Comparative Essay on Uniformitarianism and Catastrophism Dennis Jacobson L22609506 Professor Dr. Travis Bradshaw PHSC 210 Submitted December 10, 2012 Introduction The debate over Uniformitarianism and Catastrophism has been going on for decades. Uniformitariasm holds to the belief that certain processes that are happening today, have happened at the same rate in the past.(1) This has a profound impact on the dating of the Earth

Uniformitarianism or Catastrophism Uniformitarianism is a geological doctrine. States the current geologic processes, occurring at the same rates observed today, in the same manner, account for all the Earth’s geological features. Meaning it assumes that geological processes are essentially unchanged today from that of the past, and that there have no catastrophic events in the earth’s history. The present processes are thought to explain all past events, with the slogan “the present is the

Fossil fuels consist of petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of living organisms that lived on the planet Earth millions of years ago. Petroleum is created from the remains of sea creatures that are the size of a pin head called Diatoms. Diatoms store energy from converted sunlight. The diatoms fell to the bottom of the ocean and were covered by sediment and layers of rock. The pressure and heat from the other layers of rock and sediment caused

The Rock Cycle Thesis: * The rock cycle is a continuous process that occurs over millions of years. It makes new rock, destroys old rock, and recycles the ingredients of the Earth's crust over and over again! Rocks come in cool colors, shapes, textures, and sizes and are found all around you, but how much do you really know about them? What is a Rock? * Simply put a rock is a group of minerals bound together. * Can consist of largely one mineral or several minerals. 3 Types

Journey To the Center of the Earth Raft R:Scientist A:Self F:Diary T:Outside to Inside Day 1 I started up the drillX5000 the newest model of drill I have made to dig to the center of the earth to learn more about it. This is a secret mission and I am prepared for failure. I am starting at the thinnest point of the crust under water that is only about five miles deep. As a scientist I know I have five more miles to go before I hit the mantle and the water will evaporate and then I can start

In Lab 2, we studied the Earth’s crust and the processes that it goes through over times which relates to the theory of plate tectonics, as well as boundaries, hotspots, and forces. We begin with the PLate Tectonic Theory which developed along with many other theories to describe the world’s processes and common natural occurrences. In the theory, it describes how the Earth’s lithosphere is divided up into many different plates that push and pull which affects the creating of many of the Earth’s

Night time in space It is very easy to get busy up here and forget to “stop and smell the roses” as it were. (I think that is probably true for all of us everywhere!) So after dinner and before bedtime tonight I finally stopped and took a moment to watch the world go by during a night pass. It seems like it has been a while since I have done this. There are always excuses…other things that have to get done, e-mails to write, feet to warm up, too tired, there is always another day...blah, blah
