A joint is defined as a fracture in a rock between the sides of which there is no observable relative movement. They are present is most consolidated rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary origin. Joints may form as a result of either diastrophism or contraction. Description: (i) A series of parallel joints is called a ’joint set’. (ii) Two or more joint sets intersecting each other produce a ’joint system’. (iii) Two sets of joints nearly at right angles to one another‚ produced by the

started the rock and roll revolution. Most would say Elvis and others might disagree. Rock and roll to me is as the words sound‚ but written into lyrics of a song. Rock is an object that is hard and its shaped in many different was. Roll metaphorically speaking is ever going‚ like a ball rounding down the hill‚ which needs friction to continue rolling on. Songs with a strong vocal edge and hard-hitting musical instruments are what make rock and roll different then rhythm and blues. R&B is more of

The role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rock is extremely important. Igneous rock is formed from magma that reaches the continental and oceanic crust or through hot spots that are around the world. There are three different places where igneous rocks can form; where the lithospheric

Minerals and Rocks Minerals Minerals: Minerals are elements or compounds found in the earth. The elements or compounds are called minerals if they have five features. They are solids. They are formed naturally in the earth. They have the same chemical makeup throughout They are not alive or made of living things. They have definite arrangement of atoms. 3‚000 different minerals are found in the earth. Some are common but most are rare. Aluminum‚ quartz‚ feldspar

Italian zefiro from Arabic صفر‚ ṣafira = "it was empty"‚ ṣifr = "zero"‚ "nothing". This was a translation of the Sanskrit word shoonya (śūnya)‚ meaning "empty". The first known English use was in 1598.[4][5][6][7] ------------------------------------------------- History Mesopotamia By the middle of the 2nd millennium BC‚ the Babylonian mathematics had a sophisticated sexagesimal positional numeral system. The lack of a positional value (or zero) was indicated by a space between sexagesimal numerals

Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. To begin‚ igneous rocks come from magma‚ and magma is related to plate tectonics. Magmas differ in composition‚ temperature and viscosity. This is a major identifier of igneous rocks‚ is that they were once molten and magma Plate tectonics are the theory that the Earth’s lithosphere‚ which is the outer rigid shell is composed of several different pieces‚ or “plates” that float on a ductile

Metamorphic Rock Metamorphism means to change form; this is exactly what metamorphic rocks do. This paper will take a look at the Earth’s rock cycle to examine exactly where the metamorphic rock fits into it. It will also look at how metamorphic rocks are formed and the relationship between metamorphic rocks and igneous rock and sedimentary rocks. This paper will examine the geological characteristics and materials of metamorphic rocks‚ and examine some examples of metamorphic rocks and will describe

A metamorphic Rock can be formed by simply being under the earth’s surface‚ being exposed to extremely high temperatures and a huge amount of pressure from the layers of rock above. These rocks can be formed by tectonic processes‚ some which include‚ continental collisions (this is a process that causes friction‚ distortion and horizontal pressure). These rocks can also be formed when rock becomes heated rapidly by the intrusion of a hot molten rock‚ (called magma) and it comes from the earth’s interior
