In my paper I will be talking about article The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for life in the 21st century by Terry Mortenson. I will discussing the main points of the article along with the strengths and weaknesses. This article is a breakdown of a huge debate that has been going on for years. As I mention before this article is based on a debate that has been occurring for years. It is just another argument between the theories of the young- earth and Old-earth. A lot of the

The overview of the article, The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for Life in the 21st Century by Dr. Terry Mortenson, is the differing views between the Old-Earth and New-Earth beliefs. The main points given were that there were three views in the early 19th century: Catastrophists, Uniformitarians and scriptural geologists. “Catastrophists believed that several major floods destroyed a large percentage of living creatures and God replaced them with new living beings.

Project 2 The Glomar Challenger was a deep sea research and scientific drilling vessel for oceanography and marine geology studies. The JOIDES Resolution (Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling) is a scientific drilling ship. The JOIDES Resolution was the successor of Glomar Challenger. Both vessels would drill and take core samples at specific locations. The samples were used to determine the paleontologic and isotopic dating studies, thus providing conclusive

Victor Manevich 02/25/10 Geology 100 * What are Glomar Challenger and JOIDES Resolution? What do they do? The Glomar Challenger was the first research ship explicitly engineered to drill and collect core samples from the deep ocean floor. The JOIDES Resolution ship was engineered for the same purpose as the Glomar Challenger. The JOIDES Resolution was completed in the 1990s and has more advanced and precise technology than the Glomar Challenger, which was completed in the 1960s. The JOIDES

When I initially decided to take this geology course it was just to take a science class online that fit with my work schedule Now that I’m about to complete the semester I am ready to show just how much I learned. Sedimentary landforms are created by tiny particles of earth. These particles can be anything from stone to glass or tile. These particles are caused by weathering which is described as any natural force that breaks rocks into smaller pieces. The particles get washed away by rain, wind

Death Valley National Park The Death Valley National Park is located amid two states California and Nevada. The park is within an interface region in the middle of the arid Great Basin and Mojave deserts. It occupies over five thousand square miles hence possessing desert features such as salt-flats, sand dunes badlands along with valleys, gorges and mountains. It is also the hottest and driest park in the United States of America. Almost ninety five percent of the National Park is considered a

Geology Notes Origin of Planet Earth and Solar System: * Earth as a unique planet 1. Presence of a “hydrosphere”/ there’s liquid water/ makes life possible 2. Presence of a life supporting atmosphere/ there’s oxygen: not too much, not too little (too much oxygen results in fires) 3. Distance from the sun/ controls overall temperature of planet, Goldilocks Zone: not too hot, not too cold/ also controls composition of planet * Terrestrial Planets- Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid

Before I could start an outline I had to take the R.I.A.S.E.C interest assessment to see what career would be perfect for me based on my skills that I have. i am well-skilled in investagating problems and analyze them to slove these problems; it's often good for students who are good in math and science. I am even good with influencing and persuading others, such as an idea in science. A skill that I didn't realized that I had is being organized when being well-detailed and like to work with data
