PPT-Wind as a Geologic Agent

Lecture 3 collected by Maher M Mahdi Global wind system Wind has been important agent in shaping the landscape at times when the continents were drier and windier places than they are today. GEOL 2110. Lecture 2. Scales of Time and Change. Major Concepts. Geological events cover huge amounts of time that are hard to grasp in the span of human life. We tend to focus on dramatic, short-lived geologic events that we witness and are unaware of subtle, but geologically important events . 01: . Geologic Time . Scale.

A health care agent is a person you choose to make health care decisions and choices for you if you are not able to make them yourself. You may choose an agent by completing a document called a health care proxy..
