Volcanos affect us and our environment in many ways, some are bad, and some are good. The environment is one of the beautiful things the earth has to offer, and volcanos are one of the things that are helping it and harming it. How do volcanos affect us and our environment? Volcanos are one of the most spectacular and beautiful features of the physical world on the other hand, great volcanic eruption in historic times have brought death and destruction to many areas around the world. Erupting…

1. The two genera of Eocene fossil primates I choose are Eosimias and Darwinius. Eosimias was first described in 1999 and discovered in 1994 by Christopher Beard. Darwinius was discovered and described in 1983 at the Messel pit. 2. Eosimias lived during the middle Eocene age in Southern China (Fleagle 397). The fossil itself was collected Jiangsu Providence, China. Darwinius also lived during the middle Eocene in Europe, particulary Germany. Darwinius masillae was discorvered southeast of…

Captain Geography put on his gear his suit, shield, ring, and of course cape. From the cave, he flew out to go save the world. Not too long after he put on the suit he received a message from a citizen in Beijing, China. They said that a villain by the name of Jin Wong was trying to destroy the most important piece of history in China today. As fast as he could, Captain Geography flew to Beijing to help the citizens. When he got to the scene of the crime Jin Wong had already left without a trace…

The Western Cordillera is found standing along the western edge of the continent. Made of ranges and ranges of mountains separated by occasional plateaus and valleys. Many provinces found in this region are British Columbia, Yukon Territories, Southwest Alberta, and parts of Northwest Territories. The mountain ranges found here are not as old as the other regions, as they are not yet rounded hills. These mountains occurred when the North American and Pacific plates collided, that spans…

Utah has two most known canyons. Big and Little cotton canyons which were created by the intensive glacial scenery in the Wasatch Range. Both of these canyons between 20.000 to 10.000 years and years ago, with many of other basins were compiled with hundreds of feet of ice glaciers. Specifically the little cottonwood canyon glacier that went and reached over to extend into Lake Bonneville. These glaciers carried significant amount of rocks which till this day were able to witness as they carved…

Dynamic Planet is an amazing branch of science. From oceanography, to currents, to plate tectonics, all of the subtleties of the dynamic planet are unique in their own ways. Our Earth, itself, is a dynamic planet. The planet contains over one thousand volcanoes, forty thousand earthquakes, and almost two hundred impact craters. All of these features come from the Earth constantly being in motion. The Earth has powerful forces that are caused by nature. Most of which can’t be seen but felt…

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…

magma chamber encompasses half of the park above it and extends almost 5 miles deep (Adah, 2016). This makes Yellowstone’s magma chamber the largest known on Earth. Since Yellowstone is a supervalcano, an eruption would have a magnitude of 8 on the Volcano Explosively Index. At this magnitude, Yellowstone would release over 250 cubic miles of magma (Yellowstone Park, n.d.-h). Scientists discovered that Yellowstone has had three super…

must know about its various geographical features, types of weather, and signs of water.The first key of knowledge that you should know about Mars is its many geographical features. Mars is home to many volcanoes including, Mount. Olympus Mons. This volcano is about the size of Arizona and 100 times larger than the tallest mountain in the U.S.A. Mars also has a load of craters, the biggest impact crater is Hellas Planitia. “... It is about 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) in diameter and about 9…

There are many different aspects in the world of geology. Something that I want to focus on are hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents are like chimney shaped hot springs that are located on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents were first discovered in 1977 near the Galapagos Islands in the eastern Pacific. Scientists exploring the area along the mid-oceanic ridge had noticed drastic temperature changes in their data. With the help of ALVIN, a research deep sea submersible, they discovered vents…
