    According to,Wheeling, J. (2005, April 28). Retrieved February 07, 2018, from (Brian Rasmussen Follow, "Rasmussen Final+Paper+Green+Roofing", 2015)the main idea about this subject is to find out if rocks age and if they do how they age overtime. The age of the rock in years can be found by measuring the rate at which a parent element decays. The age of a rock in years is called its absolute age.You can look at the fossils the rock has too find what type of rock it is. There are three major types of rocks.Metamorphic, Sedimentary, and Igneous are the three types of major rocks In conclusion the article says that the age of rocks can depend on what type of rock it might be and in what period this rock was at. Another idea, by Nelson, Ken. (2018). Earth Science for Kids: Rocks, Rock Cycle, and Formation. Ducksters. Retrieved from ("Earth Science") is that the three types of rocks have different time period they were made at. This means that in order to find out the age of a rock you first need to identify what type of rock it is. Metamorphic rocks are formed by great heat and pressure.Igneous rocks are formed by volcanoes.Sedimentary rocks are formed by years and years of sediment compacting together and becoming hard. Rocks constantly change. This is called the rock cycle.It takes millions of years for rocks to change. In conclusions rocks can change over millions of years depending on what type of rok it is. 3. A third writer , Milligan, M. (1997,…

    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…

    These average values contribute from 0.04 to 0.2 s to the splitting. However, some stations located above faults may record as much as 0.5 s splitting. At pressures greater than 200-300 MPa, corresponding to 10-15 km depth, much of the anisotropy measured in the laboratory disappears primarily due to closure of crack. [Savage.M.K (1999)] So any anisotropy below this depth can be due to other process such as preferred orientation of minerals by the ductile flow of lower crust. For teleseismic…

    metallogenic perspective the Flin Flon belt is well known for its world class volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Fig. 1 – Geologic map of section 4 Sample Description Location and Field Relationships – The sample was taken from a location that outcrops at surface approximately 150m north of the northwest end of Louis Lake (see fig. 1 – Felsic Boundary Intrusion). The unit intrudes into both pillow and massive basalts of the Amisk Group. It is spatially associated with a 10m…

    Malawi (Specht and Rosendahl, 1989).The data provided most information on structures near the surface but not on deeper structures. There are four depositional sequence of sediment present in the lake which is Songwe unit deposited in the late Pleistocene overlying Mbamba sequence, Nyasa and Baobab. The seismic reveals 4 km to 5 km thickness of sediments and volcanic rock revealed due to high amplitude(north Malawi) filling the asymmetric half grabens basins(Specht and Rosendahl, 1989).Seismic…

Stop 6, located in Millers Falls at the Eastern Border fault zone, reveals Paleozoic metamorphic rock at the eastern end of the basin. The Fourmile gneiss is, “layered to massive biotite-feldspar gneiss and amphibolite” (Schweitzer, 2014). The Cambrian-Ordovician Fourmile Gneiss and Ordovician Partridge Formation is dipping 40° West (Table 2). Interpretations Stop…
