Mini-Literature Review The Ox Mountain range is in County Sligo. ‘’The Ox Mountains lie along Sligo’s border with Co. Mayo’’(Libraries 2010). A strip of ancient rocks - gneiss‚ schist and granite - form the bedrock of the Ox Mountains’’(Geological 2016). The uplands of the Ox Mountains are wild and mainly covered by blanket bog. Some parts of the Ox Mountains are heavily forested. To the north and south of the Ox Mountains is farmland that is mainly underlain by Carboniferous Limestone and Sandstone

submit this assignment to your teacher by the due date for full credit. In this laboratory experiment‚ you will write a narrative history of a rock section found in the Grand Canyon. You will describe and explain the events starting with the Vishnu Schist forming and ending with the unconformity above the Redwall Limestone in the Mississippian. Your description should include environmental changes. Example: Sea level lowered‚ and the Esplanade Sandstone was deposited in a beach environment. Erosion

rocks found in Grand Canyons are quartzite‚ schists‚ gneiss‚ phyllite‚ marble‚ and slate. The Vishnu Schist formed from metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. During the phase of Vischnu schist being formed‚ it went through metamorphism and then faulting lead to a partial rifting of the continent. The collision expanded the continent‚ expanded the crust’s thickness and created the Mazatzal Mountains‚ which is in the Grand Canyon region

There are three main rock types present in Ireland: Igneous‚ sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from molten rock. Sedimentary rocks are rocks which have formed due to the gradual accumulation of sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have once existed as igneous or sedimentary rocks but changed due to great heat or pressure. Over the course of my essay‚ I will account for five rocks found in Ireland and there probable rock forming conditions. Granite
