Hutton- Lived from 1726-1797. He proposed that Earth’s geological features could be explained by gradual mechanisms still operating. An example would be how valleys are formed through erosion and the washing away of the rocks to the sea. 5. Lyell- Lived from 1797-1875.
They also may supervise or participate in developing educational materials for visitors to an aquarium. In the field, observations help a marine biologist learn how to care for fish of different species and also what material is very important for others to know. PROS: * However when you are in this career for a long period of time you can only make up to $100,000 a year. * Also if you love water and science, then this is a perfect career for you! * You can save sick animals, * See coral reefs * Examine habitats * You get to meet new people * New experiences * Discover new things CONS: * There aren't many colleges that have this major, so you will have to go to a state that does.
Alfred Wegner was the theorist behind the discovery of tectonic plates back at the start of the 19th century. He found that across the globe there were small bits of evidence that showed the earth was once just one big continent called Pangaea, one part of evidence he found to explain this vast continent was the mountain ranges going through the middle of the West of Africa and the East of South America both of which go right up to the coastline and end in the sea. He noticed that if you connected the two continents up like a jigsaw then the two mountain ranges joined up nicely to make one big one. It isn’t just these two continents that join up but all the continents we have today connected up. For example Canada and the north of Scotland connect agreeably, and they have similar rock formations which indicate that they were laid down at the same time in the same place.

Plate Tectonics is the theory that explains the structure and motion of the Earth’s lithosphere. The theory states that the Earth’s crust is split into large sections called tectonic plates, and these move relative to one another creating boundaries at which plates converge, diverge and move past each other. As far back as 1620, Francis Bacon noticed that the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America looked as if it would fit together. Between then and 1912 others identified further similarities but it was only that year when Alfred Wegener published a theory and subsequent evidence to explain why the earth appeared to be a huge jigsaw puzzle. He suggested that all continents were once a huge supercontinent, called Pangaea- which drifted apart.
He started up a business using this technique and it was not very profitable (Engel Page 1). Butcher, His wife Niki, and their children lived in a camper trailer at various campgrounds and would take cold baths at campsites. He started taking more and more photographs and developing them and he would take his works to art shows and sell them (Engel Page 2). Butcher and two others founded a commercial photography business that mainly took color pictures for department stores (Engel Page 2). The company was doing very well and and was based out of Los Angeles, California.
He was born to Andries van Wesele, who was an apothecary to the Emperor Maximillian and his son Charles V. Andries was also an illegitimate son of the Emperor’s physician. Vesalius’ grandfather was the Royal Physician of Emperor Maximillion, and his great grandfather received his medical degree and taught medicine at the school Vesalius eventually attended, the University of Louvain. He came from a long line of people in the Royal service. In February 1530, only 15 years old, Andreas enrolled at the University of Louvain to pursue studying the arts, as his father planned for him. Two years later, he continued his education at the University of Paris but changed his academic goals.
He argued that complexity evolved simply as a result of life adapting to its local conditions from one generation to the next, much as modern biologists see this process. But of course, Darwin's ideas weren't entirely modern either. For example, he tried on and eventually rejected several different ideas about heredity (including the inheritance of acquired characteristics, as championed by Lamarck) and never came to any satisfying conclusion about how traits were passed from parent to
Human development studies began with Darwin and other evolutionists who shared his theories. Darwin wanted to prove his theory of evolution; he believed the only approach to this was him studying human development. (Boyd& Bee, 2006) The definition of a lifespan is the average or minimum length of time an organism, material, or object can be expected to survive or last. (American Heritage Dictionary, 2000) The definition of development based on biology is the process of an individual organism growing organically a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level. (Collins English Dictionary, 2003) Ultimately the two words conjoined define the methodical intra-individual change associated with progresses corresponding to age.
Then they decide on having another child who born with genetic modification. After that, Vincent’s stronger brother, Anton was born. Day by day, Vincent grows up and he looks very nerdy with glasses, high-riding baggy shorts. He thinks that he is not a part of his family and his father rejects him for Anton. Vincent was very insecure and disappointed because his parents had no faith in him.
