Re: [Geology2] Hello all....

Lauren,

Welcome to the group!

We're glad to see new blood joining the group and such that is actively interested in Geology.

I have invited you to join California Disasters Group.

You would find the group as a nice supplement to this one and members there would do well to join this group.

Hello all~ Very impressive writing, Rick.   I'm new here. I'm 65, female and live in a great state for geology - Colorado. I live in an eastern suburb of Aurora. I've been interested in geology since taking a geology course at the University of Colorado. We went up into the mountains to do studying of geological formations and I've done some fossil diggings.   I look forward to getting back on track and reading more about one of my favorite subjects.  Oh, also lived in L.A. for 15 years and unfortunately lived through several earthquakes so made myself aware of fault lines, plate tectonics, etc.  One of my favorite books is "Assembling California" by John McPhee (wouldn't have hurt him to have included a photo or two or even a graphic, but....no).   Lauren         -------Original Message-------   From: Rick Bates Date: 5/18/2010 10:15:20 AM To: geology2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Geology2] Fwd: Earth Formation   Then we will disagree and let this discussion die off. The planet is NOT alive.  It is made up of rock, minerals and chemical compounds, none of which exhibit any signs of life.  The planet has life in and on it, but it is itself not living.  It does not alter (grow/shrink) in mass, does not exhibit ANY form of reproduction (a basic life requirement) or self generated energy (earthquakes are the result of planetary cooling and other gravitational and orbital dynamics) and shows NO reaction to any outside influence not explainable by physics or chemistry.  This is well documented and provable over many centuries of research.  Perhaps it is different on Pandora, but planet Earth itself is NOT alive.  Planet Earth exhibits NO signs of life whatsoever. I would frankly think that if it were alive, it would be plenty ticked off at the insults inflicted upon it by the surface dwellers.  It shows no reaction. Here ends the discussion and let's get back to science until such time that you can document and prove that the planet is alive and drawing energy (it is exposed to solar energy, but shows no reaction to it whatsoever) from ANY source.    This group is about science, not fantasy (although Avatar is an intriguing and fun movie). Rick www.HappyMoosePhoto.com Wildlife and scenic images   From: Suresh Bansal I have already mentioned in my earlier mails that earth is a living organism like a tree with having bark around it. this bark is dead skin of earth that is why we are not aware that earth is living thing like a tree.but we have aproach upto bark of earth only not real skin.    earth is also taking energy from sun and universe. here universe is like a soil for earth or any planets.actually this is totally different and odd theory than we have learnet in past so it is difficult to understand on this board.personally discussion can help to more convient to me. regs  suresh   001 4045793457 On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Rick Bates <HappyMoosePhoto@gmail.com> wrote:
