Some myths may be more popular than others, but there is still significant with the existence of other theories in the world. One of the most well-known theories is the Biblical flood story. In this story, God was upset at mankind and wanted to destroy it, but before doing so, He warned Noah, because he was righteous, and told him to build an arc. Noah followed the orders, and on the boat, was his family and two of every animal. Rain came from the sky for 40 days and 40 nights, which in turn,…

the use of stone tools. Interestingly enough, they don’t just use any old rock that they can find. The capuchins make sure that their “hammers” are the perfect size to swing with but are also made out of a hard enough material- such as quartzite. Sandstone is usually used as an anvil. The perfect tools don’t just go to waste after they are used, the capuchins make sure to stash these tools under trees so that they can be reused later on. • Learned – The culture of non-human primate tool use…

example of it is granite. By cooling and solidification of lava, igneous rock will be formed, and this makes up approximately 64.7% of the earth’s crust. The second common one is Sedimentary rocks, which means sit, and the representative example is Sandstone. Sedimentary rock is composed of a little particle of rock and other elements settling into layer, and about 7.9% of the earth’s crust…

and It also contains small specs of mafic minerals which are dark. It contains crystals, which are interlocking. Mirco granite are pinkish in colour, but can also be grey at times. Ercall Granophyre is a unconformably overlain by Lower Cambrian sandstones. Micro granite forms in an area with magma and quartz rock. The crystals are smaller than granite, which means that the magma cooled more quickly. A breccio conglomerate with clasts which are both rounded and angular, it is a mixture of…

During the documentary I learned that near the Earth's surface many gemstones are formed when minerals react with water and later on are dissolved. The evaporation causes the minerals to form. Gemstones are produced when the water is mixed with sandstones. Amethyst is a purple crystalline quartz. The Agates is a cryptocrystalline which comes in…

Many sandstones, limestones and shales far below ground contain natural gas. When the rocks are drilled this gas is released and can be captured at the surface to be used (source A). To increase the flow of released gas, the rocks can be broken apart, or fractured. Fracking has led to many controversial opinions because critics say the process carries many risks but some say there are many benefits to fracking. Some of the benefits include that there is enough fossil fuels in bedrock shale…

Earth Science Short Field Based Investigation This scientific report will explain what the primary data that was collected on our field trip to Coomera and Springwood Quarries represents. On the field trip we were given an observation journal to record primary data about the two types of rocks, at Coomera (Nucrush Quarry) and at Springwood Conservation Park. To maintain an equal representation, secondary data will be used to refer to the main points. On our field trip, we went to Nucrush…
