Extractions: An Introduction to Plate Tectonics CONTINENTS ADRIFT Of course, the "Drift" theory was not immediately accepted by Wegener's peers, as it is difficult in the world of science to change accepted or established doctrines or views. Two other viewpoints prevailed at this time. Those who believed that the continents and basins were basically unchanged in their position and relative configuration since they were formed were called "Permanentists". Others believed that as a result of the gradual contraction of the solid earth, ocean floor became dry land, and dry land in turn became ocean floor; these scientists were called "Contractionists". Fossil Distribution Wegener studied the distribution of animals and fossil land plants to help him in his interpretations. Wegener found that the plant Glossopteris had left behind leaf remains which were relatively common in the Southern Hemisphere continents. This supported his hypothesis, as Wegener reasoned that in order for Glossopteris leaves to be found in the widely spaced continents of the Southern Hemisphere, the continents must once have been joined. Using this evidence, he joined all of the southern continents, together with India, into a supercontinent which he named Pangea The splitting of Pangaea Lithology Wegener also studied the distribution of major geological bodies, such as crystalline basement (rocks and continental crust) complexes and mineral deposits. He found that the fit predicted by map estimates was confirmed by the alignment of geological complexes on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. For instance when he fitted Africa and South America together along their continental shelves, he found that large blocks of ancient rock called cratons formed contiguous patterns across the dividing line. The mountains that run from east to west across South Africa seemed to link with the range near Buenos Aires in Argentina. The distinctive rock strata of the Karoo system in South Africa, which consists of layers of sandstone, shale and clay laced with seams of coal, were identical to those of the Santa Catarina system in Brazil.

Extractions: GEODESY PAGE © 1999 James Q. Jacobs DEFINITIONS COORDINATE SYSTEMS FIGURE OF THE EARTH DEFINITIONS: Geodesy is the discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the earth, its gravity field and geodynamic phenomena (polar motion, earth tides, and crustal motion) in three-dimensional time varying space. Geodesy is primarily concerned with positioning and the gravity field and geometrical aspects of their temporal variations. Geoid is esentially the real shape of the earth, without accounting for the topographic features. It is an idealized equilibrium surface. The geoid, unlike the ellipsoid, is too complicated to serve as the computational surface on which to solve geometrical problems like point position. Coordinate System. A reference system for defining points in space or on planes and surfaces with relation to designated axis, planes or surfaces. In surveying and mapping three general types are used: (1.) Plano-polar, in which points in a plane are defined by distance from a specified point along a ray having a specified direction with respect to a base line; (2.) Rectangular, points are defined by distance from two perpendicular axis or three mutually perpendicular planes;

Additional Resources This webpage was created by Stacey Archfield Hazards of Sea Level Rise: An Introduction Sea level is rising worldwide and is caused by both natural and human factors. Most research indicates that sea level is rising approximately 2mm/yr. Although 2 mm/yr. seems to be a relatively small amount of change, a small increase in sea level can have devastating effects. Other factors such as glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) are causing coastal lands to sink, increasing the rate of sea level rise for those areas. Fortunately, in some areas of the world, GIA is causing land to rise allowing for some compensation to rising sea level. Since greater than 75 percent of the human population will live within 60 km of a coast by 2000 [Michener et al., 1997], it is important that the effects of any change in sea level rise are studied. There is no physical capacity that humans have to protect against long term sea level rise. The key to coping with sea level rise is education of the effects and accurate assessments of hazards for given points in time. In this way, humans can act decisively and appropriately to minimize loss of life, and economic and ecological impacts. Education is the only long-term, far-reaching solution to sea level rise. Sea level has fluctuated by an order of 100 meters over the last 18,000 years [Michener et al., 1997]. Global sea level can change due to three factors: 1-Change in the volume of the ocean basins, 2-Expansion or shrinking of ocean water due to changes in climate and 3-Periods of worldwide glacial advance and retreat [Davis, 1997]. Human impact has no control over changing the volume of the ocean basins. However, the greenhouse effect can cause the ocean to gather thermal inertia that will heat the continents and slowly melt the polar ice caps, increasing sea level worldwide [Michener et al., 1997].

Satellite techniques What is geodesy? Geodesy is a science, the oldest earth (geo-) science, in fact. It was born of fear and curiosity, driven by a desire to predict natural happenings and calls for the understanding of these happenings. The classical definition, according to one of the "fathers of geodesy" reads: "Geodesy is the science of measuring and portraying the earth’s surface" [Helmert, 1880, p.3]. Nowadays, we understand the scope of geodesy to be somewhat wider. It is captured by the following definition [Vanícek and Krakiwsky, 1986, p.45]: "

IUGG XXI General Assembly Program Committee The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), which was established in 1919, is dedicated to the scientific study of the Earth and the application of the knowledge gained by such studies to the needs of society, such as more rational use of mineral resources, reduction of the effects of natural hazards, and environmental protection. The Union's objectives are the promotion and coordination of physical, chemical, and mathematical studies of the Earth and its environment in space. These studies include the shape of the Earth, its gravitational and magnetic fields, the dynamics of the Earth as a whole and of its component parts, the Earth's internal structure, the hydrologic cycle including snow and ice, all aspects of the oceans, the atmosphere, the ionosphere, magnetopshere, and solar-terrestrial relations, and analogous problems associated with the Moon and other planets. The IUGG has supported collaborative international interdisciplinary research programmes such as the International Geophysical Year (1957-58), the Upper Mantle Project (1964-70), the Geodynamics Project (1972-79), the Global Atmospheric Research Programme (1970-80), and the International Lithosphere Programme (1981-90). A major achievement has been the creation, through the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), of the World Data Center System, from which the data gathered during these major programmes are available to research workers everywhere.
