Hundreds of Mysterious Tunnels Were Discovered in Brazil…Experts Are Amazed and Confused! Hundreds of mysterious tunnels that are older than 10 thousand years were discovered in Brazil. On the walls of these amazing tunnels there are mysterious claw marks. According to geologists‚ there are not known geological processes that can create such long tunnels with elliptical and circular cross sections that rise‚ fall and branch. Moreover‚ there are no tunnels that have claw marks on their walls. There

My journal entry began when I started learning about the eras of geologic time like the Paleozoic‚ Mesozoic‚ and Cenozoic eras. Although the various time periods were all very interesting‚ I found the Paleozoic era to be the most fascinating.’Paleo’ means ancient or way early times in Greek and therefore Paleozoic means ancient life. This era was divided into six major parts. These parts are named the Cambrian‚ Ordovician‚ Silurian‚ Devonian‚ Carboniferous‚ and Permian periods. The Ordovician period

“How the Earth was Formed” video notes: Theory: -sun was surrounded by a cloud of dust and gas -as cloud cooled little grains of minerals started forming -grains of minerals started bumping into each other (Problem was nobody could explain how these microscopic minerals formed a planet) Then in 2003 astronaut Don Pettit performed an experiment onboard the international space station. He put some salt in a plastic bag and found that almost immediately the grains started gathering together into little

Landslide Case study- La Canchita La Conchita is a very small community‚ located on the southern California coastline between Ventura and Santa Barbara. The community lies on a narrow strip of land about 250 meters (820 feet) wide between the shoreline and abutting a 180-meter (590 ft) high bluff. The top of the bluff is covered by avocado and citrus orchards. The bluff above La Conchita has a slope of approximately 35 degrees and consists of poorly cemented marine sediments On March 4‚ 1995

Did you know that one day in the past the continents were connected with each other? Continental drift states that the continents that we know today were once one large landmass called‚ Pangea. Many people argue with the theory about the continental drift‚ because no one yet has proven to the theory’s idea. Many people have been trying to find ways of how the continental drift could have happen‚ by researching objects from the past. This gave scientist or people another point of view about the continental
