Sedimentary Rocks Define 2 types of weathering? • Mechanical: breaking rocks into smaller chunks o Sediment: clasts (particles or sediment) • Chemical: dissolve mierals or change rock chemistry and make new minerals o Sediment: Ions in solution Which type would result in a conglomerate? • Mechanical. What are the compositions and depositional environments of Coal and Halite? • Coal: o Comp.: plant material o Dep. Environ.: Swamp • Halite: o Comp: NaCl o Dep. Environ.: desert‚

Stone therapy has been around for a long time but has been modernised through the years and now we use naturally shaped basalt pebbles and marble pebbles that have been cut to shape to deliver hot and cold temperatures.

Apollo 11 Mission Robert Marino October 24‚ 2010 I. Introduction and Thesis Apollo 11 departed from Cape Kennedy‚ Florida Complex-39 at 9:32a.m. on July 16‚ 1969. The Lunar Module named Eagle landed in the Sea Tranquility at 4:18 p.m. EDT. The mission was simple: put a man on the Moon and return. The mission was a great success and the command and service module Columbia returned back to Earth on July 24‚ 1969 at 12:50:35 p.m. Neil Alden Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the Lunar

The Planet of Mars isbeing 142 million miles away from the sun and only forty-nine million miles away from earth. The average temperature for Earth is fifty-seven degrees fahrenheit. The average temperature for Mars is negative eighty-one degrees fahrenheit. You would think there would be no way of having life on Mars (University Today). The cool thing is scientists think Mars would be the first planet to colonize and be able to live on. Almost everyone thinks that earth has full twenty-four hour

Formation of the Philippine Islands The Indo-Australian plate is found south of the Eurasian and the Philippine Seaplates. It is generally oceanic‚ being submerged by Indian and Pacific Oceans‚ but it holds two gigantic land masses – the island continent of Australia and Indian subcontinent. Recent researches‚ however‚ show that these two land masses are moving independently of each other‚ thus‚ may actually be parts of separate plates. The Philippine Sea plate is found east of the Eurasian

These deposits include native copper and some silver in the flows and Cu2S minerals along the fractures. Copper distribution was regulated by the host rock permeability and fracturing of basalt flows and sedimentary beds. Some copper nuggets are

These volcanoes are usually composed of basalt‚ which enables them to possess a gentle slope‚ fluid and pahoehoe lava. The fluidity nature allows the volcano to not be deadly (“Geologic Hazards”‚ n.d.). The volcano consists of tholeiitic basalt (“Mauna Loa Volcano”‚ n.d.). Some of oldest rocks in the structure are from 100‚000 to 200‚000 years ago (“Mauna Loa Earth’s”‚ n.d.). It is currently

Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components
