What is the deformation caused by stress?
Regional SpecificsStress can cause strain, if it is sufficient to overcome the strength of the object that is under stress. Strain is a change in shape or size resulting from applied forces (deformation). Rocks only strain when placed under stress. Any rock can be strained. Which type of deformation is caused by high stress? When a
What is the Great Rift Valley and why is it important?
Natural EnvironmentsThe Rift Valley has been a rich source of fossils that allow study of human evolution, especially in an area known as Piedmont. Because the rapidly eroding highlands have filled the valley with sediments, a favourable environment for the preservation of remains has been created. Where is the Great Rift Valley and why is it
How does transitional fossils support evolution?
Regional SpecificsTransitional fossils are remnants of an organism that came in between a known version of a species and the current species.
