	Paklenica NP - Geomorphological and geological characteristics
		The entry to the canyons of Mala and Velika Paklenica (Small and Large Paklenica) are truly a phenomenon due to their geological and hydrological particularities, the abundant karst, and the wealth of flora and fauna.
		The geological particularities of the National Park are seen in the sharp karst formations in the regions of Bojinac, Vidakov kuk and on the plateau between both canyons.
		Here, many varying karst formations are visible, from cracks in the limestone, channels, basins, fissures and caves, which arose from the intensive activity of flowing water and from the large temperature differences during individual seasons.

	A new look at geological and oceanographic data supporting Atlantis
		The geological aspect of Atlantis is the most important facet of the whole issue of Atlantis.
		If the geological story of this planet does not support the existence of a large island in the midst of the North Atlantic, then, to make a long story short, Atlantis is down the tube.
		Moreover the phenomenon known as "continental drift," which is due to the action of Plate Tectonics, is an extremely slow process.

	The Biosphere and the Noösphere, by Vladimir Vernadsky
		By approaching the study of geological phenomena from a geochemical and biogeochemical point of view, we may comprehend the whole of the circumambient nature in the same atomic aspect.
		This phenomenon was called by Dana "cephalization," and by Le Conte the "psychozoic era." Dana, like Darwin, adopted this idea at the time of his journey around the world, which he started in 1838, two years after Darwin's return to London, and which lasted until 1842.
		The geological evolutionary process shows the biological unity and equality of all men, Homo sapiens and his ancestors, Sinanthropus and others; their progeny in the mixed white, red, yellow, and fl races evolves ceaselessly in innumerable generations.

	Yemen Geological Survey & Mineral Resources Board
		The importance of the geological museum comes from educating the different groups of society to meet the meaning of culture and its diversity to cover several sciences and arts and not being focused on one’s specialization.
		Realizing the great importance of the geological museums weather in the cultural, education or economic aspects, the Ministry of Oil and Minerals represented by the GSMRB has made its efforts to establish the first geological museum in Yemen since 1999.
		The geological structure of Yemen is related to the regional structure of the Arabic board in its different stages of development, yet it is distinguished for regional features during the sequence of the geological times from the ancient time to the present time.

		There are three major geologic inaccuracies that, based upon what we have learned in the course, scream for correction.
		First, while there is a geological phenomenon known as a “lava bomb”, its properties in reality greatly differ from those portrayed in the movie.
		The second geological inaccuracy in the movie Volcano is that unlike in the move, the majority of volcanic eruptions in real life are preceded by other geological activity.

	What is Plate Tectonics?
		Depending on the plates involved, forces of varying types create geological phenomenon; crust is created, destroyed, or crushed.
		A forerunner of plate tectonics was the theory of continental drift, put forth in 1912 by German meteorologist, Alfred Lothar Wegener.
		This explained contradictory geological records such as glacial deposits in lands that now lie in arid latitudes, or the coal deposits of tropical plants found in Antarctica.

		The multi-Gaussian approach to spatial estimation and simulation Quantifying spatial correlation with the variogram Geological genesis of a reservoir causes observations to be correlated in space.
		Geological patterns can be represented by a simple variogram, or as will be explained later, as a training image that contains any geological pattern deemed relevant for the reservoir under study.
		Geological interpretation is therefore best delivered in images, which can be obtained for example using a non-conditional Boolean technique, through dense outcrop sampling, or even simple geological re-constructions.

		The Loch Ness Monster could be the result of earthquakes, according to Dr Luigi Piccardi, a geologist at the Centro di Studio dell’ Appennino e delle Catene Perimediterranee (Firenze) who specialises in finding links between mythical and historical descriptions and geological phenomena.
		He thinks it may not be a coincidencel that Loch Ness lies along the Great Glen Fault (GGF), one of the major fault lines of the UK, and still active.
		Piccardi, who has already suggested that the Oracle of Delphi had her visions as a result of hallucinogenic vapours rising along a fault line from hydrocarbon-bearing strata below, believes that mythological sites in Greece are strongly correlated with active geological faults.

		A geological journey across Italy is, therefore, an unrepeatable opportunity to discover just what and how many connections exist between the reasons for its historical and cultural attraction, and the characteristics of its stratigraphy and tectonics.
		The variety found in the geological panorama of Italy enabled two great men of the past to formulate considerations of a scientific nature already modern: Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolò Stenone (who worked in Italy as a court physician).
		The Dane Stenone was instead perhaps the true forerunner of modern geology, having been the first to confer a sense of deepness to the time of mankind; he identified in strata present in Tuscany valleys the evolution of a geological history much longer and more complex than had been previously imagined.
