Origin Of Species Straight Line
1,244 wordsEvolution is a fairly simple idea. A broad definition of it is Species change over time. Evolutionary theory is supported by a huge body of evidence, including the fossil record and observation of organisms alive today. That is the reason it is embraced by most mainstream scientists. Theologists, whose arguments are based totally on faith, base their theories on fiction not proven fact. Faith, being belief that isn't based on evidence, is the principal vice of any religion. And who, looking at N...

Cross Cutting Relationships Bottom Are Older Principle
733 wordster> The Fundamental Principles of Relative Dating Relative dating involves placing events in their proper chronological sequence, that is, in the order of their occurrence (Dutch 1998). This type of dating tells us which geologic event happened first, but does not give an exact date to which something happened. There are several different methods that are used in relative dating. These are the fundamental methods that are used in the field by geologists' and earth scientists to gather...

Layers Of Sediments Sedimentary Rock Sample
365 wordsSedimentary Rock The sample is a five-pound sedimentary rock. The rock is relatively flat and elongated, being around seven centimeters thick, forty five fifty centimeters long and about thirty centimeters wide. It feels quite light for its size and gives the impression that it is soft and fragile. The rock is mostly dark gray, although some bits are much lighter and seem to be out of place. You can also observe a large number of little shiny crystals that are embedded in the rock. Generally, th...

Coastal Plain Hudson River
1,539 wordsNew York s Geology The bedrock of the earth is made up of rock bodies that vary in size, shape, orientation, composition, color, and texture. These rocks makeup the bedrock, which is present everywhere. If one were to study a map of the bedrock from a vehicle point of view, they would find that patterns are made by eroded edges and surfaces of rock bodies that crop out of the state. Most rock bodies are originally tubular and horizontal. Deformations of these rock bodies occur over many years du...

Charles Darwin Nineteenth Century
990 wordsIn the Beginning The theory of evolution, formalized by Charles Darwin, is as much theory as is the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity. Evolutionary theory is a scientific theory dealing with scientific data, not a system of metaphysical beliefs or a religion (Wilkins). Biological theories, and especially evolution, unlike the theories of physics, have been argued long and hard in social and political arenas. Even today, evolution is often not taught in primary schools. However, evol...

Lava Flow Complex Dome And Lava Flow Complex Augustine
613 wordsSt. Augustine Volcano Augustine Volcano is the most frequently active and the youngest of the Cook Inlet volcanoes. Detterman considered Augustine to be entirely Quaternary and Johnston concluded that volcanism at Augustine began during the late Pleistocene Moosehorn glacial advance 19, 000 - 15, 500 IBP. Since its discovery by Captain James Cook in 1778, Augustine Volcano has had seven historical eruptions. 1883, 1935, 1979, 1985, 1986, and 1987. Yount and others, 1987. The activity in 1908, re...
