B. Van Arsdale and Randel T. Cox shed light on the mysterious Mississippi Embayment. They begin by explaining the origins of the horseshoe-shaped lowland that is underlain by massive quantities of sand‚ silt and mud deposits. They begin at what geologist call Pangea‚ which is when North America‚ South America‚ Africa and Eurasia came together to form one supercontinent. This collision raised several mountain ranges‚ including the Ouachita-Appalachian. Pangea is said to be ripped apart where it

In 2001‚ the Nisqually earthquake hit eastern Washington with a magnitude of 6.8‚ although Seattle was just on the border of the earthquakes reach. Recently‚ geologists have discovered that an earthquake with a magnitude as high as 7 occurred at the Seattle fault line over a thousand years ago. Houston lies on multiple faults known together as the Long Point Eureka Heights fault system. Houston however has no recorded

volcano poses many risks to communities. Even though Mount St. Helens erupted over 30 years ago we know that it is still an active volcano. Future eruptions can kill and injure entire communities. Since the eruption in May of 1980 of Mount St. Helens‚ geologists have come to a better understanding of both the mechanics of volcanoes and the dangers they present to the environment and communities. Did you know that volcanic ash is actually small glass particles? Or that the majority of volcanoes are submarine

Plate Tectonics Ever since the beginning on time‚ Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth‚ and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time‚ has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things‚ either in the past‚ present‚ or future. The study of Plate

objects can be treated in a similar way. This view point uses the scientific method and begins with facts which lead to a theory and a hypothesis. From this‚ an answer is concluded that becomes “law”. When developing this research‚ positivistic geologists will use quantitative methods to develop their theories‚ often also using a spatial analysis approach. The positivism way of collecting data is controversial because it challenges the regional approach to geography. They believe that the world exists

Coastal Erosion Coastal erosion is a naturally occurring phenomenon resulting from the continuous action of wind and water. Both act to remove small pieces of land from one location and deposit them elsewhere. Weather events such as hurricanes and nor’easters speed the erosion process‚ as do tidal waves. Currently‚ rising sea levels resulting from melting polar ice decrease available land as well. While erosion has always been a factor of coastal living‚ increasing populations along the worlds
