Johnson). He has to continually search all around Western North America to find fossils and then he has to dig the fossil’s up which can be scattered across land. It can be hard to find certain forms of sedimentary rock that have fossils in them, it can take a long time to get to the sedimentary rock (Hays). Another obstacle is that he has to base his research about past climate on just fossil leaves. It’s first hard to find fossil leaves but also it’s hard to determine if it’s an actual fossil…
weather in the United States, which it can attribute to its geology. San Diego is also well known for consistent droughts; however, its current unique geography is a result of ancient rivers and seas depositing Cretaceous and Tertiary sedimentary rocks. As a result of these ancient rivers, “San Diego County can be divided between three distinct geomorphic regions: the Coastal Plain region as exposed west of the Peninsular Ranges, the Peninsular Range region, and the Salton Trough region as…
The Liberty 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…
evident that the era of rock and roll greats such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin are fading. However, the passionate fans these legends created are still hungry for fist pumping guitar solos and rhythm driving bass drums. This desire for rock in roll in the twenty-first century is being adopted by the most popular radio music format in the United States: the country music industry (Kelly & Hunt 2016). In the words of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, “Country is the new rock ‘n’ roll.…
70's has impacted the music we listen to today and obviously there are a few of us who still have some of our most loved 70's records and hear them out still. A portion of the class that truly made their mark in the 1970's are Great Rock, Disco, Southern Rock, Punk Rock, and the introduction of Overwhelming Metal in spite of the fact that it was initially referred to as Hard Shake too. Regardless of in the event that you were naturally introduced to a more youthful era there is more than likely…
derived from Jurassic to lower cretaceous periods in the north part of Lake Malawi which has hydrocarbon reservoir prospects. Existence of thick sedimentary sequence rock could possibly trap hydrocarbon especially in lower Shire valley, northern of Lake Malawi. Presence of large proportion volcanic clasts interbedded with sedimentary rocks transported by rivers present for extensive alluvial plain building enhances prospects(Crossley, 1984). The system also swept mud flows generated during…
This song was a little slower, focusing more on the piano and vocals. The song had a good 2/4 time feel common in rock music. The audience sang along with Phil since this song is a number 1 hit he made. It sounded more like a rock ballad but with a little faster tempo. I sang along with the crowd, and saw many members dancing. Some younger preteen members of the audience were called up on stage to join Phil. I thought that…
“Wow, either the wand worked, or we don’t look very tasty,” Titus said, as he looked up into the trees toward Hootie. After traveling higher up the mountain, Titus and his two companions came to a grassy meadow. Urging the mule to a big rock, “This,” Titus said to the mule as he dismounted, “Is where we will spend the night.” Taking a string and a hook from his pouch, he looked up at Hootie and said," I’ll catch us some fish for dinner tonight.” . After trying for several…
me off. That pull could have broken my neck. Before he starts some rant about the dangers of rocks I ask “Mom, may I go climb the rocks over there?” pointing to more rocks that are as tall or taller than me that travel into a forest. These rocks are clearly more dangerous than the one I just climbed, but my mother encourages me to enjoy myself on this trip. Before my dad can say anything, I run over rocks that I know that he can’t go over as easily because of his…
Southern Soul also started in the early 1960’s and was pioneered by the record company Stax Records. The sound of Southern Soul focused more on the “groove” of the music rather than the lyrics, which was caused by the heavy influence Southern Soul had from gospel music. One of the most famous Southern Soul artists was Otis Redding. Otis Redding signed with Stax records and put out his debut album for…
