One huge factor that cannot be anticipated‚ and often causes drastic effects on the economy‚ are geologic disasters. The state of California is notorious for having earthquakes that shake up the state quite often and leave

examine. Relative dating doesn’t give one an exact date but can give a good time frame of an artifact. It is used by looking at sequences and layers with regards to the soil for excavating. This is known as stratigraphy (Bahn‚122). It was inspired by geology in looking at layers of soil (Dating Archeology‚ 2016). As an archeologist using this method‚ one would say‚ “the underlying layer was deposited first and therefore‚ earlier then overlying layer”(Bahn‚ 122). In simple terms‚ the digger one deeps

A radical energy technology is one that is not classed as “business as usual” and takes a different approach‚ such as renewable resources‚ for instance using solar cell technology instead of traditional fossil fuels. It could be a wide range of different technologies‚ including nuclear‚ wind‚ and other fuels. A policy regarding energy or energy consumption reduction could be a target to reduce consumption over the next decades‚ such as seen in the Kyoto protocol. It could also be more local or

comprehend why Wegner was not insane and how reliable his work is to this very day. Wegener was convinced that all of Earth’s continents were once part of an enormous‚ single landmass called Pangaea. To describe continental drift & pangea‚ Wegner used geology‚ biology‚ and ecology; even though he was initially trained as an astronomer. Pangaea existed about 240 million

What is Remote Sensing? Remote sensing‚ in simplest words‚ means acquiring information about an object without touching the object itself. Conventionally‚ however remote sensing has come to imply that the sensor and the target are located remotely apart and the electromagnetic radiation serves as a link between the sensor and the object‚ the sun being the major source of energy illuminating the earth. The part of this energy is reflected‚ absorbed and transmitted by the surface. A sensor records

The study of environmental science includes physical sciences like geology and physics‚ along with biology and topics such as meteorology. Some people are also interested in socialscience topics so that they can more effectively study human interactions with the environment and topics like the history of human societies

most desirable condition. The cell values of all continuous numerical sub-criteria (e.g. slope‚ soil salinity and unsaturated zone depth) were rescaled using fuzzy linear membership functions. For categorical layers (e.g. soil texture‚ land use and geology) the categories were first grouped into classes according to their potential for aquifer recharge. Then‚ they were pair-wise compared using Saaty matrix (Gomez and Barredo‚ 2005). The resulting values were rescaled linearly
