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

streamlined motion of the glacier from southern Africa and Northern Australia outward. Why was the idea of continental drift not initially accepted by many other scientists and the general public at the time? Since his ideas challenged scientists in geology‚ geophysics‚ zoogeography and paleontology‚ it demonstrates the reactions of different communities of scientists. The reactions by the leading authorities in the different disciplines was so strong and so negative that serious discussion of the concept

Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components

Usually they include geology‚ geophysics‚ meteorology‚ climatology‚ oceanography‚ hydrology‚ biogeography‚ zoogeography‚ astronomy‚ and astrophysics. Some aspects of these subjects are covered in courses taught in junior high school and high school so that they will know the contributions of different scientists. Geology is the study of Earth‚ its rocks‚ and the changes that have occurred or are occurring in the planet

mining operation is its geology. Geology can be classified as either physical or historical geology. Physical geology is the study of Earth materials‚ operating as minerals and rocks‚ as well as the processes operating within Earth and on its surface (Monroe‚ 2001). Geology influences the strength of the rocks‚ the ability to process the given deposit with existing processing techniques and stability of excavation made in the mineral deposit. This emphasizes the importance of geology to mining operations
