Angela Jenkins Professor Gleason Physical Geology October 19‚ 2016 Sir Charles Lyell It is impossible to discuss the history of geology‚ without talking about Sir Charles Lyell. He made his mark in a big transitioning moment for the science. The change from catastrophism to uniformitarianism shook the geological world. His work is held with very high esteem‚ and many of his ideas are still practiced in research today. Sir Charles Lyell was born November 14‚ 1797 and lived until February 22‚ 1875

ESS 101 Midterm Review 1. You should be familiar with the formation of the Earth and Solar System. What evidence is used to support the contention that the solar system formed from a rotating nebular dust cloud? 2. How does the earth become compositionally zone? You should have knowledge of the 6 evolutionary stages that show how the earth could evolve from a "homogeneous mixture of primordial dust (planetesimals) to the compositionally zoned planet containing an Fe-Ni core‚ Fe-Mg silicate
