and when she came in, she had in tow a rocks and minerals set she had gotten at the recent Scholastic Book Fair. I felt so overjoyed to see her walk in, but

This study identified seven alluvial cycles of incision (and/or soil formation) followed by aggradation in the Carrizo Wash watershed (Figure 9). In this section, the basin’s Holocene alluvial history is outlined, including the findings of investigations in the Cienega Amarilla area located within a major Carrizo Wash tributary near the New Mexico–Arizona state line (Figure 1) (Appendix B). Early Holocene deposition postdates latest Pleistocene volcanic eruptions at Cerro Pomo cinder cone and Zuni

Introduction During the years of 1943 and 1944, Karl M. Waage conducted a study for the U.S. Geological Survey. The study was used to determine if the high alumina clays in south-central Colorado could be mined as a possible source of aluminum. High alumina clay, also known as refractory clay, is used for making brick and other materials that are exposed to high temperatures. The refractory clays in the study were contained within formations dating to the cretaceous period (Waage, 1953, p. 2).

My favorite day of school was last year. It was a field trip day that the whole school was talking about, for what felt like weeks. My friends, Jonas and Mackenzy, and I couldn’t wait. We were hoping we would be put in the same groups, especially because we had been planning this since we found out about it. When we got there, bowling was first. “Well, we have bowling together, that’s good,” Jonas commented. “Ya, I love bowling. We should get our shoes and find a lane before they are all taken

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

Whitlatch outlays on maps where the clay resrouces are. Quaternary clays are residual at 0-10 ft thick, alluvium at 0-150 ft thick with sand and gravel mixed within, and Loess at 0-100 ft thick, which is a gray to yellowish-brown (used in Memphis for brick). Tertiary clays are located in the Jackson and Grenada formations. The clays here have a thickness of about 100-200 feet. The Jackson formation has brown, yell, red, to fine coarse grain sands. The grenada formation has brown, yellow, red,

Seafloor sediments come from a variety of sources, including small living organisms from the overlying sea water, broken material from area transported to the sea by streams or wind, fiery remains of volcanoes, and chemical precipitates that comes directly from seawater. A space amount of it starts as dust from space. In other words, the particles found in silt on the ocean bottom change significantly in synthesis and record an intricate interchange of procedures that have acted to shape, transport

Colorado Mining Humankind has been fascinated with minerals and rocks as far back as we have existed. Minerals, which are referred to as the building blocks of rocks, are the foundation of almost every rock known to humans. Minerals are a naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness. In contrast to minerals, rocks are any solid mass of mineral, or mineral like matter, that occurs

landslides are classified as the downward movement of a slope and materials under the force of gravity (New York State Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2008). This definition also includes: a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep slope failure, shallow debris flows, natural rock, soil or artificial fill (New York State Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2008). Depending on the size and location of the landslide, landslides can be dangerous (Hyndman and Hyndman 2014). There are three mechanisms that initiate

Short background on School of Rock & Right to Rock Organization The School of Rock is a performance-based after school program for children from ages 5 to 18. This organization was founded in Philadelphia in 1998 and has become a growing foundation not only in the United States but also internationally. Their vision is to excel in entertainment, franchising and education. Professional musicians, on a weekly basis, provide music lessons to the students of the School of Rock. They experience a highly
