Engage in easy conversation about geologic hazards to earn added science discussion credit! Students may earn participation credit for posting: (1) a mini report that provides an answer to a posted question, or (2) a mini report followed by a relevant geology question. This is an all-semester long project. Students may post anytime between 1 February and 3 May. Students are NOT required to tune in […]

 Search your state’s geological survey data banks on what you find about your state’s geology and climate data.  For example; in Ohio, the state’s geological survey is listed with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. You may need to do a little research to find where your state’s data banks are located to find this information. I have included a link that will help you […]

I have archeology work that have some requirements that will be attached in word file. The work should be only photos, maps and really short paragraphs for every photo or map. The information should relate to the photos and the maps. Also, information should be easy to understand with basic language format. make it easy, clear and understandable. photos and maps should be no lees […]

There are a LOT of Geology documentaries out there and you can help me sort through them. Find a documentary that is about Geology and related to the material in this class. Watch the documentary and write a review of the documentary that is at least 350 words. Give me your own personal thoughts on it and tell me if you learned anything new. Also, […]

One of the most important general abilities of any geoscientist is their ability to read, interpret, and generate questions about written materials. The ability to then research and find answers is imperative. You will read the book Basin and Range included in the anthology Annals of the Former Worldby John McPhee. You will identify three aspects of the reading that relate to sedimentary geology to […]

 Need a 6 page academic paper with 4 sources APA style discussing the origin of volcanoes, where they take place, how and why.  Does human activity have an affect on how and why volcanoes they erupt. Discuss the other weather conditions and natural disasters volcanoes cause. Talk about lava, and ash from the volcano the benefits, and the dangers.  Explain the volcanoes along the cost […]

The geological history of Earth and the history of life on Earth are intricately intertwined. Earth would be a very different place today if life had not evolved on Earth, and at the same time geological events have greatly affected the course that evolution has taken on Earth. Considering these statements, how likely is it that that astronomers will eventually discover life on other planets? […]

 Scientists are telling us that Human Civilization may be coming down – collapsing – because people are obliterating Earth’s environments and its natural resources.  Humans, even if they are lawyers or doctors, may know too little about Earth and this ignorance creates a problem.  Scientists are now informing the world about the sixth mass extinction, sea level rise, climate change, deforestation, coral reef bleaching, water and […]

In a 2-page paper (double spaced – 12pt font) research the rich Geological History of how the Appalachian Mountains were built and eroded away over the past ≈500 million years.  Provide detail into how the Gap itself formed (specifically from what geological time period & process) and how the layers in the photo below depict the differences that are seen now-a-days and how they relate […]

The rock samples you encountered while completing this exercise are called hand samples because you can pick them up with your hand and study them. You can also easily examine hand samples with a hand lense, test them for hardness and reactivity to HCI, and feel and heft them. However, some characteristics of each rock group are so diagnostic that you can observe them at […]
