1. The author and his colleagues wanted to use 375 million old rock, because in the 385 million year old rocks they found what look like fish. In the 365 million year old rocks they found amphibians that did not look like fish, so to find the change the look at the 375 million year old rock to find transition between the two. In their paleontology work in 2004 they found sedimentary rocks in Pennsylvania and on the east coast of Greenland, but their most successful rock was found in the Artic of Canada.…
Geology: is the act of studying earth or other solid celestial bodies and how they were formed and what they are comprised of. There are two main types of geology:…
The Romans had a basic law of sorts, called the laws of the Twelve Tables. This governed a lot of Roman daily life and proceedings, and was the basis of a sort of equal rights scheme for the plebeian class. In addition to this, the Lex Hortensia, passed in 287BC, further blurred the distinctions between plebeians and patricians. The twelve tables, and any laws passed by a plebeian assembly, would now be binding to both plebeians and patricians, a sort of social justice.…
Geological process affect our everyday life in that everything that we see or touch has some form of minerals in them. Our laptops, tablets, televisions all have minerals in them. These minerals are known as “rare Earth minerals”. Our homes need to have the best materials to ensure safety, so the hardest rocks or minerals are used. Even things that one normally would not think contains minerals, such as toothpaste and facial care products.…
historical geology involves the study of rock strata, fossils, and geologic events, utilizing the geologic time scale as a reference; physical geology includes the study of how rocks form and of how erosion shapes the land surface…
| * The science that examines Earth, its form and composition, and the changes that it has undergone and is undergoing * The processes are slow, but none the less dynamic * Physical geology: examines Earth materials and seeks to understand the many processes that operate on our planet * Historical geology: seeks an understanding of the origin of Earth and its development through time…
During his adolescence while these events were unfolding, it was rumoured and publicly known throughout Rome that Caligula adored his sister Drusilla, maybe a little too much. One source stated that “He caught in incest with his sister Drusilla while still in his teens.” This was not considered normal or righteous in Roman custom during Caligula’s age. However, during Tiberius’s reign as Emperor, his way of life and ruling would have influenced and changed Caligula’s view on how to rule as an Emperor. When Caligula was living with Tiberius at his Court in Capri, he was getting old and needed to find a successor and the only option was Caligula. However, the world Caligula endured at Capri, would have been nothing for which he would have seen,…

I’m going to miss Rome like crazy. It’s been here for over 1,200 years and just like that, it’s gone. The Roman Empire was such an astonishing place I just know it will influence other cultures for centuries to come. I love everything about Rome but the things I’m going to miss the most are their architecture, their law, and their science. From the flowing water of the aqueducts to the gladiator games of the Colosseum, Roman architecture was a beautiful thing. I truly do believe that Roman architecture is the best in the world. The precise detail of the columns and the smooth curved structure of the domed roofs never fail to amaze me. I used to love going to the Colosseum or the Pantheon and just taking in the atmosphere, the roaring of the crowd ringing in my ears, the clashing of metal…

Ancient Rome is recognized as being the forefront of technological innovations and efficiency improvement. The Pont du Gard aqueduct is no less than an impressive engineering feat, stretching for miles to deliver water to town centers. Roman architectural features, such as arches and domes, still remain a prominent presence in modern architecture, proving just how timeless, and more importantly, functional these inventions are. However, one notable difference between the two societies is that unlike Ancient Rome's approach to technological adoption through the appropriation of foreign territories, the United States gained its technological edge through development and research. From the invention of electricity and automobiles to computers,…
The history of the Earth is categorized into four different geological time eras beginning with, the Precambrian Time (4.6 billion-544 million years ago), the Paleozoic Era (544-248 million years ago), the Mesozoic Era (248-65 million years ago), and the Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to the present). Eras are broken down further into smaller units called periods, which help scientists detect changes in Earth's history. Geologists's main sources of evidence for geological eras, and periods are the ages of rocks. There are several methods geologists't use to determine the age of rocks such as, relative age, the law of superposition, index fossils, relative dating, and radioactive dating. Through scientific reasoning and evidence this research…
The early influences of Rome, according to the text, were the people of Etruia and Greece. It is said that it all started in the southernmost Etruscan centers[1]. These places, Caere, Tarquinii, Vulci, and Veii, were the first city-states to be formed. It wasn’t long before the great city of Rome would rise. In this essay, we will briefly comment on the founders of Rome and their influences. Taking each part of history step by step hoping to uncover the secrets of Rome’s first steps towards become a great empire.…
Rome was developed between two cultures; the Greeks were to the south of the Tiber and the Etruscan to the north. The Romans took parts of each culture and infused into theirs. They admired the Greek culture and the Etruscan system for trade. The interesting part of the foundation of Rome comes in by the two foundation myths. One myth from the Greeks was based on the Trojan warrior Aeneas, who decided at the end of the Trojan War to sail off to find new land for his people (Sayre 83). The second myth from the Etruscans was based two twins Romulus and Remus were left by the Tiber to die and were rescued and raised by a she-wolf (Sayre 83). Both myths are similar in the respect that they represent passion by wanting Rome and betrayal by being destructive.…
The Roman Republic began in 509 B.C.E. with the overthrow of the Etruscan monarchy. In 27 B.C.E the Roman Empire began with Octavian Caesar becoming the emperor, this ended almost 500 years of republican self-government. There is much debate over why Rome became so powerful so quickly. Many think it had to do with Rome's military strength. Others think that it was because Rome knew of and controlled most of the trade routes. Still others believed it had to do with the technology that was advanced during the Roman Republic. All of these factors played significant roles, but which one played the most important role?…
