History of Early Geology Catastro‐phism Tries to explain the presence of everything on earth and their composition by catastrophes. E.g. A catastrophe happened to dinosaurs 80 million years ago. A comet fell on earth surface leading to volcanoes‚ leading to dust clouds in the atmosphere‚ preventing solar rays penetration ‚ the plants died and then the dinosaurs. Uniformi‐tarianism (James Hu on‚ late 1700s) ‐ He proposed that the same processes that are at work today were at work in the past. Summarized by “THE PRESENT IS THE KEY TO THE PAST

Where exactly is Oklahoma? When geographers speak of location‚ they are using two separate definitions‚ each with its own useful purpose. The first of these is Absolute Location. Absolute location refers to an exact‚ pinpointed location. Absolute locations involve some sort of measurement‚ whether it’s latitude and longitude‚ an address‚ the number of miles from an exact point‚ etc. Pinpointing Oklahoma on a map using absolute location involves locating latitude and longitude lines on the map.

Ch. 1 Questions 3.) How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts‚ huge volcanic eruptions‚ or great earthquakes? The principle of uniformitarianism states‚ “The present is the key to the past (Murck‚ B. W.‚ Skinner‚ B. J.‚ Mackenzie‚ D.‚ Visualizing Geology 2008). This means that anything that happens or will happen today‚ most likely has happened in the past. Scottish geologist James Hutton’s observation is that the physical

That is a problem‚ a scarcity of information about this unique bird‚ when it is known as the competitor of the dinosaur‚ as ’symbol of extinction ’ and who is more popular in that sense. The application that I am building for my final year project will simulate the dodo bird‚ enabling it to interact with users. It will have a realism style on the look‚ as to cater

Most people believe that the largest animals to ever exist on Earth were the dinosaurs. However‚ one of the largest land dinosaurs‚ thesauropod Argentinosaurus‚ weighed only about 180‚000 pounds (81‚647 kg). That’s little more than half the size of an adult blue whale. It makes a lot of sense that the world’s largest animal would be a sea creature. Land
