Geology
Geology () is a branch of natural science concerned with Earth and other astronomical objects, the features or rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Modern geology significantly overlaps all other Earth sciences, including hydrology, and so is treated as one major aspect of integrated Earth system science and planetary science. Geology describes the structure of the Earth on and beneath its surface, and the processes that have shaped that structure. It also provides tools to determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks found in a given location, and also to describe the histories of those rocks. By combining these tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole, and also to demonstrate the age of the Earth. Geology provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and the Earth's past climates. Geologists broadly study the properties and processes of E ...

Cossinia
''Cossinia'' is a genus of four species of rainforest trees, constituting part of the plant family Sapindaceae. The genus has a disjunct distribution, occurring in Mascarene Islands, Australia, New Caledonia and Fiji. They grow naturally in rainforests, including seasonally drought–prone rainforests, and associated non–fire–adapted vegetation types. ''Cossinia trifoliata'' trees, endemic to New Caledonia, have become vulnerable to global extinction according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s 1998 assessment. ''Cossinia australiana'' trees, endemic to restricted habitat areas of central-eastern and southeastern Queensland, Australia, have the official national and Queensland state governments' "endangered" conservation status. Within their known endemic region the trees grow naturally in habitats which have historically had their native vegetation extensively destroyed and have been further threatened. Naming and classification The genus was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Claudia (crater)
Claudia is a small (700 meter) crater that defines the prime meridian of asteroid 4 Vesta in the coordinate system used by the ''Dawn'' mission team, NASA, and the IAU ''Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature'', though it is not accepted by the IAU as a whole. It is located at 1.6°S and 4.0°W.Claudia crater ''Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature'', retrieved 2012-09-15 Claudia was chosen because it is small, sharply defined, easy to find, and near the equator. The prime meridian runs 4° to the west. This results in a more logical set of mapping quadrants than the IAU coordinate system, which drifts over time due to an error in calculating the position of the pole, and is based on the 200 km Olbers Regio, which is so poorly defined that it is not even visible to the ''Dawn'' spacecraft. ...

Charito
Charito (flourished mid-4th century AD) was a Roman Empress, consort of Jovian, Roman Emperor.
