This paper describes a unifying concept of rupturology proceeding from the essential role of geotectonics and morphotectonics with regard to the evolution of the Earth and its crust.

The year 1912 is annus mirabilis for Earthsciences. In two crucial papers Alfred Wegener and Milutin Milanković independently set up revolutionary theories based on far-reaching visions of continental drift and climate orbital forcing
. Their contributions simultaneously did for the Earthsciences what the theory of evolution did for biology and what the theory of relativity did for physics. This paper follows the strange synchronicity in their life and work cycles. - (IKR)

In this essay, the A. tells Symmes's story by dissecting his Circular No.1 : Earth is hollow, and habitable within; containing a number of solid concentric spheres, one within the other, and that it is open at the poles 12 or 16 degrees; and placing
it in the context of early 19th century American science. This provides a context for considering the influence that Symmes and his theory had on American science and culture.

The aim of this review is to introduce some key examples showing the role of Earth surface processes, the traditional subject of geomorphology, within the interacting Earth system. The paper considers three examples of environmental systems in which
geomorphology plays a key role: (1) links between topography, tectonics, and atmospheric circulation; (2) links between geomorphic processes and biogeochemical cycles; and (3) links between biological processes and the Earth’s surface. In conclusion, key
A comparison of James Hutton's Principles of Knowledge and Theory of the earth
Géologie ; Histoire de la géographie ; Hutton (James) ; Sciences de la terre ; Siècle XVIII
James Hutton (1726-1795) est considéré comme le père de la géologie moderne, bien que son ouvrage Theory of the earth garde des traces d'une tradition aristotélicienne, finaliste et anthropomorphique. (FG).

In this paper, the AA. summarize opinions of teachers who judge in their majority the information presented to the pupils still as scattered and not comprehensive. The AA. present an overview of primarily science-driven European projects in Earth
science and climate change education, and they analyze the approaches and methodologies of these projects in the context of European curricula and experiences from former studies in the field. Although the availability of high-quality and impartial
