Well‚ Earth hasn’t been moving vigorously but it is changing at a steady rate. New geological features‚ rock formations‚ and locations of plates all rise and demolish some in a lifetime and others over a span of millions of years. Earth is dynamic; it constantly progresses and doesn’t rest. Through the churns and molds‚ the twists and turns‚ Earth is active because of plate tectonics and the rock cycle. The ideas and theories that make up plate tectonics have shown Earth’s dynamism. The position

Handout 1: Questions for Triumph of the Will by Leni Riefenstahl (1934/35) 1. Why does this film begin with a view of the clouds from the cockpit of an airplane? What might this image symbolize? I believe that the film began with a view of the clouds from the cockpit probably because Hitler was on the plane and it showed that he felt superior to everyone down below‚ or that he was finally in the midst of completing what he wanted which was to have a perfect Germany under his reign. 2.

depression. It is located at the contact between cretaceous and Eocene deposits. One of the early geologic works was carried out by Ball and Beadnell (1903). They produce a topographical- geological map of the oasis and discuss the stratigraphy of the rock exposed. They distinguished three topographic features; the bounding escarpments; the conical hills within the depression and the oasis floor. They notice that the southern scarp is steeper than the northern scarp. The eastern scarp has smooth outline

Rock Candy By Paula Muniz OBSERVATION: I already know that to make rock candy you need water‚ sugar and a skewer and maybe a sugary syrup. Rock candy usually takes around 10 days to make for the candy to crystallize. I know that when making rock candy you can use different types of sugar‚ however granulated sugar is the most used. Sometimes I wonder whether or not you can taste a difference in the rock candy when it is made with a different sugar? I also know that the longest rock candy

How Pop Rocks Candy Work Pop Rocks like other hard candy is made by mixing sugar‚ lactose‚ corn syrup‚ and artificial colors/flavors‚ and processed with carbon dioxide (the same gas that used in all carbonated beverages ). The candy is made by mixing its ingredients and heating them until they melt into dust‚ then exposing the mixture to pressurized carbon dioxide gas at about 600 pounds per square inch‚ and allowing it to cool. The process causes tiny high pressure bubbles to be trapped inside

water is frightening‚ yet exhilarating. The water’s spray is cool and keeps us laughing. The captain looks anxiously about for rocks and logs. To one side‚ a cliff that must be four thousand feet tall looms over the raging river like an overgrown skyscraper. The canyon contrasts against the sky like black carpet in a house with white walls. Little metallic pieces of rock mirror the sun’s rays and create a magical ambiance. The sky is very blue here‚ like the bluest water in the ocean on a clear

Pangaea is the proposed supercontinent that 200 million years ago supposedly began to shift apart and form our present continents. Alfred Wegener proposed this theory along with continental drift; Evidence he used includes matching fossils‚ rock types‚ and ancient climates
