AGE OF THE EARTH Scientists have settled on the age of the earth of about 4.6 billion years as a result of research started almost 50 years ago. This conclusion was based upon carefully designed and conducted experiments that compared the ratios in rock samples of parent elements to daughter elements ( some of which would have been from radioactive decay of the parent‚ some of which may have been present in the sample at the time of formation). Since radioactive decay is known to occur at a constant

“EARTH HISTORY” Geologic Time: Geology needs a time Scale: -The prime goal of the science of geology‚ is to interpreting earth history. Geological time scale- -Anordered‚internallyconsistent‚ internationally recognized sequence of time intervals‚ and record the life of Earth.

Dynamic Earth Has the Earth been static since the beginning of time? Well‚ Earth hasn’t been moving vigorously but it is changing at a steady rate. New geological features‚ rock formations‚ and locations of plates all rise and demolish some in a lifetime and others over a span of millions of years. Earth is dynamic; it constantly progresses and doesn’t rest. Through the churns and molds‚ the twists and turns‚ Earth is active because of plate tectonics and the rock cycle. The ideas

Elaina Samelo 5th Block Ritzus The Good Earth The Good Earth‚ written by Pearl S. Buck‚ is a book about the political and social struggles of China. Since this book was published in 1931‚ the somewhat old-fashioned style of writing reveals the era of which it was written. Although it is apparent through the writing that this book is a little older‚ it has a charm that only older books can possess. It is one of the things that actually kept my attention; the old-fashioned charm. The publishing

August 8‚ 2013 Peopling of the Earth The earliest full human species known today lived in East Africa about 2.5 million years ago. Early humans survived by hunting and gathering. With an economy based on hunting and gathering‚ there is a great deal of space needed for just a small community. Before migrating majorly‚ they migrated to the Levant‚ in about 25‚000 years ago a global freeze happened and it wiped them out completely. They would then later end up migrating to the Middle East from Africa
