    This document summarizes several important scientists in earth science: 1) James Hutton established the principles of uniformitarianism to explain geological features through natural processes over time. 2) Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection and introduced how evolution results from this process. 3) Andrija Mohorovicic observed seismic waves and discovered the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle, now known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity. 4) Beno Gutenberg proved the existence of the earth's core by studying seismic wave refraction and reflection patterns.

    Earth Scienc e

    JAMES HUTTON
    "The father of Modern Geology,Scottish
    Naturalist".Scottish geologist,chemist,naturalist, and
    originator of one of the fundamental principles of
    geology-uniformitarianism,explains the features of
    the earth's crust of natural processes over geologic
    time.

    CHARLES DARWIN
    (Feb.12,1809-apr.19,1882)
    Was an English Naturalist,geologist,and biologist.
    He discovered the Theory of Evolution by natural
    selection
    He introduced his scientific theory that is branching
    pattern of evolution resulted from a process he
    called natural section.

    ANDRIJA
    MOHOROVICIC
    Mohorovicic(1857-1936)
    A pioneer developed the science of seismology in
    early 20th century.Observe the seismic waves
    that gave us the concept of the earth's
    mantle.Also showed us that the earth are layered.
    He was also trained in mathematics and physics
    but get interested in meteorology. He determined
    the boundary between the crust and the mantle
    which is now called the Mohorovicic discontinuity.

    BENO GUTENBERG
    Guternberg prove the excistence of the earth core.
    He recognized the P-wave shadow zone due to the
    refraction and reflection of primary waves by the earth
    molten core. He also discover the S-wave shadow zone
    resulted from absorbtion of the secondary waves by the
    liquid core.Information allowed him to calculate that the
    earth core began 1800 mile(2880km),the core-mantle was
    named after him and is know as the Guternburg
    Discontinuity.
    Also well know for contributing and editing the Handbuch
    der Geophysik(Mitchell).

    INGE LEHMANN
    Discovered the inner core of earth in 1936 by using the
    seismic wave data.
    Originally trained in mathematics,working as a
    seismologist in the mid-1920's and continued for
    50years.
    She is a seismology, Lehmann discontinuity is a abrupt
    increase of P-wave and S-wave velocities at the depth
    of 220 km(140 mi).

    ALEXANDER
    OPARIN
    Was a soviet biochemist, his theory is all about the
    origin of life and for his book "The Origin of Life".
    He also studied biochemistry of material
    processing by plants and enzyme reactions in
    plant cells.
    Oparin suggests that "life arose gradually from
    inorganic molecules with (building blocks ) like
    amino acids forming first and the combining to
    make complex polymers.

    STANLEY MILLER &


    HAROLD UREY
    Did an experiment to test the Oparin and Haldane's
    ideas. They found that a the organic molecules could
    be a spontaneously produced under reducing
    conditions thought to resemble those early earth.
    Stanley Miller performed an experiment that explains
    what occured on primitive earth billion years ago.
    They also observed the formation of the amino acids
    and proteins, they demonstrate that the amino acid
    are the important building blocks of biological
    proteins.
