Damian James 2/5/14 Science 200 Short Answers 1. According to the church‚ the age of the earth was 6‚000 years old. 2. James Hutton discovered that the earth was much older from the tilted rocks because he knew these rocks was once laid down horizontally on the sea floor and were buried under great depth to be crystalized. Then they were tilted on end by great

will increase global warming in these countries causing the sea level to rise all around the world. Here is how the climate has been changing in the Arctic. This evidence of this change includes a rise in temperatures which causes the melting of glaciers‚ sea ice‚ and permafrost. The increase in melt water results in the rising of the sea level. Over the current century‚ there are four major changes that are expected to occur. First of all‚ the average temperature is supposed to increase by 3 to

Adaptations Living organisms need a supply of materials from their surroundings and from other living things so they can survive and reproduce successfully. What they need depends on the type of organism: 1) Plants need light‚ carbon dioxide‚ water‚ oxygen and nutrients to produce glucose energy in order to survive.

Geothermal heat is contributing to the melting of Thwaites Glacier. If the Thwaites Glacier was to collapse it could cause a significant rise in sea level between three to six

‘The extent to which volcanic processes represent hazards depends on where and when they occur’. Discuss this statement A hazard can be defined as a situation that poses a threat to life‚ health‚ property or the environment. The severity and type of volcanic hazards that occur are mainly dependent on the type of magma. Volcanic processes can be split into two categories – primary hazards and secondary hazards. The primary hazards that can occur are pyroclastic flows‚ lava flows‚ tephra and poisonous
