Environmental science is a multidisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences‚ (including but not limited to ecology‚ physics‚ chemistry‚ biology‚ soil science‚ geology‚ atmospheric science and geography) to the study of the environment‚ and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science provides an integrated‚ quantitative‚ and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems. Environmental

Geology 1203 Earth history Assignment: relative time Preamble: Understanding Earth history involves determining the sequence of geologic events which occurred over immense spans of time. The geological time scale that we use today was first developed in the 1800’s and is constantly being revised as our understanding improves. Geologists deal with time in two different ways: Relative Time - the occurrence of events is determined relative to one another (from oldest to most recent). This

material‚ a definition that is different from the way we defined a mineral back in Chapter 2. Here the word mineral can be any substance that comes from the Earth. Finding and exploiting mineral deposits requires the application of the principles of geology that you have learned throughout this course. Some minerals are used as they are found in the ground‚ i.e. they require no further processing or very little processing. For example - gemstones‚ sand‚ gravel‚ and salt (halite). Most minerals must be

Uniformitarianism was formulated by Scottish naturalists in the late 18th century: James Hutton – a geologist‚ started Uniformitariansim John Playfair – refined James Hutton’s work Charles Lyell – a British Lawyer and foremost Geologist‚ popularised Uniformitarianism through his book entitled “Principles of Geology” in 1830.
