There are certain technical screw-ups in the geology glossary. It's not even that you've got it wrong, it's that it's
formatted wrong.
Let me give you an example. Here's your definition of "abrasion":
Abrasion The mechanical wearing away of a rock by friction, rubbing, scraping, or grinding. absolute time Geologic time measured in a specific duration of years (in contrast to relative time, which involves only the chronologic order of events).
You see what you've done wrong? What it ought to look like is this:
Abrasion The mechanical wearing away of a rock by friction, rubbing, scraping, or grinding.
Absolute time Geologic time measured in a specific duration of years (in contrast to relative time, which involves only the chronologic order of events).
We can see this again in the definitiom of the word "atom". According to the glossary, the definition is:
Atom The smallest unit of an element. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. attitude The three-dimensional orientation of a bed, fault, dike, or other geologic structure. It is determined by the combined measurements of the dip and the strike of a structure.
Obviously what it
should look like is this:
Atom The smallest unit of an element. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Attitude The three-dimensional orientation of a bed, fault, dike, or other geologic structure. It is determined by the combined measurements of the dip and the strike of a structure.
These are my criticisms
of the letter A. I shudder to think how often you've screwed up the other 25 letters of the alphabet.
