Building Your Own Personal “How Hard Is It Raining?” Detector: Environmental Sensors for Earth Science Enthusiasts
Historical AspectsWhat are the major factors influencing geologic change? 1. Tectonic plate movements Tectonic plate movement continues to be one of the most important factors influencing geologic change on Earth. The Earth’s lithosphere is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are in constant motion, driven
Unveiling the Enduring Forces: Exploring the Ongoing Factors Shaping Earth’s Geology
Polar & Ice RegionsFrom ice core analysis to temperature curves 1. Introduction to ice core analysis Ice core analysis is a powerful tool used by scientists to unravel the Earth’s climate history. Ice sheets, such as those found in Greenland and Antarctica, contain layers of compressed snow and ice that have accumulated over thousands of years. These ice
