... In the 1950s two scientists, Miller and Urey, investigated the origin of life on Earth. Miller and Urey used the gases that they believed were in the Earth’s early atmosphere and used water to represent the oceans. The gases they used were methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2).

Can Ocean Tides Drive the Continents?

This can only be approximated by analyzing the asymmetries over an appropriate period of time, adding the secular ...

Earthquakes: Tremors from Below
... Around five million people are affected by earthquakes every year - so it's not surprising that people want to know when the next big one will hit. But earthquakes are unpredictable. That's because there's no way to tell exactly when the rocks will snap from stress that builds up as the plates move. ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
