Amphibolite is a foliated metamorphic rock. The orientation of the foliation is 251/75. It has a gneiss foliation and stripes of minerals segregation. Minerals such as white Quartz, shinny Plagioclase, green Amphibole, and pistachio green (yellowish) epidote were seen on the fresh surface. Greenschist is coarse grained metamorphic rock that contains minerals such as yellow epidote, flakes of mica and green serpentine and chlorite. Metasediments with various colors were seen such as Quartzite…

How do scientists known what the center of the earth is? There 4 ways how scientist found out about the center of the earth ( aka inner core and outer core). Answer 1: Geologists hypothesize that the Earth's center is composed of predominantly iron. The outer portion of the center, known as the "outer core", is thought to be liquid iron. While the interior portion of the center, known as the "inner core" is thought to be solid iron. Answer 2: The main evidence for the structure of the Earth…

Participating contractors will use the following equipment and apply certain retrofitting procedures to ensure that the property is earthquake resistant: Anchor bolts Anchor bolts and sill plates improve the connection between the concrete foundation and the wood framing of a house. This procedure keeps the property from sliding. Braces Braces strengthen cripple walls with plywood to prevent the house from toppling off its foundation. The…

All volcanoes are amazing to see in action. Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Stratovolcanoes, and Shield Volcanoes are different types of volcanoes with their similarities and differences. All volcanoes are magnificent features of Earth’s crust. One type of volcano is a cinder cone. “A cinder cone volcano doesn’t have any horizontal layers of solid lava flows mixed with layers of other rock,”stated on zmescience.com. Cinder cone volcanoes are sloped like a mountain, although they have a large number of…

that the earth isn’t round. Newton's research showed that inside the earth there are multiple layers. Later scientists discovered that the very first layer, the crust, is made out of plate tectonics. All the different phenomena that we see on Earth, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landforms, are caused by the plate tectonics. In order to understand the layers of the earth one has to understand how the earth was formed. Earth started out as planetesimals, small bodies from which a planet…

results in changes to the earth's surface because of tectonic plates causing mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanos. First off, convergent plates cause many different types of mountains, like the folded mountains. Their called a folded mountain because of the folding plates. The denser plate goes underneath, which will eventually turn into molten, while the lighter one goes on top. This supports the thesis statement because of the two plates causing mountain building. In summarization to…

there are volcanos there are usually tectonic plates beneath them either pushing against or pulling away from one another. Take for instance the Cascade Mountain Range in Northern California and stretches through Oregon and into Vancouver, British Columbia and sits northeast of the San Andreas Fault line that runs 750 miles through California. This fault creates the tectonic boundary between the Northern America and Pacific Plates. The three types of plate boundaries are convergent, meaning…

How many volcanoes are going off right now? What are the volcanoes doing to the people; what are they doing to the earth? So, how do volcanoes shape the earth? Volcanoes can be very harming but, they can also be helpful. For instance they help the soil become richer overtime. They can also be harmful because, they can wipe out towns and cities. They can also be harmful because, they put so, much smoke into the air during the eruption. So, as you can see volcanoes are more than just hot lava.…

ancient supercontinent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. It was made of many continents that we know today. It broke up a long time ago because of something called Continental Drift. Continental drift is what it is called when the tectonic plates move around and rearrange and reshape the continents. Gondwana was made up of 5 main pieces; Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica. Gondwana existed roughly 300-180 million years ago. Its climate was fairly mild, but…

2.1. Decomposition The deterioration is required on the grounds that there are two issues. First there can be some obvious clamor leftover in the smooth regions. Second there can be some apparition ancient rarities along edge limits with smooth background [1]. Such clamor lingering and apparition ancient rarities make the reproduced shading picture outwardly unpleased in a few regions. The clamor remaining in the smooth ranges is essentially brought about by the moderately low nearby flag to…
