My undergraduate degree is in Geophysical Sciences‚ which is a mixture of geology‚ mathematics‚ physics and chemistry. In the geological part of the degree‚ we were exposed to various kinds of geology practical skills‚ such as lab petrology‚ drawing stereonets‚ reading geological maps‚ describing rocks and minerals and so much more. Apart from geology‚ we were taught on how to solve mathematical problems that were relevant to the degree such as modelling environmental processes‚ physical motions

In 2010‚ a huge earthquake hit Haiti and almost flattened the tiny country. A year later‚ in 2011‚ an equally huge if not bigger earthquake hit Japan. Many people were affected in Japan but now the country is running smoothly again while Haiti’s poverty rates are still as a high as 80%. Why did these earthquakes have such different effects on these countries? The most significant reason these earthquakes had such different effects is the simple matter that Japan is just much more prepared than

Geo. 101 Ch1. Homogeneous Accretion Theory for the formation of the differentiated earth 1.Early Earth- uniform composition&density(mostly silicates) 2. Earth heated up to melt Iron&Nickel to create a core. Heated by meteorite impact‚ gravitational compression‚ &radioactive decay the iron/nickel weigh more than silicates so settled to earth’s center. 3. Earth was formed consisting of a dense iron-nickel core; an iron-rich silicate mantle and a silicate crust with continents emission of gases

GEOLOGY & CIVIL ENGINEERING As living creatures‚ the importance of understanding the earth we live in is paramount for our survival and development. Geology is the “scientific study of the origin‚ history and structure of the earth”. It involves understanding earth’s processes‚ materials and its effects on all forms of life. From earth elements such as rocks and mountains to natural phenomenon such as volcanoes and earthquakes‚ the field of geology encompasses a wide range of concepts fundamental

Caribbean Geology The oldest land areas of the modern Caribbean are at the extreme ends of the arc of islands in Cuba and Trinidad. The Greater Antillean islands have all had a somewhat similar geological history but they differ from one another in the distribution‚ form and erosion patterns of the limestones deposited during several phases of submergence and uplift through the Tertiary period and Pleistocene. Apart from sporadic unions between islands now separated by shallow seas‚ as within the

Geology Some people always wonder what geology is. Well‚ geology is the study of the earth. Geology also means what is in the earth such as rocks‚ mountains‚ and rivers. Not only that but also how things occur like earthquakes‚ hurricanes‚ and tornadoes. Geology is important to us because it helps us discover new things about the earth and help us predict when things are going to occur. Some careers in geology are paleontologist‚ geochemist and hydrologist. What is a paleontologist? A paleontologist
