The Earth’s structure The crust is the surface of the earth; it is a rock layer forming the upper part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is split into tectonic plates. The plates move slowly on a layer called the asthenosphere. Meteorites can tell us what the earth is like-these are rock and metal fragments which fall to earth from space. We know the earth’s core is hot through hot spring geezers and volcano lava. 2 types of crust OCEANIC CRUST: it is found under the oceans; it’s thin and

difference between the theories of Plate tectonics and Continental drift. * Continental drift: The movement‚ formation‚ or re-formation of continents described by the theory of plate tectonics. * Plate tectonics: A theory that explains the global distribution of geological phenomena such as seismicity‚ volcanism‚ continental drift‚ and mountain building in terms of the formation‚ destruction‚ movement‚ and interaction of the earth’s lithospheric plates.

The physical sciences are a massively diverse discipline. Within the context of the physical sciences‚ one might explore a wide range of phenomena‚ utilizing a wide range of differing methodologies and theoretical perspectives. For instance‚ the same discipline that emphasizes the study of organisms‚ their function‚ and interaction with the ecosystem in the field of biology‚ may also emphasize the study of the earth itself and natural geological processes in the field of earth science

(Murck‚ et al.‚ 2008) In addition‚ the way the plate tectonics move‚ can significantly affect sedimentation and the formation of sedimentary rocks. There are three main types of sedimentary rocks which are classified by the source of the sediments. They are clastic‚ biogenic‚ and chemical sedimentary

Knights in Medieval Europe Knights were the most advanced fighting unit of the Middle Ages. Developed mainly by Charles Martel‚ they were horsemen‚ armored and carrying swords. By definition‚ a Knight was a mounted warrior in the service of his liege-lord (Snell‚ "Defining the Knight"‚ Knight Life‚ Internet). He they would generally receive a fief in exchange for their services. But Knights also became important as a symbol of honor‚ nobility (in the moral sense of the word)‚ and loyalty towards
