The alternations have been increasing more frequently and rapidly over the recent years due to natural process‚ but more dramatically from human industrialization processes (Shah‚ 2012). Expert scientists and geologists follow and record these changes over the past century and compare it to past temperatures and environment characteristics. From this‚ we are able to identify the underlying causes of global warming and ways to possibly slow the inevitable consequences

The possibility of a slipway on one of the tropical islands was rejected by many geologists that state that those rocks where there for no peculiar reason.

Environmental impact of mining The environmental impact of mining includes erosion‚ formation of sinkholes‚ loss of biodiversity‚ and contamination of soil‚ groundwater and surface water by chemicals from mining processes. In some cases‚ additional forest logging is done in the vicinity of mines to increase the available room for the storage of the created debris and soil. Besides creating environmental damage‚ the contamination resulting from leakage of chemicals also affect the health of the

For instance‚ our knowledge of a walrus is different from our knowledge of a triangle because a walrus differs from a triangle; and the knowledge a stonecutter has of a stone differs from the knowledge a geologist has of the same stone because each considers a different aspects of the stone. The things a science considers—that is‚ the things as they are in themselves together with all their attributes—constitute its material object. Many sciences can have
