In it‚ Darwin makes "one long argument‚"with copious empircal examples as support‚ for his theory that "groups" of organisms‚ (now called populations) rather than individual organisms

The physical sciences are a massively diverse discipline. Within the context of the physical sciences‚ one might explore a wide range of phenomena‚ utilizing a wide range of differing methodologies and theoretical perspectives. For instance‚ the same discipline that emphasizes the study of organisms‚ their function‚ and interaction with the ecosystem in the field of biology‚ may also emphasize the study of the earth itself and natural geological processes in the field of earth science

THESIS STATEMENT: geologists classify rocks based on how the rocks were formed. Rocks can be classified into three categories on the basis of their formation: igneous rocks‚ sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. I. The first type is igneous rocks (from the Greek word for fire) which are formed from molten rock (magma) and lava. A. Formation 1.coming up of magma through cracks 2. forming a layer on surface or filling other cracks 3. cooling forming a very hard igneous rock 4. magma

The rock cycle is very important to us because it explains the way the different types of rocks are formed on earth. Geologists classify rocks in three groups‚ depending on the Earth processes that made them. Some rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Other rocks are formed by weathering and erosion. The three rock groups are igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from melted rock that has cooled and solidified. They can form underground or above ground. Underground

The core is made mostly of iron and nickel and possibly smaller amounts of lighter elements including sulfur and oxygen. The core is about 4‚400 miles in diameter of Earth and about the size of Mars. The outmost 1400 miles of the core is liquid. Geologist believe the innermost part of the core about 1600 miles‚ is made of similar material as the outer core‚ but it is solid. The inner core is about 4/5 as big as Earth’s moon. It is estimated that the temperature in the deep interior is in fact thought

nor does it mention evolution. Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth - this plausible theory came from Charles Darwin a naturalist and geologist well known for his contributions to the science of evolution. I am aware some will be quick to say that evolution just like religion is also a theory but‚ so is gravity. I simply weight out the facts and the stories told of God creating our world
