Geological Forces that Shape the Earth Diastrophism Defined: • Comes from the Greek word meaning a “twisting” deformation of the Earth’s crust. All processes that move‚ or elevate or build up portions of the Earth’s crust comes under this. • Diastrophism covers movement of solid (plastic) material‚ as opposed to movement of molten material which is covered by volcanism. • The most obvious evidence of diastrophic movement can be seen where sedimentary rocks have been bent‚ broken or tilted.

1. Make a simple drawing of Earth’s three major zones. Describe the composition of the zones. Briefly explain the internal process of plate tectonics and the external geological process of erosion. ● Continental Plates (Crust)- consists of the continental crust‚ and the oceanic crust ● Mantle- solid rock‚ but under its rigid outermost part is a zone of very hot‚ partly melted rock that flows like soft plastic. The plastic is asthenosphere. ● Core- is very hot and has a solid inner part‚ surrounded

Handout 1: Questions for Triumph of the Will by Leni Riefenstahl (1934/35) 1. Why does this film begin with a view of the clouds from the cockpit of an airplane? What might this image symbolize?

Geology 270 When it comes to choosing classes for a semester I always try to choose an enjoyable class. One where I know I will not have to stress over tests and homework. Last semester was weight training. This semester as I was browsing I stumbled upon a class titled Geology 270. This class caught my attention right away. I looked at the course description and read it. The thing that stood out the most was that in this class we would study the geology of the eastern Sierra Nevada in one of the

REACTION PAPER 1. Terraforming Mars Terraforming is the process of transforming a hostile environment into one suitable for human life. Being that Mars is the most Earth-like planet‚ it is the best candidate for terraforming. At the rate that the human population is growing‚ it is already evident that we are overpopulating earth‚ and with no signs of the population increase slowing‚ it is obvious that we are going to need to find new living arrangements. Where are we to find more space? The
