The Sumerian and Biblical Floods: Different or the Same? “And then‚ a number of centuries later‚ God said‚ ‘No‚ no. Everything is crap; I will send a flood down. I will send a flood down across the world‚ because it’s all crap.’ He decided to do the etch-a-sketch end of the world‚ I think.” (Izzard) And that‚ no matter which story of this particular flood story you look at‚ seems to be the main objective‚ to‚ like a etch-a-sketch‚ start all over with a clean slate. While there are several differences

problems with his theory that geologists were quick to point out for one‚ Wegner had claimed “There contains a continental force that moves these continental blocks” but at this time there was no know mechanism capicule of driving continental drift this along with many other criticisms lead many to condemn his theory as impossible and was seldom ever taken seriously. However Wegners theory did not die out. It was carried on in the nineteen thirty’s and fifty’s by famous geologists like

Professor Radcliffe Geology 1 Lab Report December 10‚ 2012 Geology of the Caribbean Islands Have you ever wondered how the famous tropical land masses located in Central America‚ known as the Caribbean Islands‚ came to existence? Well geologists have dated some of the rocks in the islands such as‚ Cuba and Trinidad‚ as far back as the Jurassic time period. This means the rocks formed about 145-200 million years ago‚ therefore the eldest islands from the Caribbean date way back to the time

revised as our understanding improves. Geologists deal with time in two different ways: Relative Time - the occurrence of events is determined relative to one another (from oldest to most recent). This can be a local series of events or be applied to global events. The eras and periods of the geological time column were established using relative time (mostly based upon the fossil content). Absolute Time - The discovery of radiometric dating allowed geologists to assign a numerical age to the formation

This documentary film focuses on the drastic and gradual climate changes since the formation of the earth. The film starts with sky-touching mountains and hills of the northern hemisphere. Geologists believe that these mountains were topped with ice. However‚ the climate theories of geologists explain that our planet has undergone severe climate changes ranging from the heart-shivering ice cold to the body piercing scorching heat.

shoreline of Africa and the western shoreline of South America fit together like a piece of jigsaw puzzle‚ and when you align the continents at their continental shelves‚ their fit is even better” [ (Wegener‚ 2007) ]. When scientist and geologist began to traveler around the world‚ it was even more evident that Wegener’s theory of continental drift could be possible‚ because scientist had once thought that the continents had started off in their places‚ where they now lie. However‚ Wegener’s

become a spot for geologist to study and of great tourism. As you can see in the image below‚ the canyon has eighteen (18) different rocks layers and three (3) sets of rocks. At the very bottom it’s the Vishnu basement rocks that date back to approximately 1‚200 million years in age‚ which denotes the earliest rock sediment for the canyon in that area. At the very top is the Kailab limestone dating 270 million years ago. This limestone was actually formed under the ocean as geologists have discovered

new oceanic crust is created as large lumps of the Earth ’s crust split apart from each other and magma shafts up to fill the gap. Who discovered sea-floor spreading? The man who discovered sea floor spreading was Harry Hess. Harry Hess was a geologist. Part of his mission had been to study the deepest parts of the ocean floor. In 1946 he had discovered that hundreds of flat-topped mountains‚ perhaps sunken islands‚ shape the Pacific floor. After much thought‚ he proposed in 1960 that the movement
