Wife’s Denial I watched him. My eyes followed him as he took every single sip. “You really shouldn't drink that much you know,” I said softly, almost like I was afraid of him. He didn’t bother glancing up or acknowledging what I said and kept drinking. Tonight was the dinner party, where we announce our baby’s gender to our friends. Everyone was coming over to our house at half past seven and I haven't gotten ready still. My arms were painted, colours of black and purple. “I can’t let anyone see…

Those who can’t provide one way will provide another. Due to the need of an attorney, Mr. Cunningham pays through the only way he can: through an entailment which he provides stove wood, hickory nuts, and other farm produce. Asking why Mr. Cunningham pays back with food and other farm goods, Atticus answers Scout , “ Because that’s the only way he can pay me. He has no money” (Lee 27). This quote explains that through the difficult aftermath of the Great Depression, most people lost what little…

meter stick, rock hammer, flashlight, bottle of acid, and helmet, we set off to the mine. Located roughly 100 feet below the surface near Grand Rapids, the mine is now a storage facility owned by Michigan Natural Storage. In the mine, we measured the various rock columns to find how large the different sections of gypsum, shale and dolomite were. In addition to measuring the rock types, we took samples using the hammer. After the trip in lab the next week, we looked at the different rock types…

About 60% of the territory is mountainous, apart from the coasts. Puerto Rico offers Varity of amazing rain forest, deserts, beaches, caves, oceans and rivers. Puerto Rico has three major Geographic regions: Mountainous interior, coastal lowlands, and the karst area. Mountainous interior is formed by a chain of central mountains generally known as Cordillera Central, The largest mountains are Cerro La Punta (1,338 m) in Jayuya; Rosas (1,267 m) found between Jayuya and Ciales, Guilarte (1,205 m)…

Onyx: The Practical and Metaphysical Story Onyx is a specific variety of the mineral known as chalcedony. It is a banded mineral, which means that the layering of the rock that formed it has caused “bands” of different colors to appear. Many people mistake onyx for a type of agate, which is another type of chalcedony, but where agate has curved bands onyx has parallel bands instead. Onyx is found in nearly every color, though bands of black and white are the most common. When onyx is banded…

that will work to find the age for that fossil. As well as the many terms that goes in the processes for dating fossils. Relative dating does not give an actual date for the fossils. Relative dating is used to organize geological events, and the rocks they leave behind in a sequence. A geological event is basically a severe natural event that happens in the crust of earth that is normally harmful like an earthquake or a volcano . The method of reading the order is called stratigraphy…

The Great Dividing Ranges also known as the Eastern Ranges are a mountain range geographically located in Australia. The great ranges spand from the north eastern tip of Queensland down southwards to the edge of New South Wales eventually ending in the west most part of Victoria. In total the Ranges length rounds off to a distance of 3,500 kilometres, long enough to earn it the title of third longest land based range in the world. The width of the range varies slightly along its length from…

geological environments have been reported, 1) trees transported by streams and rivers then buried in the fluvial sediments (e.g., Weibel, 1996; Fielding and Alexander, 2001; Parrish and Falcon-Lang, 2007; Hartmann et al., 2010), and 2) ash from volcanic eruptions buries trees while felled or still upright (e.g., Sigleo, 1979; Witke et al., 2004). The resulting lithic cast forms as the wood’s cell wall components break-down owing to the continuing deposition of silica at a rate and in a manner…

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…

I took my mother to Chili’s today (5/7/16) for an early Mother’s Day lunch; the experience was embarrassing and unacceptable. The hostess takes us at a table with crumbs all over seat, before I say anything she gets a napkin and pushes all of the crumbs off the seat and onto the floor however, crumbs are still all over half of the table, I didn’t say anything to her. After we sat down our feet literally stuck to the ground, before opening the menu my hand and arm got very sticky from some…
