The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.
<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>
The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.
Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

Hutton: created the idea that a (water erosion basically)continuing process formed and destroyed the rocks and soils of the Earth and that the process was a never ending loop.
Hutton laid the conceptual foundation for uniformitarianism geology
Lyell: added names and ages to the different layers of rocks
Lyell built the structure of geology upon that foundation
Non living things like mountains,oxygen,water.etc
Bryophytes never form xylem tissue, the special lignin- containing, water-conducting tissue that is found in the sporophytes of all vascular plants.
Crossing over at prophase I results in the linked genes (those on the same chromosome) becoming unlinked and separated. Prophase I is this first stage of meiosis, the chromosomes condense, form tetrads, and exchange DNA. The nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear.
