		United Kingdom, officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, island nation and constitutional monarchy in north-western Europe, member of the European Union and Commonwealth of Nations.
		The United Kingdom is bordered to the south by the English Channel, which separates it from continental Europe, to the east by the North Sea, and to the west by the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean; the only land border is between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
		The crowns of England and Scotland were united in 1603, but the two countries remained separate political entities until the 1707 Act of Union, which formed the Kingdom of Great Britain with a single legislature.

		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογο&sigmaf; (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history, and the processes that shape it.
		The word "geology" was first used by Jean-André Deluc in the year 1778 and introduced as a fixed term by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the year 1779.
		In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.

	Geology Summary
		Field methods in geology may be broken down into four main groups: (1) obtaining and marking samples and describing and measuring where they came from in an outcrop; (2) measuring and recording orientation (i.e., altitude) of strata or other planar features; (3) measuring dimensions (height and width); and (4) constructing geologic and topographic maps.
		Geology is a general term for the group of sciences that study the solid Earth, its materials, and processes.
		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the solid matter of a celestial body, its composition, structure, physical properties, history and the processes that shape it.

		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος; (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history and the processes that shape it.
		Geologists have helped establish the age of the Earth at about 4.6 billion (4.6x109) years, and have determined that the Earth's lithosphere, which includes the crust, is fragmented into tectonic plates that move over a rheic upper mantle (asthenosphere) via processes that are collectively referred to as plate tectonics.

	Geology - Information
		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history, and the processes that shape it.
		The most significant advance in 20th century geology has been the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s.
		The principle becomes quite complex, however, given the uncertainties of fossilization, the localization of fossil types due to lateral changes in habitat (facies change in sedimentary strata), and that not all fossils may be found globally at the same time.

	UC Davis Geology: Undergraduate Program Information
		Within the constraints of the campus and College residence requirements, it is possible for students to complete significant portions of the Geology major at an international institution provided that the student consults with one of the undergraduate advisers and carefully plans a course of study abroad that will complement their course work at Davis.
		In recent years, UC Davis Geology majors have spent their junior or senior years completing upper division course work at Education Abroad Program (EAP) partner institutions including the University of Leeds, the University of Edinburgh (both in the United Kingdom), and the University of Auckland (in New Zealand).
		Below are detailed study plans which would allow incoming undergraduates to complete their B.S. in Geology (with a General geology emphasis) in 4 years, including a year studying Geology at either Leeds University (in the United Kingdom) or University of Auckland (in New Zealand).

	History of Britain Summary
		The History of Britain, until the last few hundred years, was one of struggle and competition between the separate nation-states that occupied various parts of the island of Great Britain.
		This is also evident in the various changes of the English church during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I of the house of Tudor.
		Parliament asked Charles II to come back and be their king, and the kingdom was restored to the way it had been before the Civil War.

		However the name is usually applied to mean the area surrounding the village, particularly the mountains to the north of Glen Torridon.
		These are all made of a type of sandstone, known as Torridonian sandstone (see Geology of the United Kingdom), which over time this has become eroded to produce the unique characteristics of the Torridon hills.
		Although many peaks in the North-west highlands exhibit Torridon geology, the Torridon hills are generally considered only to be those in the Torridon Forest to the north of Glen Torridon.
