    The second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust other than oxygen is silicon which if by mass is around 25.7g or 23%. However in nature, silicon never exist as a free or pure element but instead it mostly combines with the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, oxygen, hence producing silica (SiO₂) or silicate minerals. The most prominent charge of Si in the crust is +4 rather than +2 which involve a silicon atom to bond in a tetrahedral manner with 4 other oxygen atoms giving rise to…

    not an acceptable excuse for using a racial slur in describing someone because people shouldn’t use a word that they have no idea what it means.

    region evidently experienced uplift. This uplift was due to a mountain building episode that occurred between the Silurian and the mid-metazoic. This event occurred when a continental crust collided with oceanic crust, at a convergent boundary, it causes crust to displace inland on the continental crust while the oceanic crust falls below the other plate via subduction. When subduction occurs the pressure from below causes volcanoes and mountains to form further inland. This would also explain…

    continental weathering during the formation of the Great Unconformity. For example, the average 87Sr/86Sr of sea water increased during the Neoproterozoic (Fig. 4). This long-term signal is attributable to the increasing concentration of 87Sr in continental crust due to the decay of 87Rb, and to the long-term erosion and progressive exposure of 87Sr-rich granitic rocks required to form the Great Unconformity. During the Cambrian, 87Sr/86Sr increased more rapidly to achieve a 900 Myr maximum…
