Some branches of the Science of Geology, are pretty heavy in math and physics. Hydrogeology, Seismology, Geophysics and Structural Geology are some of them.
Here we present you the 10 equations that a Geology Student should know and use.
The most important law in Hydrogeology, by far. When your professor ...

In the last few posts we saw what our predecessors were thinking about earthquakes. From buried Titans shaking the earth while moving, to excessive drought that made ground to rupture. In other theories, air was blamed for earthquakes as long as animals.
Apart from these ancient and slightly funny theories, people believed that that ruptures ...

In the last three posts we are talking about earthquakes. We started from Ancient Greek mythological interpretations, and then we spoke about early theories. Thales’ theory was next and then the Anaximenes and Democritus duo. In the latest post, Aristotle was the man of the hour and his “Air” theory.
Today we jump more than ...

In our last two posts we mentioned some Ancient-Greek theories about earthquake generation. Thales’ was first and then Democritus’ and Anaximenes’.
A few years later, Aristotle after studying these earthquake theories, disagreed and made his own.
We could sum up his theory in this sentence: “When a very large amount of wind gets built up ...

In our last post, we described P Waves, their formula, and Thale’s of Miletus theory of earthquake generation.
Today we are going to discuss the theories of two other famous “ancient” fellas. Anaximenes and Democritus.
Anaximenes, was an Ancient Greek Pre-Socratic philosopher active in the latter half of the 6th century BC. One of ...
In June we discussed the theories in Earthquake prediction. Last week we wrote about Lame’s first parameter and Enceladus, the Mythical guy that causes earthquakes when moving underground.
Despite the fact that ancient Greeks were blaming Enceladus for any earth tremors in their stories, the great minds of that era were speculating a lot ...
Greek Mythology! Great stories, with great twists and many awkward and hardcore stuff that make Game of Thrones look like a Family sitcom.
One of the great stories is the one with the Gigantomachy. Long story-short, some Giants gathered and thought that it would be a great idea, to fight the Greek Gods and take ...
Well, we all know what an earthquake is, and pretty much how it occurs.
Everyone who has experienced a scary earthquake, wonders if we ever find a way to predict them. Geologists have some theories, but unfortunately, none of them really delivers what is needed. And what is needed is an accurate prediction of earthquakes ...
