Geomorphology is practiced within physical geography‚ geology‚ geodesy‚ engineering geology‚ archaeology and geotechnical engineering‚ this broad base of interest contributes to many research styles and interests within the field. The surface of Earth is modified by a combination of surface processes that sculpt landscapes

several topics in structural geology. I have had both lecture/lab and field courses in structural geology‚ as well as a short module dealing with plate tectonics‚ and I am very interested in the whole area. I would like to explore structural geology and tectonics further at the graduate level. I am also interested in learning more about geophysics. I plan to focus on all these areas in graduate school while at the same time continuing to build up my overall knowledge of geology. My ultimate academic

Prior to beginning this Introductory Geology course‚ I had a minute amount of knowledge regarding the formation of our Earth‚ rocks‚ rivers‚ channels‚ and other unique geographical entities and formations. In this inspiring article‚ David Montgomery presents a surprising perspective on Noah’s Flood and how the mystery of the Bible’s greatest story helped shape geology and the formation of our Earth. During chapter one‚ also known as "Buddha’s Dam‚" Montgomery visited Tibet‚ where he found flat-topped

2013 Mrs. Giesel The Diary of James Hutton Dear Diary‚ It is the summer of 1754 and I have moved to a piece of farm land that I’ve inherited from my late father. I am now a farmer and even though I do not have a degree in geology‚ I have decided to study geology as I am farming.(About 2013). As I observe the land‚ there are many things I have discovered about the Earth. It is believed the Earth came into existence on October 22‚ 4004 B.C. I now believe the Earth is being formed. I have recognized

“EARTH HISTORY” Geologic Time: Geology needs a time Scale: -The prime goal of the science of geology‚ is to interpreting earth history. Geological time scale- -Anordered‚internallyconsistent‚ internationally recognized sequence of time intervals‚ and record the life of Earth. Short history of geology: James Ussher(mid 1600s)- he determined that earth was only a few thousands of years old having been created in 4004 b.c Catastrophists(17-18cen.)-believed that earth landscape had been developed

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
