Geology 101—Lesson 2 Assignment 1. What is meant by "hydrogen is the simplest of all elements"? Because hydrogen has an atomic number of only “1” which means it only has one proton in its nucleus and it is the only element with only one proton in its nucleus also has one electron 2. What must happen in order for an atom to lose its electrical neutrality? In order for an atom to lose its electrical neutrality the protons and electrons

of Hawaii‚ it is believed that it will become an Island soon enough. Loihi is slowly moving across the hot spot and growing from its continuous eruptions. By observing the growth of Loihi and the patterns of eruptive activity of older seamounts‚ geologists can study the growth of the Hawaiian Islands more extensively. (Normark‚ 1982) Figure 2: (Rowland) The image above shows a picture of Loihi‚ a volcanic seamount‚ that is currently sitting on the hot spot and growing. It is not yet classified

Global Warming Life is Changing Global warming is the most urgent environmental problem the world is facing. Few‚ if any‚ trends are more important to our future than climate change caused by ... Severe droughts‚ flooding‚ increased disease‚ and major disruption in ecosystems are the likely consequences of the global warming caused by industrialized human activity‚ or climate changes are a natural part of Earth’s history and no cause for alarm. These two scenarios are polar opposites posited

(Conniff‚ Richard‚ Smithsonian‚ 2012). Over time it transformed into believing the continental drift theory would ultimately doom your career. He never got the credit he deserved‚ and it wasn’t until the early 1960’s when a younger generation of geologists took over and further proved seafloor spreading tectonic plates grinding across each other deep within the earth. Wegener responded with to the strong criticism the best way possible‚ by compiling additional evidence and other sources. He admitted

Continental drift has helped create the diversity we see present in modern day plants and animals. Through a process of speciation‚ the movement of the continents has had a generous role throughout evolution‚ effecting and distributing flora and fauna. The Earth’s continents were once one‚ a large supercontinent called Pangea that later separated into two smaller ones known as Gondwana and Laurasia. The separation and collision of continents has not only created some of the valleys and mountain ranges

PART C - Analyze and Conclude 1. After you created a geologic time scale with key events in Earth’s History‚ compare the number of events in each era. Did more Earth-shaping events occur early in Earth’s history or later on? Explain why. Based on my geologic time scale‚ there are three events in Precambrian Time‚ two events in Paleozoic Era‚ four events in Mesozoic Era and one event in Cenozoic Era. These events mostly occurred later on in Earth’s history. Mesozoic Era has the most events which

Coincidentally‚ prior to the earthquake‚ Haiti experienced two tropical storms and a major hurricane in 2010; which may corroborate geologists’ assertion that increased soil erosion from these extreme weather events may have triggered the 2010 earthquake in Haiti (Ader‚ 2011) (Wdowinski‚ Tsukanov‚ Hong‚ & Amelung‚ 2010).
