Is there really more to be found? If so, how will we do it?.pptx

La Estratigrafía de secuencias enfatiza las relaciones de facies y la arquitectura de los estratos dentro de una estructura cronológica. La falta de estandarización refleja la existencia que refleja la existencia de modelos que llegan a confundir su terminología.

2. What are Geologists? In Saint Ronan’s Well by Sir Walter Scott, written in 1823, Meg Dodds, the prickly landlady of Cleikum Inn, refers to those of her guests who: “rin uphill and down dale, knapping the chucky stanes to pieces wi’ hammers, like sae mony road-makers run daft, to see how the world was made”
