According to Wegener‚ a geologist stated that segments of the Earth has made continental drift true (possible) whilst other pieces of information supported that continental drift has happened and is happening. 1. Geological Similarity The geology in terms of rocks‚ plants and animals‚ ice-shapes‚ and the outline of the land matches. To begin with‚ the rocks in the eastern coastline of South America and the rocks in the western

Geophysics was not of my passion when I was young or rather I did not know what Geophysics is and when I grow-up and completed high school I began to know what Geology means. I then started study it and read more about it which inferred from my interest to know and discover the wealth that is available underground. Accordingly‚ I have decided to join the Faculty of Earth Science to learn and study the discipline and master it. I now have completed a B.Sc. at King Abdulaziz University in FALL 2010

Introduction The Forest Hill Formation is a geological area that mainly stretches from west-central to southeastern Mississippi‚ but thins right at the border of and barely touches Clarke County‚ Alabama (Echols‚ et al.‚ 1893). Geologist Ephraim Nobel Lowe originally proposed the name Madison Sands for this formation‚ due to the fact that he had studied it in Madison County‚ Mississippi. The name was later changed to Forest Hill by Charles Wythe Cooke. The Forest Hill Formation overlies the Red

Continental Drift It takes a lot of courage to stand up for something you believe in‚ especially when faced with intense amounts of scrutiny and rejection from colleagues and peers alike. But this is exactly what Alfred Wegener experienced when he advanced the unthinkable thoughts that all continents were once upon a time‚ all part of one massive supercontinent. He battled through the adversity‚ and continued to collect sources and ideas that backed his thinking. The purpose of this paper is

Geology 1203 Earth history Assignment: relative time Preamble: Understanding Earth history involves determining the sequence of geologic events which occurred over immense spans of time. The geological time scale that we use today was first developed in the 1800’s and is constantly being revised as our understanding improves. Geologists deal with time in two different ways: Relative Time - the occurrence of events is determined relative to one another (from oldest to most recent). This
