26 boreholes being drilled on a series of north south sections using a single RC Drilling Rig. The sections are 25 metres apart and start at 5922 m E and 5036 m N. The main lithology of the area consists of soil‚ sandstone‚ siltstone‚ breccia and basalt from the surface. Files provided Each group will be provided with a set of project files compiled from the exploration process by a geologist. These files contain the necessary data for creating a drillhole database and block model to be used

contained several lava tubes which acted as a conduit for the Basaltic lava. A cooled crust formed on top of the flow which prevented cooling and allowed flow under the cooled crust. The Volcano showed signs of Pahoehoe after the eruption which is basalt with a glassy ropy texture. The Unzen eruption also created landslide debris and Lahars which acted as transports for water rich slurries. The 1792 eruption was Effusive compared to the 1990s eruption which was explosive.

The Effect of Volcanic Eruptions on Climate Introduction Recently there has been a lot of research in the field of climate change‚ and much of it is focused on anthropogenic affects on climate. However‚ there has also been a great deal of research focused on natural Earth processes and how they affect the climate (Robock 2000). One natural process which significantly impacts climate is volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions affect the climate of the earth in many ways (Zielinski et al 1997). Volcanic

Describe in basic terms how elements were/are formed during the big bang (including the reasons why only H/He formed abundantly)‚ during normal stellar operation (including why some elements such as Si and Fe were formed more abundantly)‚ and during supernova processes/explosion Big bang only thing that forms out of the big bang is the nuetrons. Protons plus electrons = hydrogen. Hydrogen fuses the helium. There are no stable atoms with 5 or 8 nucleons (hydrogen would have 5‚ helium would have

Shield volcanoes Main article: Shield volcano Shield volcanoes‚ so named for their broad‚ shield-like profiles‚ are formed by the eruption of low-viscosity lava that can flow a great distance from a vent‚ but not generally explode catastrophically. Since low-viscosity magma is typically low in silica‚ shield volcanoes are more common in oceanic than continental settings. The Hawaiian volcanic chain is a series of shield cones‚ and they are common in Iceland‚ as well. Lava domes Main article:

Part of the deposit is observable on outcrops and a section from the altered footwall to unaltered basalts in the hanging wall has been visited by a group of six student from the Université Laval and the INRS-ETE. Antoine Caté‚ Ph.D. student on a metamorphosed VMS deposit lead the tour. Students have observed a typical section through a tilted VMS deposit

Theories include erosion of limestone‚ volcanic uplift‚ and accretion of limestone around basalt fragments from a volcanic eruption.

In the video entitled‚ “Earth is 6‚000 Years Old”‚ Chemist John Pendleton describes different viewpoints from a creation and evolutionary standpoint when it comes to how old the earth really is and the supportive material behind their conclusions. These points are based off the bible in regards to Genesis and the creation of the earth‚ scientific points of view in regards to carbon dating‚ sedimentary dating‚ and evolution of mammals and mankind in this progression. The techniques also used in determining

A multitude of species have vanished in the five cataclysmic mass extinctions‚ and as of today‚ about 99.9 percent of all species that have existed on Earth are extinct. These five extinctions were the Ordovician-Silurian extinction‚ the Late Devonian extinction‚ the Permian-Triassic extinction‚ the End Triassic extinction‚ and the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction. They wreaked havoc on more species than you could imagine‚ and if you think today that there are a lot of species‚ imagine if the five
