Do you have a geography assignment that needs you to know about the core of the Earth? Well if you do‚ watching the movie The Core is definitely not the place to find out about this information. The movie is inaccurate about a variety of things such as the formation of the mantle‚ the location of certain places on earth‚ the temperature of the earths interior and so on. The Core also shows many unrealistic events‚ such as the earth loosing its magnetic field in a year and lasers being able to burn

Explain the operation of the rock cycle with reference to the geology in Hong Kong. To what extent are the rock types responsible for the deep weathering profile in the territory? Hong Kong is dominated by igneous rocks which granite takes up the largest proportion of 85% of the total land area. The remaining area is underlain by sedimentary rocks superficial deposits mainly in the North West area. Other than the above rock types‚ there still a kind of rock which covers only a small area of Hong

The Grand Canyon Formation A literature research report for Earth Science 1/Mon-Wed Fall 2013 by Guadalupe Andrade‚ Eduardo Osorio Maria Romero‚ and Yesenia Terriquez Abstract The Grand Canyon is a sided mountain carved by the Colorado River. The origin of the Grand Canyon is tied down to the tectonic erosion of the Colorado Plateau. The formation of the Grand Canyon is a big mystery. What we can say‚ is that its rock layers give us clues of how tectonic erosion occurred

The Oregon Coast Range is composed of accreted oceanic sediments. The oldest rocks were formed during the Paleocene to the middle of the Eocene era. The rocks are gently folded and have a slight westward dip. As we walked out onto the Jetty‚ you could see how the waves came in at a slight angle rather than directly at the coast. Most of the rocks (particularly the smaller hand held size rocks) were jagged and triangular looking. This told me that these rocks came from a relatively close proximity

major in Earth Sciences because of my passion for meteorology‚ astronomy‚ and geology. From a young age I realized I was interested in the weather and wanted to learn as much as I could about it. My interest in astronomy and geology did not begin until my 11th and 12th grade years of high school. It was when I took classes over them that I realized I am interested in them too. Although my interest in astronomy and geology only started recently I am no less dedicated to learning about them as I am with
