Introduction

In the scientific world, many radical scientific principles go through a tumultuous progression before the scientific community accepts them. This was the case with the continental drift theory, a landmark theory in geology. When it was proposed, the scientific community received the continental drift theory with ridicule. However, with time, the theory underwent a series of reinforcement from accumulating evidence in support of the theory. In the end, it emerged as the greatest geological principle of all time. The continental drift theory was the brainchild of Alfred Wegener. Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist born in 1980. He acquired a PhD in astronomy from ...

The theory of the continental drift was proposed by the German geographer and geologist Alfred Wegener on basis of the accumulated scientific facts. He formulated the first scientific theory of the slow continental drift in 1912. He mentioned the numerous similarities in the geological structure of the continents and the generality of the fossilized flora and fauna in the geological past. The weighty proof also was the coincidence of the climate in the distant geological eras.
Alfred Wegener was born on first of November in 1880 in the center of Brooklyn in the family of the famous scientist. ...

History concludes that these three continents were quite connected in the year 1500 and some before and after that. This was because of the slave trade that took place between the three continents. Slaves were collected from Africa then shipped to the United States via Europe. Despite the technological and economical difference between these continents and especially Africa compared to the United States and Europe, the three were quite similar in terms of political uprising. On the surface, these three continents seemed quite dissimilar but research has proved the contrary. Scholars have gone to extra lengths to show the ...

Introduction

Tectonic Plate refers to a massive, slab of solid rock that is irregularly shaped, and it is composed of both oceanic and continental lithosphere.

Definitions

Mid-Ocean Ridge refers to an underwater mountain range that forms due to plate tectonics. This structure is formed through two tectonic processes, ridge-push and slab pull that cause the spreading at mid-ocean ridges.
Basin and Range topography refers to structure that is characterized by sudden changes in sloping and is alternating in between the narrow chains of faulted mountain and flat arid basins or valleys. They are formed by crustal extension or extensional tectonics.
...

Continental drift is an idea developed by Alfred Wegner which states that the continents are drifting away across the ocean. He also suggested the plate tectonic theory in the year 1915. The theory states that, all continents were brought together into a mass land million of years ago. The key evidence presented in this case is that, African and South American continents fit each other perfectly if they can be enjoined. In addition, it has been evidenced that similar fossils are found in different continents which implies that, at one point in time they used to be together. The distribution ...

A new appetite of territory expansion was observed among European empires in the nineteenth century. Several European countries participated in the race of empire building. In this round of expansion plans, these empires competed to one another and after a number of war expeditions and treaties, established their colonies in various parts of Asia and Africa. Their expansion plan was instigated by several needs and it was not possible for these countries to close their eyes to these demands. There were more than a few factors behind the spreading out plans of European empires and in this paper we would examine ...

1. How do continents grow and how are they modified
Continents arise due to movement of plates causing boundaries within the earth surface. Plates move through the oceanic crust along narrow zones between each other leading to the development of plate-tectonic forces. As a result, this forces leads to development of boundaries between the plates. This plates becomes the continents. Generally, continents arise because of continental drift that forces a single land mass on the earth surface to split and drift hence forming a continent. Their modification arises due to various plate boundaries that develop within the earth surface. These boundaries ...

Guns, Germs and Steel

This book by Jared Diamond is based on scientific fact and seeks to explain the reason why Eurasia has always seemed to be ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to genetic superiority. The book suggests that the biggest advantage that Eurasia had was its geography, which by large favored farming activities like planting of crops and rearing of domestic animals. It is documented therein that humans started food production approximately 11000 years ago, despite having fed off the wild for over 7 million years.
Guns, Germs and Steel speaks about the earliest of human ...

The Hydrologic Cycle

The global hydrologic cycle involves the change of water between three states. Water can be gaseous, like humidity in the atmosphere and the condensation in clouds, liquid as in our lakes, rivers, and oceans, or solid as in our ice caps and glaciers. Water is very complex and energy is required for it to change between the different states. Without water, biologic life could not exist.
Evaporation and transpiration return water from the liquid state into the gaseous state. It takes a lot of energy to effect this change in state. Approximately 600 calories per gram of water is ...

Introduction

As known in all contexts, Europe is a relatively small continent which is located in between the Asian and African continents. However, despite the proximity of the two continents, Europe is able to establish its own culture and becomes distinct with a pronounced uniqueness. One possible contributor for such outcome is its geography and the locations of the countries that composed the continent. Though Europe is relatively small, several countries are bounded and these boundaries are important for analyzing the geography of the continent. Looking at the physical and political maps of Europe, this paper aims to analyze the ...

The hydrological cycle refers to the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the earth. It mainly involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, percolation, interception and runoff/overland flows. The main source of energy that drives the cycle is solar energy and therefore the main changes in energy involve changes in temperature. When surface water is heated, it gains energy and changes from liquid state to gaseous state. This results in a cooling effect to the surrounding region (Arctic Climatology and Meteorology) Transpiration also contributes in adding water vapor in the atmosphere; this is referred ...

