Name of Scientist | Year/Date Discovered | Description of the Inventor | Nicolaus Copernicus(Astronomer) | 1473-1543 | proposed a model of the solar system that involved the Earth revolving around the sun. The model wasn't completely correct, as astronomers of the time struggled with the backwards path Mars sometimes took, but it eventually changed the way many scientists viewed the solar system. | Galileo Galilei(Astronomer) | 1564-1642 | he discovered the four primary moons of Jupiter (now

A Brief Outline of the Geophysical Properties of the Island of Gozo Introduction The geo-morphology of Gozo is one of its environmental assets. Through the span of time, geo-morphological processes generated different landforms that today embellish the island with its scenic beauty and rural character. Various geo-morphological processes have produced a varied surface landscape and coastline, restricted in accessibility where it controls the inhabitantsÕ lifestyle and their living.

National Museum of Natural History We are going to be exploring the Janet Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals. I decided to make the scavenger hunt fun and easy by starting off the first item in the beginning of the hall and in order all the way to the last item, which is located at the end of the hall. So as you walk you will find the items in order. As you enter the Janet Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals there will be an exhibit on space followed by an exhibit based on the

* What is Earth and Space science? * The study of the universe and its functions. * Types of Earth and Space sciences * Geology - The study of how the Earth’s materials, structures, processes, and organisms have changed over time. Geologists try to understand the history of our planet, by reading the physical structures and processes. Geologists study various forms of Earth formations such as: marine, sedimentology (rocks), pedology (soil), structural, and geomorphology (landforms)

tectonic model. B. To interpret rates and directions of plate movement C. To analyze data and associated geological processes & features. The theory of plate tectonics is a powerful and far-reaching theory encompassing many aspects of geology. The theory explains such diverse phenomena as mountain building on continents, the evolution of ocean basins, magma chemistry, the long-term migration of plants and animals, climatic change and the movement of continents.

Lesson 4 Address Geocoding Herbert Kennedy Geo483: Problem Solving with GIS This map shows the provided geocoded addresses from Part IV. As you can see, that majority of these addresses are located in areas that have soils with high Radon content. Based upon the distribution of roads throughout the region, it seems that the addresses and cluster of roads coincide with each other to suggest that these are highly populated areas. This means more pollution from cars and therefore the soils absorb

the idea and asked for the evidence of there being a land bridge. The rock types on each continent fit like pictures on a jigsaw. The continents were once joined together. He claimed continents moved slowly. However one of the key principles of geology was to ‘use the present to interpret the past’ and therefore because it was said that the continents were not moving in the present that they had not previously moved at all. They also questioned what force would be able to move the continent. http://www
