Geology of Co. Louth (Sedimentaryrock; Clogherhead) (Folds in the Clogherhead Formation.) Sedimentary Rocks: These rocks there are three basic categories of sedimentary rocks. Students should know how each type is formed and be able to give examples of each. Sedimentary rocks form in layers (bedding planes). The three groups of sedimentary rocks are: Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the surface of the earth. They develop in layers called strata these are formed by compressed sediments

Plate Tectonics: An Essay By: Grace Park Science 9 Mr. Achor 11-22-11 In the early 1900’s‚ scientists began to ask questions about the earth and it’s continents. Why are the same fossils found on opposite sides of the globe? Why do South America and Africa seem to fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle? Some scientists went to rather extreme measures to explain these strange phenomenons. Others took the time to come up with detailed theories

“Axel. Axel. Axel. Axel. Axel‚ what are you reading? Huh? Is it interesting?” Nicolas asks. “Yes‚” Axel responds. “Well then tell me what it’s about‚” Nicolas counters. “It is about geology‚” Axel answers. “Geology? Sounds kinda dumb.” Axel turned to Nicolas and gave him the look. No‚ not a look. The Look. To most people it just seemed like Axel was just staring at Nicolas with a slightly grumpy face. But Nicolas knew what it meant. “You have said something stupid.” “Sorry‚” says Nicolas

Since the dawn of man‚ humans have striven to explain the many mysteries of the universe‚ and to justify our existence in it. Throughout this journey of self-understanding‚ numerous standpoints on human existence have evolved and merged into a complex‚ abstract manifestation called religion. However‚ as the human race has grown and advanced itself‚ many ideas expressed by religion seem less and less plausible. Advances in science and technology have yielded a new breed of human thought that has

The discoveries suggest that humans are sharing the ancestor with the prehistoric fish. This theory sounds interesting to me since fishes don’t seem to have limbs‚ do they? It can be proved from the fossil record and the biology analysis. In the film‚ Your Inner Fish‚ the geologist showed the hand bone of human and the limb fossil of the prehistoric fish. After comparing‚ it is found that they are the same set of bones which just squashed to support different functions (Cook‚ Tate and Shubin‚ 2014)

He was one of the first scientists to theorize about the continental drift or continents in motion‚ which supports the belief that the Earth’s continents once were a single land mass. Wegener called this land mass‚ "Pangaea"‚ because the continents
