Biogenous meaning ‘made up of life’‚ is composed of the hard and rock-like parts of dead organisms‚ such as the teeth and bones. The reason why geologists believe that Death Valley was once a shallow‚ warm sea is because limestone is typically formed and found in shallow parts of the

investigate the mechanism of seismic imaging technology. This technology sends the shockwaves to underground to know if there is crude oil and other natural gases beneath the ground. In this way geologists calculates how much amount of oil and gases are available in that area of earth’s surface. As per chevron geologists‚ oil and gas are normally formed in the areas known as reservoir rocks. These are rocks including sandstones which are unique and holds the oil and gas between the grains of sandstones. So

The Eruption of Mount Pinatubo On the 15th June of 1991‚ the second largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century took place on the island of Luzon in the Philippines‚ 90 km northwest of the capital city Manila. It was also‚ by far‚ the largest eruption to affect a densely populated area. Mount Pinatubo‚ a stratovolcano‚ is part of a chain of volcanoes along the Luzon arc on the west coast (refer map). The arc of volcanoes is due to the subduction of the Manila trench to the west. The mountain

live with eruptions‚ but science was late in recognizing the important roleof volcanism in the evolution of the Earth.One major 18th-century school of thoughtheld that molten rock and volcanoes were simply accidents caused by burning coal seams. Geologists today agree that volcanism is a profound process resultingfrom the thermal evolution of planetary bodies. Heat does not easily escape from large bodies by conduction or radiation. Instead‚ partial melting and buoyant rise of magma are major contributors

Everyone leaves a mark. It could be anywhere on anything on anyone. These marks can be big or small. They can affect anyone in a different way. And so‚ they make an impression‚ an impression that does not go away. For many people these “marks” were in the arts‚ because the culture was so embedded into the arts. And from these arts‚ whether it was a painting or a book‚ there were a so-called glow that engulfed the people of this time. They were left‚ intentional or not‚ for the people who desperately
