Which of these would be the most interesting topic for an essay in my geology class?

El Nino.  It really is fascinating because there are long periods where the weather has changed and caused civilizations to crumble in the past.  It kinda puts into perspective how dependent we are on our climate.\n\nhttp://www.elnino.noaa.gov/\nhttp://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/eln/home.rxml\nhttp://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/elnino/el-nino-story.html\nhttp://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/elnino/nino-home.html\nhttp://www.coaps.fsu.edu/lib/elninobib/\nhttp://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2001-06/UoM-EfEN-1706101.php\nhttp://www.umaine.edu/news/Archives/2001/June01/elnino.htm

talk about global warming\nits a huge topic that will be more than enough to fill up 10 pgs\ntheres a lot to be researched too, so prepare for lots of work\nstuff like causes, preventions, consequences, proof\nresearch into Kyoto Accord, greenhouse gases, ocean currents, recent appearances of hurricanes (hurricanes build on warm air, and the temperature has been rising in the past few decades), car emissions, melting ice caps, change in migration of animals, stuff like that

I'm a geologist who has taught geology and earth science at the high school and college level. Why do you ask? \n\nYou can find most of my answers over in science and math, and in earth sciences. I'll be happy to watch for your questions and help if I can.

In the introduction, give a general idea of the issue, question, or ideas you are going to write about. It's especially good if you can get in a "hook" or attention grabber to capture people's interest. For example, "By the year 2060, ninety percent of the country of Bangladesh may be underwater."\nIn the conclusion, summarize your point of view and bring closure to the essay.  \nHere's a website with hints on essay writing.\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/

Genetics of the fruit fly drosophila (Mendeline genetics)\n\nAn essay on Darwin and his discovery of Natural selection would be good and interesting reading.\n\nHow do finger prints work? Including the history of, and perhaps a discussion on the fact that identical twins do not have identical finger prints.\n\nOver farming/fishing, how humans are quickly using up the environment and resources of the planet.\n\nThe extinction of the Dinosausrs.\n\nThe phenomenon of the Peppered Moth and Industrial melanism.\n\nDepends what area you are interested in, you can pick something you find fun and do some research on it, don't think of it as hard, think of it as an opportunity to do something you enjoy and show your markers how much you enjoy it by researching it.

An easy one for the music topic would be to do it about how classical music affects the growth of plants or if it doesnt. For the dog topics it could be to reasearch about whether its true that their mouth is cleaner than the human mouth ( dont know why you would want to do that....but...anyways) . Another topic  saw once in a science fair was something with the simple atom. For the Atom one you can make an atom display and can explain about it and its importance and make a a poster about it too. Hope this gives you some ideas !! (seems easy ...na ? )

It's mostly a desert so yeah I would think water and ability to grow anything would be fairly important.\n\nAdmit it.  You want us to help you answer the essay question on your take home exam don't you!!!

I once wrote a compare and contrast essay on romaine lettuce and iceberg lettuce. It was actually quite interesting, and I hardly had to do any research! \nOther topics: apples vs. tomatoes, written book vs. audio book, laptop vs. computer, US vs. Iraq, pen vs pencil...just look around the room, pick any two objects, and write about them!

Skip geology class?...j/k\n\nhere's a link to everything you never wanted to know about basalts\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalts

It depends on what class this is for.  It is always best to write about something that interests you or something that you would like to learn more about.  There are a million possible topics to choose from!

no... because i know, before my class even started the topic of year 9 geology (i think the topic is called "Reading the Earth") - and i'm in year 9, i think this is form two for other countries and can be also known as grade 9), i know that the mountain ranges in the asian area was cause by plate tectonics crashing into each other - and through the topic i'm studying right now, I learnt that the type of boundary that is between the plates is called the collosion boundary where two plates of similar thickness collide creating mountain ranges as the ground is pushed upwards and downwards.

Check out www.ClassTopic.com   They have some great topics that I've used in the past.  Each topic has three good sources to get you started on the research, too.

This is a great way to begin understanding the different forces that shape the land.  It is important to remember how the rocks came to be found, Metamorphic rocks from Michigan that may have been dug up from a deep quarry or found on the surface exposed by glacial action.  In N Carolina they could be sedimentary rocks exposed by water erosion.  In Florida they could very likely be calcium carbonate deposited by ancient coral reefs.  A simple understanding of these and other rock forming processes would make a prize winning 4th grade report.  Good Luck!

1) sandstone, shale, conglomerate (by size of clasts)\n2) mainly carbonates (limestone, dolomite)\n3) c\n4) b\n5) Not sure... maybe b, because it can be organic or non-organic?

Every country has something interesting geologically!  They're all so different!\n\nTake Canada for example - oldest rocks in the world!  We've got diamond pipes in the north, oil sands in the centre, earthquakes out west, and all kinds of other great stuff.\n\nTake Iceland - a hotspot sitting on the centre of the mid-atlantic ridge - they generate the majority of their power by geothermal energy!\n\nTake Italy - an intensely volcanically active area that has been exceedingly well-studied, and one of the only areas in the world where you can generate carbonatites AND pantellerites (rare volcanic rocks).\n\nThe US was already mentioned, and you could continue the list for almost any country - they're all different, exciting and unique!
