essentially not changed today from those from the past which are unobservable. As present processes are thought to explain all past events‚ the Uniformitarian slogan is "the present is the key to the past". Uniformitarianism is a key principle of geology. My research will explain the theory of uniformitarianism and the work of many geologists such as Charles Lyell and James Hutton. To begin‚ one needs to understand that no serious scientific discussion of any topic should include supernatural explanations

the Earth is in a specific galaxy based upon the surrounding planets and stars. Using tools such as robots and telescopes deepen our understanding of the position of the Earth. Geology is the study of the Earth and humans also use geological tools to study how the earth was formed and how it has developed since. Through geology‚ humans can better understand what the Earth is comprised of from its mantle to the core. For example‚ the study of Earth can also lead to a better understanding of the formation

It is impossible to consider the geology of the Everglades without also considering the hydrology. Primarily consisting of limestone‚ the bedrock geology of Everglades National Park has responded over time to the ongoing processes of weathering‚ erosion‚ compaction of organic sediments‚ unique hydrologic conditions‚ and episodes of sea-level

Geology is the study of earth‚ which is where we live. Understanding geology and how it works‚ helps us understand how it affects us. We use up earths resources such as oil‚ coal‚ and minerals. Geology helps us understand volcanoes and earthquakes. We are able to track volcanoes and tectonic plates and be able to better predict disasters helping us
