2) testing; 4) I wouldn't know that if your previous question hadn't suggested time.

Thanks to all you have helped me, But I'm still pulling my hair out. PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS THE ANSWERS TO THESE IT WOULD GREATLY SAVE ME.

2. A theory which unites many related subdisciplines or theories, i.e. Plate tectonics.(8Letters) with an "E" as the 7th. Letter.

4. The earth sciences are called ____ (10 Letters) sciences in that the element of time is important. with a "T" as the 4th letter.

If you read no. 4) it says time is an important element in earth science. So then look at no. 3) which asks for a four letter word beginning with t that is the most important factor for earth sciences. Umm, could it be "time"?

1) change

How many letters in 2) ?

4) could possibly be historical

UNIFYING has 8 letters and fits the clue, but lacks the E as the penultimate letter, could that E be wrong?

Actually Question #2 needs to be corrected!

2. A theory which unites many related subdisciplines or theories, i.e. Plate tectonics.(8Letters) with an "R" as the 7th. Letter.

3.The earth sciences are called___(10 Letters) sciences in that the element of time is important. with "H" as the first letter and "T" as the 4th Letter

sorry for the mix up, this puzzle has me at my wits ends.

Why do you keep changing the numbering of the questions?

2. is probably "urtheory"

3. is "historical" (as previously stated)
