Methodology

May 20th 2013 a group of students from Meadowbrook High School embarked on a trip to accumulate information on limestone for their geography SBA. On this trip they journeyed to the parish Of St. Catherine to visit 5 different locations, these are: Bog walk bridge, Ty Dixon, Lluidas Vale, Moneague, Worthy Park. There were various ways in which we used to Obtain Information, for example they used media device which they used to take pictures of the different landforms visited, Tape measures to measure heights and distances and papers , pencils and pens were also used to sketch landforms and to write down important information that would useful in the SBA.

Acknowledgement

First off I would like to thank god for giving me the strength to get through this SBA and also my mother for keeping me focused and providing the necessities needed for the completion of this project. Without these nothing would be possible

Aim of Study

Is to identify and explain the processes that led to the formation of limestone features in Ty Dixon, Lluidas Vale and moneague.

Lluidas Vale and Worthy Park

A polje is a large, flat-floored depression within karsts limestone, whose long axis develops in parallel with major structural trends and can become several miles long, the limestone feature polje can be found in Lluidas Vale. Numerous amounts of tower karsts can be found in this area and cave are also located in these karsts. The soil in the area is very rich because numerous plants were grown here. Commercial arable farming is being practiced in this area. The tower karsts is about 60 meters high, And there are about tower karst in the area.

    This site is located approximately 5 km SE from the axis of the Nittany Valley Anticline, and 9 km SW of Site 5. This site is an outcrop of a greyish-red, fine-grained, heavily crossbedded sandstone from the Juniata Formation. The formation outcrops along the northwest facing flank of an incised valley along a dirt access road. Measurable units are not readily available at ground level. Measurements were taken along a 45 m accent. On the ascent a visual observation of the bedding planes revealed that at higher elevation the dip began to trend in a more shallow direction.…

    At Old Harry/Ballard Point and at Durlston Head are outcrops of rocks resistant to erosion. The chalk escarpment which bends from St Oswald's Bay eastwards to Old Harry increases in width to produce steep 60 metre cliffs. Erosion at the chalk headland of Ballard Point has produced stacks, wave cut platforms, notches, caves and arches.…

    The plain of Holderness did not exist before the Ice Age. It was once a wide bay backed by chalk cliffs running from Flamborough Head to Hessle, west of the city of Hull. Today Holderness is made up of glacial tills – sands and clays deposited by ice sheets during the Ice Age (Figure 4). The tills are soft and unstable and have little resistance to erosion. The low cliffs repeatedly slump down along rotational slip planes, lubricated by water which reduces friction and makes the sands and clays slip easily. The sea washes the slumped material away. This rapid coastal retreat will continue until the old buried cliff-line along the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds is once again exposed. This is composed of much more resistant chalk rock, which will again form impressive white cliffs such as those north of Bridlington.…

    This article by Kevin Budd is based on a stone circle in Southwest England. This particular arrangement of stones is known as The Merry Maidens. Though the stone circle Merry Maidens may not be as widely known as other stone circles, it is still quite interesting and unique nonetheless. Merry Maidens is a late neolithic stone circle located two miles south of the village of St Buryan in the United Kingdom. It is less popular than renowned Stonehenge and considerably smaller in size.The Merry Maidens is one of the few true stone circles in Cornwall which is very unusual for this area. Merry Maids consists of large stones arranged in a manner that are certainly not consistent with natural formations. Although there are a few researchers that…

The Gneudna Formation and associated unite are found in the Merlinleigh Sub- basin of the Southern Carnarvon Bain. The formations range from Mid to Late Devonian in age and consists of limestones, siltstone, sandstone and horizons of dolomite. The Gnuedna Formation can be divided into 3 facies types, based on the varying type of fossils found in each section, this will be discussed…

    In many places rock units can be described, grouped together, given similar characteristics, and placed into lithofacies. These lithofacies are important for interpreting the past depositional settings of the rock units. At the Cemex Quarry, we went through three stratigraphic columns, describing the different rock layers, and placed them into distinct lithofacies.…

    The Forest Hill Formation

    Forest Hill’s type locality is badly weathered and slumped, making accurate descriptions of the lithology and measurements of the thickness difficult. A pilot hole was drilled to a depth of 100 feet at Forest Hill. A second hole was cored to a depth of 78 feet piercing weathered Glendon limestone, Mint Spring marl, and the Forest Hill and bottoming in the upper part of the Yazoo clay. The core can be seen in figure 1. The thickness of the Forest Hill Formation varies from around 72 to 145 feet in the west-central to southeastern Mississippi area. The thickness in the Wayne County ranges from 45 to 128 feet. Forest Hill’s variable thickness is an attribute that holds true throughout its outcrop belt in Mississippi. The Forest Hill abruptly thins at the Alabama state line from 104 feet thick to 9 feet thick. The formation is absent in the Jackson, Alabama area (SEGSA,…

    This research is done to bring together data found by other parties concerning the Womble Shale Formation. The Womble Shale Formation is located in Arkansas, the Ouachita Mountains, and Southern Oklahoma; it was named however for its outcrop seen in Norman, Arkansas (Used to be known as Womble, Arkansas). The age of the Womble Shale Formation has been correlated to Middle Ordovician in age due to fossils found within its shale and limestone layers. The two fossils found in these layers were the graptolites and conodonts. The lithology of this formation from outcrops that have been examined shows evidence that the top layers of this formation are chert, followed by a rather large middle section of fissile shale, with thin beds of limestone…

    The perfect Psammosere consists of an Embryo Dune, the smallest dune at pH 8 and consisting of a little vegetation. Next is the Fore Dune slightly bigger consisting of more vegetation. Then there is the Yellow Dune and the Grey Dune, which are less sheltered and have lots of grasses on about 80% coverage. There is then a drop in height to the Dune Slack which often has water lying in a puddle as it goes below sea level. Because of the puddle of water it attracts water loving plants. Finally there is the Mature Dune consisting of trees; often birch and oak. The Mature Dune is the final dune of the Psammosere.…
