Geological of the western interior during the Mesozoic Era Abstract The Mesozoic Era “the middle life” is the second major Era that lies between the Paleozoic Era and the Cenozoic Era. Geologist believe that this Era took place from 248 to 65 million years ago. The earth during this time was different from what we know today. The shape of the earth and life during this time period has changed dramatically. Starting with an overview of the Mesozoic Era and its subdivisions periods I will focus

It was as a result of these observations of other naturalists and geologists that Darwin began to formulate his theory of evolution known as "Natural Selectney. In his return‚ he was convinced that the earth was extremely old and its evolution was the result of many small changes. The reason why i picked Charles Darwin

There have been controversies about the origin of the Dal Lake. While some geologists believe that the origins of Dal Lake lie in the Pleistocene Oligotrophic Lake that once covered the entire valley of Kashmir‚ others just believe it to be a flood plain lake. The floating gardens of Dal Lake are considered a beauty in themselves

used by geologists‚ paleontologists‚ and other earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships between events that have occurred throughout Earth ’s history. The largest defined unit of time is the supereon‚ composed of eons. Eons are divided into eras‚ which are in turn divided into periods‚ epochs and ages. The terms eonothem‚ erathem‚ system‚ series‚ and stage are used to refer to the layers of rock that correspond to these periods of geologic time in earth ’s history. Geologists qualify

BACKGROUND Continental drift is a theory proposed by a scientist‚ Alfred Wegener in the twentieth century. The theory explained that all the continents was once joined as one‚ and through the course of millions of years‚ drifted apart from each other to form separate continents as we see it now. THEORY Before all the continents were separated‚ they existed as one supercontinent‚ Pangaea (Lovett‚ 2008)‚ surrounded by a super ocean‚ known as Panthalassa. Movement of continents can be compared to
