The Badlands formed from a complex geologic setting. The topography that we see today is formed from erosion of the soft and not well-consolidated rocks. The oldest rocks found at The Badlands National Park are the Upper Cretaceous mudstones of the Pierre Shale (Graham, 2008). Overlying the Pierre Shale is the Fox Hills Formation, and overlying the Fox Hills Formation is the Tertiary White River Group. The White River Group contains a paleosol that are bright red. Overlying the Fox Hills…

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.…

In architecture and civil engineering, sustainability plays a main role. All buildings and any construction could be potentially dangerous if they were built or designed in an inappropriate way. All structures and designs have to be safe and stable to prevent the fatal catastrophe of failing construction. The construction of any large objects, such as shopping centers, cathedrals, bridges, and other usually takes a lot of time. There are many forces that affect the designed construction and…

Gissella Fajardo Treasure of the Earth: Gems Nova The title of the documentary that we watched today was “Treasure of the Earth: Gems Nova”. The intended audience is anyone that is interested on learning about gems like rubies, diamonds and sapphires.The purpose of the documentary is to inform the audience about gemstones. I didn’t know specific information about gemstones. During the documentary I learned that near the Earth's surface many gemstones are formed when…

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…

sure my admiration for progressive rock concept albums started back when I began seriously getting into collecting record albums. As a kid in my single digits, and entering my teens, I had 45's of whatever bubble gum / novelty songs that caught my ear. At around age twelve, from hanging out with my school friends, and sometimes their older siblings, I became exposed to more of what they were playing on the FM radio stations, then the AM ones. Bottom line, rock n' roll was my thing. I'm drawn…

Twenty One Pilots began in 2009 by high school friends Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas, and Chris Salih. Thomas and Salih left the band in 2011, before they left the band self-released the album Twenty One Pilots. Joseph carried on the band with Josh Dun (current drummer). They toured around the mid-west for a little and self-released album Regional At Best. In 2012 the duo signed with record label Fueled by Ramen. This label also produced bands like Green Day and Paramore. Throughout the next few…
