Amie Hadley Period: 6 Mrs.Howsden Geology Research Project Devils tower is a geological formation in our nation’s first national park. The tower is a rock formation known as a laccolithic butte. Laccolithic is a term used for large masses of rocks which were made of magma, typically under ground between rock strata. Most laccoliths are round and dome shaped, but devils tower has been eroded to the point of having a flat top and very steep sides. There is also no evidence of volcanic activity
hundred asteroids larger than 60 miles in diameter. This may not seem like a lot, but that to me seems like a large abundance of asteroids to be kept together in one place at one time. As we have learned in class, asteroids are leftovers from the formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. This to me is eye opening, because with all of these asteroids floating around in our solar system, very rarely do you hear of an incident where an asteroid hits earth. This could also be because of
Introduction Marble The word Marble comes from Greek word “Mamaros” which means shining stone Marble is a non-foliated, Granular Metamorphic Rock that is formed by the Metamorphism of Limestone and Dolostone. The term marble is also applied to serpentine rocks that can be polished to high shine. Marble belong to the category of building stones widely known as Dimension Stone*All natural stones including marble, granite and slate which can be cut to sizes, polished and used for construction purposes
Mount Vesuvius Mount Vesuvius is located in Italy more specifically on Italy’s west coast. It overlooks the City of Naples and sits in the crator of an ancient volcano named Somma . Vesuvius is most famous for its 79 AD eruption that destroyed several roman cities’ most famous of which was Pompeii. The city of Pompeii had volcanic ash and pumice rain down on it at a rate of six inches per hour until the city was completely buried within twenty four hours. People who tried to escape the impending

in geology and was said to have even contacted locally famous geologist to discuss the rock formations he observed in Central Park. At the age of 17 Oppenheimer began attending Harvard, a prestigious and well known private University. He graduated Harvard with a major in Chemistry in May of 1925. Later that year he enrolled at Cambridge University in England to study physics thus beginning his atomic research in the Cavendish Laboratory under J.J. Thomson. Then at the age of 22 he was invited to
The country rock was identified in the field to be a Meta-Limestone, but a more in-depth chemical analysis done by others classifies it as a dolostone of the Strath Suardal formation from the Durness group. (Digimap, 2017) (Goodenough et al. 2011) There are two distinctive features present in this unit. The first is the syncline and anticline that extend across the map in a NEE-SWW strike, shown in Figure 5.1 (Need to fix map to show this). The second is the thermal areole found in relation to the
the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. The 8th and 9th grade students are still learning to sing with pure vowel sounds. Therefore the learning segment starts from “scratch” with exercises that help students physically feel and recognize vowel formation and sound, progressing in small increments towards the goal of identifying and applying IPA vowels to singing (Duke, 2012). My students with IEP/504 plans are still learning to maintain vowel integrity when singing with others in Ecclesiastical
