Geomorphology
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page paper on geormorphology explains the scientific study of landforms and landscapes. The term geomorphology applies normally to the origins as well as the dynamic morphology (changing structure and form) of the earth's land surfaces, but it may also include the morphology of the seafloor as well as the analysis of extraterrestrial terrains. Sometimes included in the field of physical geography, geomorphology is in actuality the geological prospect of the visible landscape. This fascinating science has developed in two distinctive ways that should be integrated in order for the entire structure of the understanding of landscapes to emerge. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Global Positioning Systems
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Humans have forever longed to explore the unknown elements of space, a vast, mysterious entity that engulfs a planet currently inhabited by several billion people. Indeed, one of the ultimate -- if not awe-inspiring -- quests in relation to space exploration has been to determine just how hospitable other planets' living conditions are as the earth's own population continues to push the limits of sustenance. Another even more compelling reason for delving out into the darkness of space is to find out what other forms of life might also live within the galaxies; certainly, people are not so egocentric to think that humans are the only life forms to exist. Yet a third has become one of the most intriguing components of contemporary space exploration: global position systems (GPS). GPS has, indeed, captured the attention and imagination of earthlings worldwide, inasmuch as it represents the future in space exploration. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

High Pressure Silica Minerals: Coesite and Stishovite
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing these rare forms of silica. Generally only found in areas where quartz rocks have been subjected to extremely high pressure such as in Arizona's Meteor Crater, stishovite was first discovered in sandstone that had been converted to glass as a result of the impact of the meteor.
