living creatures‚ but many do not realize how toxic it can be to non-living objects. “Acid rain leads to deterioration of rocks such as limestone and marble (globalwarmingandu.com)”. Acid rain will corrode the rock surface which dissolves the material and then they will be carried away. We tested acid on different types of rocks. The hypothesis is that the sedimentary rock will have the largest change in mass. After a certain degree‚ acid rain is capable of damaging the entire environment. It

Porphyritic granite Porphyritic granite is an igneous rock‚ which consists of orthoclase feldspar‚ quartz and orthoclase. This type of rock is made up of two different grain sizes‚ larger crystals referred to as phenocrysts‚ and smaller granite sized grains. The name for porophyritic originated from the Latin word porphyry which is defined as purple‚ and is known as a color royalty. This rock has been used as early as 18 AD and was discovered by a Roman legionnaire named Cauius Cominius.

The Origin of the Earth‚ One of God’s Hidden Secrets “Much of geology is pure speculation and is as such on the same basis as philosophy‚ or must be accepted on faith‚ as the truths of theology” (Rehwinkel 177). For geologists this means that any theory of how the Earth‚ atmosphere and life originated‚ takes faith to believe‚ whether it is the evolutionist’s view or the creationist’s view. Creationists believe that the Earth was created 6000-7000 years ago. This number is based on what the Bible

On the Digermulen Peninsula‚ the succession starts with the classic Neoproterozoic glacial tillite of the Mortensnes Formation (Fig. 3). This tillite has traditionally been tentatively correlated by many workers (e.g.‚ Rice et al. 2011‚ and references therein) with the type ’Gaskiers’ glaciogenic succession in Newfoundland‚ which is between 584 and 582 Ma old‚ based on zircon U–Pb ages from intercalated ash beds (Bowring et al. 2002). The Mortensnes Formation is separated downwards from the ’Marinoan’

The Great Smoky Mountains The Great Smoky Mountains landform is mostly sedimentary rocks that were formed by the accumulation of sand‚ clay‚ silt‚ sand‚ gravel‚ and minor amounts of calcium carbonate in flat-lying layers. According to The Great Smoky Mountain’s website‚ about 545 million years ago the sediments were formed and large amounts of those sediments were washed down into lowland basins from adjacent highlands.

This landscape is surrounded by sedimentary rocks‚ which are rocks that are formed from by the deposition of materials at the Earth’s surface. The rock layer that is visible in the Devil’s Towner is called the Spearfish Formation. It is a reddish color because of the dark red sandstone and the maroon siltstone. The oxidation of iron in this causes the redness. These rocks were the oldest
