genre’s social impacts on the world. Country is a “homegrown American art form that originated in the southern United States in the 1920’s” (Shmoop). Country was well known before World War Two, yet had an unpleasant time staying prevalent amid the Rock and Roll Revolution. Country music took after a blend of Folk music and Western music. Numerous individuals’ trust Country music was conceived…

Hill pluton of South Carolina is one of twenty-four known granitoid bodies along the southern Appalachian Piedmont which possess the properties of a supergroup as described by Pitcher. The country rocks surrounding the plutons are at least mid-Paleozoic in age. Liberty Hill lies within country rocks of the Carolina Slate belt which consists of “primarily intermediate to felsic pyroclastic debris and hypabyssal intrusive bodies.” (Speer et al. 1980). The isotopic ages of metamorphism from the…

be used to represent the sedimentary rock. The goal is to see if different amounts of alum powder will affect the amount of crystals that grow. In this experiment, the groups’ hypothesis is the more alum powder in the solution, the bigger crystals will form. A geode is a “mass of minerals within a rock that can take thousands of years to form” (Steve Spangler). The word geode is from the word Geoides, which is considered “Earthlike” (Wonderopolis). These rocks form geodes when…

ancient siliciclastic sequences of river sediments. The value of the technique lies not only in the number of possible minerals, but also in that many of them have petrogenetic parageneses that positively identify the involvement of particular parent rocks. Single grain analytical methods have been most successful in constraining provenance compared with bulk methods (Gehrels et al., 1995; Mange and Morton, 2007). This approach is based on the principle of finding a diagnostic and distinct…

lay large 60 degree a ngeled slabs of rock known as the Flatirons. Over millions of years sediment become compressed into these layers of rock. Clues to what may have caused the tilted sedimentary layers are the darker rock at the bottem called granite, which has no layering like the rock on top of it. The garnite full of menerals showing signs of magma, from a liquid rock. From class I know that magma is usually found deep within the Earth. But this rock has been pushed up causing a tilting…

was observed to be igneous rock, with evidence of batholith, an igneous specific type of intrusion that spans for miles at a time. This is evident in figure 8. Various minerals and a grainy texture were also observed. Because of this, and identification of minerals such as quartz, as observed in figure 6, and orthoclase, in figure 9, this rock was concluded to be the igneous rock, granite. Granite forms when magma under the Earth slowly crystallizes. Igneous rock forms when there is an…

Reservation Blues A common theme in both “If 6 was 9” and Jimi Hendrix Reservation Blues by Sherman Alexie, is those perceived to be different are denounced by others around them. This is seen by Coyote Springs, a Spokane band originating from the Northwest. As Coyote Springs struggles to rise into stardom, they face many challenges. Faced with exotification and exploration of their own culture as well as alienation from their own tribe, the band continues to push forth and create music on…

Sediment-hosted copper deposits are formed by fluid mixing in permeable sedimentary and (more rarely) volcanic rocks. Two fluids are thought to be involved: an oxidized brine carrying copper as a chloride complex, and a reduced fluid that commonly formed in the presence of anaerobic sulfatereducing bacteria. For a sediment-hosted copper deposit to form, four conditions are required: (1) an oxidized source rock, (2) a brine to mobilize copper, (3) a reduced fluid to precipitate copper, and (4)…

There are many land formations and I chose these three. The first one is a canyon, it’s located in Arizona and its name is Grand Canyon. The second one is a volcano it’s found in Washington State, Cascade Range and it is named Mount St. Helens. The last one is a plateau and it can be found in central Asia and it is called Tibetan Plateau. And then I’ll be comparing the different land forms. The Grand Canyon is in Northern Arizona with an elevation of 8,000 feet. The process of the…

exposed rock material has a visible reverse fault, and is heavy faulted/folded. Visible soil, and vegetation growth on exposed section of the formation. Visible iron oxide staining from fractures in the section both natural, and manmade. Alternating material layers light grey to dark grey in the formation, and thick bands. 0 to 3feet of the section is composed of light grey, and soft material. The bottom facie was a small section of laminated layered shale. 3 feet to 6 feet of the exposed rock…
