The Peninsular terrane is a Triassic to Jurassic island-arc complex that was accreted to the North American craton by the Early Cretaceous (Detterman and Reed, 1980; Jones et al., 1987; Ridgway et al., 2002; Trop et al., 2002, 2005; Clift et al., 2005). The terrane includes mafic to andesitic flows and volcaniclastic rocks, limestone, and mudstone. These rocks structurally overlie and are intruded by Jurassic plutonic rocks of the Talkeetna arc (Reed and Lanphere, 1973; Reed et al., 1983; Rioux et

Culture is a part of every nation and every society. Although it is found in every society, they all are different in their own respects. Some may have similar aspects, but no two societies are exactly the same due to what could be small variations or very drastic ones. Due to these discrepancies, this is where Anthropology comes into play. Anthropology studies and compares human societies and culture along with their development. Some anthropologist dedicates their whole bodies of work to one society

-------earth materials book. Hardness has an affect on the way our water tastes, hydro book. . it will leave a scaly deposit on the inside of pipes, boilers, and tank - the water evaporates leaving behind rocklike deposits consisting mostly of calcite crystals Hard water can be softened at a fairly reasonable cost, but it is not always desirable to remove all the minerals that make water hard. Extremely soft water is likely to corrode metals, although it is preferred for laundering, dishwashing

Ashleigh Hartsock Death Valley Patterned ground in Death Valley “Salt can be thought of as the warm form of ice. In some extreme cases, geologists that go to Death Valley substitute salt into their lemonade as a refreshing treat.” – Gabriel Chevalier Patterned ground, which refers to a “ground whose surface has developed orderly patterns, such as polygons, circles, steplike forms (terracettes), and stripes” (Hunt, Charles B., Robinson, Bowles, Washburn; B104), is characteristic of and reaches a

this paper, we shed light on the morphological, sedimentological, and mineralogical aspects of inverted wadis in Western Desert of Egypt. We conclude that the majority of minerals which led to the cementation of inverted wadis in visited sites, are calcite, iron oxide, gypsum, illite, magnesite, alunite, vermiculite, aerinite, surite, hematite, silicon oxide, epidote, magnetite, and clay. In addition, the grain-size distribution for 18 samples of inverted wadis in two localities ranges from (-6 to 4

What The marble portrait of Caracalla is a portrait bust. Busts are simply sculpted upper parts of the human figure depicting the head and the neck and a portion of the chest and shoulders. They are usually fragments from a full body statue that are created to be inserted into an existing body. According to Paul Zanker’s ‘Roman Portraits’, public sculpture included honorific portrait statues of political officials erected by the Senate in the Roman Republic. These statues were typically erected to

My tour theme is 18th Arrondissement “Annual Ring”. Typically, when you are planning to go to Paris, guidebooks or websites tell you that most of the major sites are located in the center of Paris. I am going to Paris in July. I was looking at the website information and was going to visit some major sites. You never know when you can visit there next, so I don’t want to miss the world-famous sites. While I was researching about Paris, I found a beautiful eye-catch building. It was located in 18th

key role in maintaining the stability of the marine environment by performing biochemical reactions, such as photosynthesis, which provide nutrients and oxygen to other marine organisms. They are also important for the success of coral reefs and calcite deposits throughout the water column. Increasing levels of inorganic CO2 will reduce calcification of ecologically important calcifying organisms such as corals and coccolithophores (Dedmer et al. 2013). Kim and colleagues (2013) advocate that changes

The Mississippi River, a heartland symbol for many Americans, meanders through the central states of the United States and plays a major role in everyday life, not only for those that live in its proximity, but around the world as well. At the mouth of the Mississippi River lies the largest port district in the world, including the Port of South Louisiana, which sees approximately 500 million tons of shipped goods each year such as petroleum products, iron, steel, grain, rubber, paper, wood, coffee

Having watched an interesting movie about the Navy SEAL (Sea, Air, and Land) Team such as Lone Survivor or any other movies about wars, has anyone of us thought about how those task force teams could deal with the “hot” situations they encounter while doing their jobs? How can they make decisions that quickly so as to survive in those circumstances? According to Malcom Gladwell, the author of Blink, human beings have an ability to make unconsciously quick decisions, which is called thin-slicing,
