure or ecology are likely to incorrectly assume that any stream is, for the most part, just like any other stream. However, this is a dangerous misconception that is not at all correct. The truth is that streams and rivers provide a huge diversity of food, prey, and shelter along their length. This diversity can be explained by the River Continuum Concept and stems from the many different and highly…

He wanted to help make improvements of the teacher’s knowledge and make other resources available to their students. Vidal also contributed many works over his years such as 17 books, 107 articles and 240 reports and reviews (Wiki). He had written a famous elementary book for geography but is his two best know works are probably the Tableau de la Geographie de la France written in 1903 and Principles of Human Geography written in 1918. He like other Geographers we will talk about like Ratzel saw…

Australia is in the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean. It is composed of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and the overseas territories. Australia is in the southern hemisphere. Australia is located off the southeast coast of Asia, next to Russia, Canada, China, the United States, and Brazil. Its land is as large as about four-fifths of China. The coastline of 3,700 km has the Pacific Ocean to the East and the Indian Ocean to the West. It is also the only exclusive city state in…

wetland, and an assessment of the impact on the wetland of land-cover types present within the wetland's upslope catchment. The overall score is worked by using a weighted score of combined o impact scores derived from the scores for Hydrology, Geomorphology, Water quality and Vegetation, this score is weighted as 3:2:2:2,…

Water is the key element to support the life and preserves natural ecosystems on earth. In the history of civilization water plays an important role for the establishment of habitat and also for expansion of trade. Most of the towns and cities were developed near sources of drinking water and along rivers for transportation. Mesopotamia was situated between the major rivers Tigris and Euphrates and the ancient society of the Egyptians depended entirely upon the Nile for agriculture productivity.…

"moon-like", wrinkled ridges called the dorsum, mountain ranges, basins, canyons. The ground of Mercury has crumbled due to the impact of meteorites and soil erosion due to rapid daily variations in temperature. Overall knowledge of the geology and geomorphology of Mercury are based for now only on research spacecraft Mariner 10 in 1975 and the first telescope from Earth. Consequently, Mercury is still unknown like the inner planets of the solar system, and the analysis…
