Geology

Numerous Uses of Geology The uses of geology every day have been overlooked far too often. There are countless uses for geology that people do not realize. Geology is mainly used to benefit us. Geologic knowledge is a requirement to obtain groundwater. A bountiful amount of goods are created with the help of geology. Unexpectedly large amounts of minerals are utilized in modern technology. For example, batteries, phones, and houses are all made with geologic awareness. Geology is a major…

and Taira, 1992); surprisingly this river flows through over these three domains (Fig.1). The mineral assemblages are correlated with these subdivisions of the Himalayas on the basis of the similarity between the inferred geology from mineral assemblages and each provenance-geology. The diversity of detrital mineral assemblages is particularly prominent in modern and ancient siliciclastic sequences of river sediments. The value of the technique lies not only in the number of possible minerals,…

left fossil grave yards high and low in the Grand Canyon. Moreover, millions of natiuloids are buried in the limestone layer of the Grand Canyon. Dr. Steve Austin, author, research geologist with a Ph. D from Penn State University in sedimentary geology, the senior research scientist in Dallas, Texas at the…

features, exercise and leisure. A visit to the lava beds would provide a significant history lesson. The history, landscape, and findings would be beneficial to students who have an interest in history, specifically individuals who would like to study geology, archaeology and even paleontology. Due to their hidden nature, the caves do not attract as many tourists in comparison to more notorious historical sites such as Yosemite National Park, but not all children get to experience an…

Chapter One Geology of Nile Delta of Egypt Introduction Egypt is about 1001449 Km², located in the Northern corner of Africa. Nile Delta is controlled with Nile river branches. Nile river is about 6825 Km long. It Extends from Latitude 4° S to 31° N from Ethiopia, Kenyan plateau and African highland to the Mediterranean sea. It’s the longest river in the world. Without Nile River and its valley Fig. (1.1) Egypt is mainly a desert country ( Sestini ,1995) The present Nile Delta region is…

Vicunia to lie as we now observe them. Many of the layers contain fossils that have been dated to certain prehistoric periods; this allows us to apply a time scale to the deposition and construction of these layers. We can use the principles of geology and the principles of stratigraphy to explain the geological reasoning behind each episode that lead to the formation of the rock units in the strata. Using these elements we can construct a comprehensive geological outline of the layers of…

Introduction For my research paper I was given the West Berkeley Shellmound. The purpose of this final paper is to explore the issues and concepts covered in the course, Anthropology 2 – Introduction to Archaeology, by considering the limitations and potentials of archaeological research. It is in this paper that I will assess the limitations of data, methods, and theory for the past investigation at the West Berkeley Shellmound and use critical evaluations to construct an alternative research…

Abstract This paper explores the medical geology aspect associated with the release of radon through geological deposits. To be able to assess the release of radon it is essential to understand that release of radon originates from uranium deposits and determine where uranium deposits can be located. If knowledge on the subject under investigation is gained, government officials, corporations and the general public can interpret this data to improve and possibly eliminate health and safety…

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre Denver residents and music enthusiasts best associate the Red Rock Amphitheatre with concerts, graduations, and other performances. Red Rocks combines awe inspiring sites with naturally acoustic splendor. The Amphitheatre attracts audiences and big name musicians to it stage with ease. However, Red Rocks Amphitheatre has a rich history many do not consider while listening to their favorite band or enjoying the trails around the park. Many important figures and…

Mercury 's Surface Geology: according to the information gathered by the probes sent to Mercury, this planet has a surface that resembles in some manner the surface of our Moon, with craters and maria as its most prominent features. Furthermore, there are other structures that, albeit not as common as impact craters, make up the surface of Mercury, such as vents - that are thought to be the source for magma-carved valleys on Mercury - and irregular depressions named "hollows", probably generated…
