attributes (like Slope forms‚ weathering topographic profile)‚ landslide morphology‚ type of movement‚ triggering mechanism and the speed of the movement. Nepal is a country comprised of 83 precent hills and mountains‚ and steep terrain ‚ fragile geology‚ and seasonal monsoon rainfall contribute the landslide potential (Dhakal et al.‚ 2000). The construction of roads through the steep slope cutting has been another reason of the high landslides hazards along transportation line in Nepal. According

Examine how the geology and the geomorphological history have created the physical landscape of the Mendip hills. In this essay I will talk about how physical characteristics‚ such as the geology and geomorphology have formed the physical landscape of the Mendip hills. The geology of a particular area can determine the physical landscape‚ the strength and type of rock that is found in a particular area can determine its physical appearance due to the effects that the earths processes has upon them

the Christian view of causality through providence‚ and it asserted an absolute physicochemical and geological continuity. Though often confused with uniformity and uniformitarianism due to secular obfuscation‚ actualism‚ at root‚ is a method of geology that limits historical processes and events to observed present-day causes. Actualism fails as an absolute explanation of historical causality: it cannot be precisely defined‚ it surreptitiously assumes unjustified metaphysical positions‚ and its

science is the name for all the sciences that collectively seek to understand Earth and its neighbors in space. It includes geology‚ oceanography‚ meteorology‚ and astronomy. In this book‚ Units I-4 focus on the science of geology‚ a word that literally means “study of Earth.” Geology is traditionally divided into two broad areas: physical and historical. Physical geology examines the

Professor in my Geology 1 class‚ I theorized and argued to my sister that it may not have been a “miraculous” disaster which God created to vanish all the evil deeds and sinful persons on earth. Science is not yet done searching for what the people have to know about‚ that is why people still study‚ looking for answers to all our questions. And that studying the earth is pertinent for us to be aware and knowledgeable on what is going on around us. Lucky enough‚ I am taking a geology class with a geoscientist

Usually they include geology‚ geophysics‚ meteorology‚ climatology‚ oceanography‚ hydrology‚ biogeography‚ zoogeography‚ astronomy‚ and astrophysics. Some aspects of these subjects are covered in courses taught in junior high school and high school so that they will know the contributions of different scientists. Geology is the study of Earth‚ its rocks‚ and the changes that have occurred or are occurring in the planet

represents 80% of the Earth’s volume. The mantle consists mostly of molten rock called magma with a solid upper layer. A few gemstones form in the mantle‚ but all gems are mined in the crust. The crust is made up of three kinds of rock‚ known in geology as igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary rock. These technical terms refer to the way in which the rock is formed. Some gemstones are associated with one kind of rock in particular; others with several types. The igneous process involves the solidification

Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components
