Earth Sciences Explorer: Geologic Time __ "Say, did you ever wonder about all of the things that have ever happened on Earth and how old it really is? As it turns out, Mother Earth was a bit reluctant to let out her true age. It took us a long time to figure it out, but as near as we can tell, Mother Earth is four thousand, six hundred million years old (4,600 million = 4.6 billion), give or take a few hundred million years." A good introduction to geologic time for middle students. - illustrated - From Wheeling Jesuit University - http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/earthsysflr/geotime.html

Geology Discipline Home Page __ A great resource for the study of geology for student and professional alike. You will find a virtual ton of interesting information. - illustrated - From USGS - http://geology.usgs.gov/

 
GeologyLink __ "Want to learn more about basic concepts in geology? Curious about a recent geologic event? Interested in studying a subject in depth? Inside Geology will link you to hundreds of class lectures, web sites, references, news items, organizations, and glossaries on every aspect of geology." - From Houghton Mifflin Company - http://college.hmco.com/geology/resources/geologylink/index.html 

Is Geomorphology within Geography or Geology? __ read about this controversy and find definitions that place it within both disciplines. - From Unknown ( or a lot of people ) - http://www.staff.amu.edu.pl/~sgp/gw/gggeo/gggeo.html 

Geophysics On The Internet __ "Geophysics involves the application of physical laws and principles to a study of the Earth and other astronomical bodies. The Internet is a world wide collection of clients (your machine) and servers (computers which house potentially useful material). This page is dedicated to providing you access to the wealth of geophysical information on the Internet." - From University of Houston - http://www.uh.edu/~jbutler/geophysics/seg.html

Plate Tectonics, the Cause of Earthquakes __ "In cross section, the Earth releases its internal heat by convecting, or boiling much like a pot of pudding on the stove. Hot asthenospheric mantle rises to the surface and spreads laterally, transporting oceans and continents as on a slow conveyor belt." Learn how this process is the cause of earthquakes. - illustrated - From The Nevada Seismological Laboratory - http://www.seismo.unr.edu/ftp/pub/louie/class/100/plate-tectonics.html
