The relation between geology and medicine is quite intriguing and can be dated back to the times of Hippocrates and Aristotle. For centuries man has looked up to Earth for the numerous answers he seeks concerning his own body, an amalgamation of elements once sheathed in Earth. To his surprise man has found that geology is both a poison and remedy to his health. In my paper I present the two sides of the geologic coin in the world of medicine. The rocks below our feet can be deemed culprit for

Chapter 1 3. Uniformitarianism has scientifically proven that geological processes have been nearly unchanged from the past. Catastrophic events that once impacted the Earth still have the potential to repeat itself due to the observable geological features and geological processes that still act in the same manner. Since natural events that have been proven to repeat themselves, the tendency for ongoing natural disasters will always be a major concern. 5. Geological processes still maintain

Geology Assignment #3 1.) A.) The artificial quartz is very similar to the real quartz; it is only slightly different in my opinion. From what I could see in the video I watched they have the same horizontal shape as the real quartz possesses. B.) They are very interlocking to mean that they have very minimal space between the grains. 2.) A.) The most interesting geologic location to see folded rock up close is the Alps in Europe. B.) The Alps were formed because of a collision

Introduction: Every aspect of our surroundings, everything we witnessed at the two sites that we visited and everything geologically related can be tied together with a few simple concepts. A central component of those simple concepts is known as the Wilson Cycle. The Wilson Cycle has a massive impact on not only the two sites that we visited, but literally everywhere around the world. By understanding the principles of the Wilson Cycle, we are able to unearth details about a location such as
