Like a box of paints that are mixed to make every shade, they either combine to make a chemical compound or stand alone as they are.

Not geologically possible.

Then, if we added maps like the geology, the bedrock geology, and the surface geology, what the glaciers leave, if we make the soil map, with the 17 soil classes, that are defined by the National Conservation Service, if we make a digital elevation model of the topography that tells us how high the hills were, then we can calculate the slopes.

The same word that you see in things like Geography and Geology

Here's Hellas Basin, a very very different place, geologically.

Oil and gas exploration are grouped under the science of petroleum geology.

The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars.

Environmental degradation affecting flora, fauna and geology of Palestinian habitat

We have very simple weather systems, simple geology. For instance, I could open one of my tools here and then carve out rivers.

10. Given the magnitude of the project to construct a permanent link through the Strait of Gibraltar, information on the geological characteristics of the specific area that the project involves, and of the overall region, is a prerequisite for a feasibility study of the project.

I'm a geologist, got out of school in '51, and I've been in the industry my entire life.

In 1923, he received a grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and used this to travel to eastern South America to study the geology of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.

For a project of this magnitude, however, the knowledge of the geological characteristics of the submerged areas is considered insufficient.

In the modern age, we've tapped sources of energy embedded in fossil fuels, even in the atom itself.

We have very simple little weather systems you see here, very simple geology. For instance, I could open one of my tools here and then carve out rivers.

Geologically, the Hadean Earth would have been far more active than at any other time in its history.

Instead of going around geologically looking for iron the airplane drops this down, and it flies over the Earth and it tells you where the iron is (do you understand? ) by a current moving around in a coil.

The geology of Australia includes virtually all known rock types and from all geological time periods spanning over 3.8 billion years of the Earth's history.

But it might well be that, in fact, if China wakes up in 2030 and realizes that the climate impacts are just unacceptable, they may not be very interested in our moral conversations about how to do this, and they may just decide they'd really rather have a geo engineered world than a non geo engineered world.

In late 2006, Ken MacLeod, a geology professor from the University of Missouri, completed an analysis of sediment below the ocean's surface, bolstering the single impact theory.

Geology In North America, the era began with deep sedimentary basins along the eastern, southeastern, and western sides of the continent, while the interior was dry land.

COMRA, the Government of the Republic of Korea and State Enterprise Yuzhmorgeologiya also submitted additional data and information which were not contained in their annual reports for 2002.

20. However, while the geological characteristics of the land areas are well defined, those of the submerged areas, which are essential for the tunnel option, are certainly not known in any detail.

Two years ago here at TED I reported that we had discovered at Saturn, with the Cassini Spacecraft, an anomalously warm and geologically active region at the southern tip of the small Saturnine moon Enceladus, seen here.

Their nature depends upon the bedrock geology of the island and as a general rule the bigger the island the more diverse its geology and, consequently, the better its chance of having significant mineral deposits.

In April 2004, invitations were sent to Mr. Christopher Schenk, a United States citizen and geologist at the United States Geological Survey, seconded to the Department of the Interior, and Richard T. Buffler, a United States geophysicist from the University of Austin, Texas, to attend a conference on earth sciences.
