    The Granite rock is an intrusive rock that formed from magma coming from beneath the earth’s surface. It went through a slow cooling process that allowed the minerals; mainly quartz and feldspar to form where the result is the coarse texture. The granite went through hydrothermal metamorphism (involves hot fluid) and contact metamorphism. The gneiss, however, being able to withstand high temperatures came from a large country rock. This piece of gneiss broke off from the country rock and got trapped

    orogeny has led to the formation of sedimentary rocks that can be classified into autochthonous and allochthonous, whereas the Normanskill formation is autochthonous, and five distinctive thrust slices from the low Taconic sequence are allochthonous. Another feature is the Cortland Complex, which is a late Ordovician magmatic intrusion formed by norite, gabbro, hornblende norite, monzodiorite, diorite, hornblende pyroxenite, and peridotite. The sedimentary rocks in the Dutchess county and Westchester counties

    The canadian shield is made up of bedrock that existed from an ancient continent called Actica that last existed about 2.5 billion years ago.This continent also formed into scotland, greenland, and siberia. The area was originally full of mountains before it was lowered down to what we know as the canadian shield This was likely caused by water erosion that sank the land around it, leaving the bedrock exposed, resulting in the forms that are now known as the canadian shield.The Canadian Shield is

    Giselle Torres Period 1 November 29, 2017 Thermal Fracture of Rocks Lab Background: Naturally, rocks go through a process in which they are broken down into smaller sediments of rock. This process is known as Mechanical Weathering. Physical weathering, on the other hand, is the same process but without changing their chemical composition. Physical weathering is caused by changes of temperature in which results in rocks being fractured. A type of physical weathering is heat fracture. Heat fracture

    Abstract Zoning in plagioclase feldspar is often an indicator of magmatic differentiation. This is mainly due to the process of fractional crystallization changing the chemistry of magmatic bodies, and has been documented in many localities. A case study will examine a 2010 report of the Bezymianny Volcano in the Kamchatka peninsula of Russia, where researchers studied oscillatory zoning in the plagioclase. An interpretation of the results has shown frequent replenishments to the magma chamber
