archaeology “is the study of the past environment of [humans]” (Evans 1978) with the primary goal of defining characteristics and processes of the biophysical environment in relation to socioeconomic systems. Environmental archaeology incorporates biology, geology, and climate sciences with applied archaeological investigations. “People are a part of ecosystems, and the role of the biophysical environment in offering challenges and opportunities to them is fundamental” (Evans and O’Connor 1999).

space. It includes geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. Meteorology: is the study of the atmosphere and the processes that produce weather and climate. Geology: the study of Earth. Geology is traditionally divided into two broad areas; physical and historical Oceanography: involves the application of all sciences in a comprehensive and interrelated study of the oceans in all their aspects and relationships. Oceanography integrates chemistry, physics, geology, and biology.

plate is being stretched or torn apart, this creates a rift valley. A new ocean may form in the widening rift. A good example of this is when the Red Sea formed. Where oceanic crust is splitting apart, the result is a midocean ridge. (Physical Geology, 2005). The earthquakes that happen at midocean ridges are shallow and indicate that plates are moving apart. The plates move apart at a divergent margin, the high pressure is released, allowing the mantle rock to melt. The lava flows up into the

Imperial College in London in 1907. Then when he was in college he then started to read about physics. He then after he was in Imperial college changed his colleges and started to go to Royal College of science and got his first degree ever , it was in geology. One of the main science contributions he made was that he found out how old the earth is. Some he used to find and do his research was a technique called radioactive dating which helped him find out how old certain rocks and minerals were. Arthur

Fossils are among the most highly prized natural objects in the world. Paleontology has its roots in two subjects: geology and biology. Geology and paleontology are intimately linked. In geology, fossils are important in piercing together rock successions from the same time interval across the globe, and in interpreting the nature of ancient sedimentary environments. Fossils are also unrivalled as stratigraphical tool. The process of evolution acts as an irreversible clock in which the appearance

Grand Canyon is a place that’s incredible and well known showplace of geology due to all the artificial display of layered rocks. The Grand Canyon is approximately 5 to 6 million years old. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446km) long, 10 to 18 miles wide and the South rim is 6,000 feet deep and the North is 8,000 feet deep as well and being higher in elevation. The channels were cut through layer after layer of a rock while the Colorado Plateau was being uplifted caused by the process of the crustal

hand down any new school laws to generations to come in the next following years. Theoretical Background Flood geology (also creation geology or diluvial geology) is the interpretation of the geological history of the Earth in terms of the global flood described in Genesis 6–9. Similar views played a part in the early development of the science of geology, even after the Biblical chronology had been rejected by geologists in favor of an ancient Earth. Modern flood geologists

a mission designed to get humans to Mars by 2027. There will be lots of issues facing the crew though, and one such issue is the geology of the Red Planet. We have reason to believe that the geology is a prime concern and a reason that the mission should not take place. Mars’ geology is much different than Earth’s and consists of lots of obstacles and problems. Geology should make the Mars One mission a no-go because of the danger of volcanoes, the planet’s radiation, the lack of flat ground and
