leaves and the light grayish blue rocks, and the small touch of yellow flower on the right side of the photograph, the combination of the color adds drama and it gives balance to the whole picture. The texture of the rock from the picture looks…
type of shale rocks are chosen because they are “local” rocks which was abundant and available in the lab, also they have very similar mineralogical compositions. Both of the shale samples are provide by the SEER lab (Abiola). Before the tests, samples are cut into piece from the core with thickness about 1 in, and polished to make the top and bottom surfaces parallel. All tests are proceed on Nanovea Indenter perpendicular to the bedding direction. As natural material, the shale rock…
1. Short summary of the history At 145 ± 4 to 66 million years (Ma) ago, Cretaceous period was the last period of the Mesozoic Era, right after Jurassic period and followed by the Paleogene period of the Cenozoic Era (International Commission Chart, 2014). 'Creta' in Latin means chalk and this is due to the large amount of calcium carbonate deposited by shells of marine animals thus resulting in large quantities of chalk (American Geological Institute, 1972). The shifting of continents as the…
intruded country rock with different igneous compositions. These compositions ranged from alkaline to mafic to rhyolitic based on their interactions as they made their way to the surface with country rock. Mafic magma interacts well with host rock while rhyolitic magma does not due to its high viscosity.…

CMRJ341 Professor Jennifer Bourgeois October 18, 2015 Impact radial fracture lines ends shortly after the earlier impacts. In this case, bullet (C) was the first shot followed by (B) And lastly (A). In order to figure out the order of bullets is figuring out the radial fractures is looking at the initial fracture. Bullet fractures are round and has the same shape as a wheel. Fractures Also connects in the shape of a spider web. Then you have to figure out which side the fragment is facing in…
summer every year. It was my favorite place. We finally arrived, after what felt like centuries, to the enormous dam that severed the lake into a rushing river. I knew we were there. Time went even slower as we approached the shed-like office of the camp grounds. My dad exchanged a few words with the workers before taking off into the populated campsite. We searched carefully at…
conceptual. For example, he uses the theories of economics, that the goal of capitalism is to make a profit, produce commodities, and focus on the exchange values rather than the use-values. His arguments for rock versus disco are purely concept based and have no statistical backing, stating that rock is ‘quite expensive…. Largely by middle class who could afford electric guitars, music lessons, etc.’. I understand that it might be difficult to obtain numbers on this, as he instead states to…
