Use Simple Words. Give simple explanations nothing complicated. Now that you know California’s state rock and mineral(s), research the rocks (you can do minerals-if you like) around your house (literally), including type(s), how they formed, their geologic history (briefly), economic resources/benefits, and any other information you find interesting to you. You can getting an overview…

As we see, technology is ever-changing and impacts events and the most minor things we do on a day-to-day basis. Please review the Impact of Mobile learning and the videos below, and develop a short PowerPoint presentation to summarize some important points about mobile learning. The slides should be (5-7 slides of content), you should…

Biostratigraphy involves the study, correlation, and age-dating of rock layers based on the kinds of fossils species they contain. For more than 200 years, geologists have been using the concept of “fossil succession” to assign relative ages to rock layers. “Fossil succession?” refers to the fact that different fossil species lived and died at different…
