MY VOCAB PRACTICE
When I was in college, I maintained friendship with many geology students.
In my family, all the brothers graduated from the university and one of my sisters is a geologist
When camping, it is important to know the geography of the area
The planet Earth was still considered the center of the universe through the geocentric theory if it had not been replaced by the heliocentric theory.
Some geothermal aquifer tributaries are used as spas for the healing properties of water
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
1-Geology
I am interested to read about geology.
2-Geologist
My friend is an experienced geologist.
3-Geography
Geography and physics are my favorite subjects.
4-Geocentric
Heliocentric theory proved geocentric theory wrong.
5-Geothermal
We should try to use geothermal energy on high scale.
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
1 Geology
Geology was my favorite subject
2 Geologist
I am professional geologist.
3 Geography
Economic corridor increased the geography of my country.
4 Geocentric
Geocentric theory is based on the assumption that the Earth is the center of the universe.
5 Geothermal
Geothermal is a good source of producing electrical energy.
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
Geology is a very intresting subject.
Geologist should be capable in his field of work.
I like hostory and geography.
What do you know about geocentric orbit?
What is the total geothermal heat flow per year?
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
Systemic paradigm shifts are measured like geological movements as waves.
Geologists must have vast knowledge of the earths elements in order to determine the compounds of rocks.
Geography is a compounded word, formed by the Greek "Geo", which means Earth, and "Graphein", that means Graph or Mapping.
Even with all the advances in geographical science over the past centuries, there are a rather big percentage of people who have a geocentric point of view and think that the Earth is the center of the galaxy.
It is a common thought that geothermal energy may be the key of the colonization of Mars.
Good work!
And there are even some people who believe the earth is flat.
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
Geology
That's a metamorphic rock. I know since I took geology class.
Geologist
I'm not an engineer, I'm a geologist who loves design.
Geography
You know I won't have time, I have geography exam that day.
Geocentric
Humans like to believe the universe is geocentric. We are less significant than insects.
Geothermal
Geothermal energy is the future!!
Geo, I love this word.
I don't believe the fourth one, I believe that we humans have some meaning one way or another... But that's a philosophical topic for another day.
Good work!
I agree. But I love the fact that you can compose such an interesting statement as #4. And in certain ways, humans may be less significant than bugs.
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
Geology was made into the most boring subject when I was attending school.
Geologist of today are opening up to the fact that plants and crystals can speak to us.
Can the I Ching said to be a good source if one wants to learn about geography?
Geocentric views of the past went largely unchallenged by the “thinkers” of the day because to go against the WORD of “God” was punishable by death.
Sally, the geothermal equipment has show us that this spot is a volcano about ready to erupt.
Good work!
What was the geothermal equipment – a seismograph or a simple thermometer?!?
Not a clue. I made it up thinking that there might be a tool that can detect when a volcano is going to erupt.
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
My geology class was canceled because the professor was on leave.
The geologists are those who discover the fossils and fuels in the earth.
I found the geography of Russia very interesting.
The geocentric is the theoretical center of the earth.
Earth is continuously releasing heat from its formation which is known as geothermal energy.
Good work!
