Bab 2. Sifat Realitas Karya Terjemahan : Science, Philosophy, and Physical Geography by Robert Inkpen. Disclaimer : Buku "Science, Philosophy, dan Physical Geography" oleh Robert Inkpen diterjemahkan oleh S.T Pradopo dalam rangka tugas mata kuliah Filsafat Ilmu Pengetahuan Program S3 Ilmu Geografi. Tidak digunakan untuk kepentingan komersial. Harap selalu mencantumkan pengarang dan sumber referensi apabila ada pihak-pihak yang ingin menggunakan. Terimakasih. Ringkasan Geografi fisik mempelajari kenyataan dianggap sebagai entitas eksternal dan dapat dipelajari. Meskipun mereka tidak pernah dapat memiliki pengetahuan mutlak terhadap realitas eksternal ini mereka dapat mengatur dan menggunakan informasi untuk berdebat dan mencapai kesepakatan tentang sifat representasi mereka tentang realitas. Positivisme logis percaya kemungkinan untuk merasakan kenyataan sebagaimana galibnya dan bahwa mungkin untuk menemukan hukum yang sebenarnya mengenai entitas riil melalui informasi sensor. Penelitian diarahkan untuk membuktikan realitas sebagaimana seperti yang kita percaya itu harus menjadi. Rasionalisme kritis mengambil pandangan yang lebih kritis dari pencarian atas sebuah realitas. Para rasionalis kritis melihat pengujian dan memalsukan ide sebagai fitur penting dari penelitian ilmiah. Pengetahuan tidak...

UNDERSTANDING OUR PLANET Q/A #6 - What geologic processes might cause the forces that can hold a region out of isostatic equilibrium? - On a geological scale, isostasy can be observed where the Earth's strong lithosphere exerts stress on the weaker asthenosphere which, over geological time flows laterally such that the load of the lithosphere is accommodated by height adjustments. It was ascertained that disturbances of the isostatic equilibrium are the result of the active geotectonic process and that isostatic forces are passive as tectonic factor. In the geological time scale the readjustment takes place instantaneously, therefore isostatic anomalies of gravity may be considered as direct indications of the modern tectonic activity. However, some continental collisions are far more complex than this, and the region may not be in isostatic equilibrium. Certain areas (such as the Himalayas) are not in isostatic equilibrium, in the case of the Himalayas, by proposing that their elevation is being "propped-up" by the force of the...

UNDERSTANDING OUR PLANET Q/A #5 – Why asthenosphere is important to understand the dynamic of Earth’s crust?

by S.T. PradopoNo Comments
UNDERSTANDING OUR PLANET Q/A #5 - Why asthenosphere is important to understand the dynamic of Earth’s crust? - Asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle which is partially molten, a relatively narrow, and mobile zone of the mantle. The asthenosphere is a weak zone, formed of mostly solid rock (with perhaps a little magma mixed in), and flows very slowly, in a manner similar to the ice at a bottom of a glacier. The rigid lithosphere is believed to "float" or move about on the slowly flowing asthenosphere....
