ESS 101 Midterm Review 1. You should be familiar with the formation of the Earth and Solar System. What evidence is used to support the contention that the solar system formed from a rotating nebular dust cloud? 2. How does the earth become compositionally zone? You should have knowledge of the 6 evolutionary stages that show how the earth could evolve from a "homogeneous mixture of primordial dust (planetesimals) to the compositionally zoned planet containing an Fe-Ni core‚ Fe-Mg silicate

How has society responded to coastal changes initiated by sand transportation‚ and have these responses been wise environmentally and economically? What do you do when mid-latitude cyclones get larger‚ strong frontal winds are more frequent‚ and waves and currents get stronger? How can we control high waves and storm surges that drive more sediment transport‚ permanently changing the coast? Coastal dunes‚ of all shapes and sizes‚ are are dense enough to prevent rapid and significant changes

communities that will not expose people to these dangerous events. Many different sciences are used to learn about the earth‚ however‚ the four basic areas of Earth science study are: geology‚ meteorology‚ oceanography and astronomy. Geology - The primary Earth science. The word means "study of the Earth". Geology deals with the composition of Earth materials‚ Earth structures‚ and Earth processes. It is also concerned with the organisms of the planet and how the planet has changed over time. Geologists

know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic Field models are used in navigations‚ Geophysical Surveys‚ Oil production and in scientific studies ranging from the upper atmosphere to the earth’s deep interior. The math which is required with geology can be written down as Algebra‚ Geometry‚ trigonometry‚ Calculus‚ Linear Algebra

The branch of science dealing with the physical constitution of the earth and its atmosphere. Any of several essentially geologic sciences that are concerned with the origin‚ structure‚ and physical phenomena of the earth.

volcano can cover animals and plants killing them at the same time. Geology is the study of the Earth‚ the materials of which it is made‚ the structure of those materials‚ and the processes acting upon them. It is also the study of organisms that have inhabited our planet. An important part of geology is the study of how Earths materials‚ structures‚ processes and organisms have changed over time. Fossils are linked to geology because‚ it is the study on how the world has build up over the years

human and physical factors which contribute to impacts from mass movements. Slope failure can be triggered by many physical factors. It is the nature of the slope which determines whether it will be vulnerable to mass movements. For example‚ the geology of the rock which composes the slope is an important physical factor. If the particles of rock and soil are un-cohesive and unconsolidated‚ it means that they are more likely to break away and fall down under the force of gravity. As well as this