Hegemony describes the subordination of some states by one state, which acts as the leader states through formation of a dominant government. The hegemon which can be viewed as the leader state rules a large geographical area through increased power over the other states. It also exerts a threat of force among member states, which leads to their insubordination under the line of the leader state. The European hegemony developed as a geopolitical predominance of Europe especially Germany over two continents. These continents, Asia and Africa, were also culturally dominated by Europe leading, to limited freedom to making political and cultural decisions. This ...

Water and Its Unique Properties

Water is has a unique physical and chemical properties which are essential to life and to the earth processes such as climate change. Water molecules generally consist of one oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. However the atoms do not share equal electrons thereby making water slightly charged—exhibits polarity. Water molecules interact with other water molecule through a weak hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds allow water to interact also with other polar substances. Water is known as the universal solvent. Thus, it has the capacity to dissolve various polar substances like ammonia and nonpolar substances such as methane (Freudenrich, 2011).

How European colonization transformed modern African and Asian societies

When the colonialists were venturing into Africa and Asia, they encountered strange cultural practices among the natives. The ways of life observed among the various ethnicities in Africa and Asia were strictly adhered to by the members of the communities since the omission of some practices amounted to serious taboos. The languages were unique to each tribe and so were such social institutions as marriage and religion. The Africans led simple lives that emphasized basic survival. The Asians had advanced a bit as far as economic practice was concerned. They had started engaging in trade that involved metals, salt and ...

There is a relationship between volcanic eruption and the climate of a place. After the eruption, the poisonous sulphur dioxide which is emitted out as a volcanic product, reacts and get oxidized to form sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere, hence affecting the climate adversely (Forster 2007). Volcanic ashes and particles having diameter larger than 2 um also affects the atmosphere. According to Ramaswamy (1996), ozone depletion results when the volcanic aerosols react with the balanced chemistry in the stratosphere. Mid and high latitudes volcanic eruptions create drastic climatic changes. The aerosols here retain over the hemisphere and cause climate to change. For ...

Certain elements involved in the geochemical and biogeochemical cycling are of great concern due to their limited availability both naturally or through industrial manufacture of the compounds involved in the cycles. Some of the processes involved are chemical reactions with other elements or substances. Some of these reactions are irreversible chemical reactions. This implies once the reaction has taken place, the elements are removed from natural cycle and they cannot be replaced again. As such, the more the cases of irreversible reactions, the greater the rate of reduction of these elements from the environment. Ultimately, there could be less ...

Many people hold the notion that race is a way of creating divisions among people. This form of racial construction is based on the assumption that there are differences between different groups of human beings identifiable by their physical features. But to some degree, this does not encompass a biological or genetic; race is limited to some constructed ideologies that are bases for political, cultural and economic concepts. It can never be a biological or genetic concept because there are no concrete facts that back the biological theory. Going by previous research and theories, all human beings subscribe to a common ancestry, and ...

It is a shame that books like Jerry A. Conye’s best-selling book Why Evolution is True (2009) is necessary for the twenty-first century. After all, Charles Darwin wrote his groundbreaking work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection was published in 1859. Since its publication many other scientific discoveries have been made to support Darwin’s dangerous idea. Evolution should not be a controversial issue and sadly it remains so even in the most educated countries of the world. Part of the controversy could be because many people who oppose evolution have no idea what evolution is. ...

Charles Darwin published his masterpiece detailing his theory of evolution by natural selection, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life in 1859. Despite the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community, there are still loud and politically active Creationists that insist that the earth is less than 10,000 years old because the Bible says so. However, the Bible never actually states how old the universe or the earth is. Belief that there is a Creator and in the theory of evolution are compatible for followers of ...

The last quarter of the nineteenth century has seen major changes on the views about capitalism that for the past many years has had much criticism. For the past years, capitalism has been criticized but according to Joyce Appleby in her book The Relentless Revolution; capitalism was neither an inevitable development in the human history nor was it a natural phenomenon. She instead notes that capitalism growth was fuelled by many necessary cultural conditions in a dynamic world. She argues that the shift in people’s lifestyle was a major contributing factor to the fuelled growth in capitalism. Appleby notes that the ...

Domestic violence has been a problem since human kind became a species. As society has progressed and philosophical movements have increased the consciousness of human kind, domestic violence in progressive circles has been condemned as the scourge that it is. While some countries and cultures, mostly in the developed world, has made great leaps in curbing domestic violence, some places, such as many countries in Africa. Domestic violence is a symptom of unequal gender power dynamics. The solution must therefore come from within the context of the African culture (Shamu, 3). Many cultures in Africa are tribal in nature and the basic ...
