which is why those type of rocks are called sedimentary rocks.You can find sedimentary rocks in oceans‚ rivers‚ or deserts. Shale‚ sandstone‚ and limestone are the most common types of sedimentary rocks. The mineral that forms those rocks is called feldspar. The second type of rock is called the metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock is actually made up of the other two rocks‚ sedimentary and igneous. Slate (a type of metamorphic rock) is formed from shale (a sedimentary rock). Same with marble and

 Chauvet Cave Horses The expression of “cave painting” usually refers to drawing‚ stencil art and painting on the walls and ceilings of prehistoric caves of the Stone Age. Evidence indicates it began during the Aurignacian period (around 30‚000 BC) but reached a highpoint during the late Magdalenian period. The most spectacular examples of this rock art have been discovered in France and Spain‚ where archeologists have found some 350 caves containing Paleolithic artworks‚ but

Geology 101—Lesson 2 Assignment 1. What is meant by "hydrogen is the simplest of all elements"? Because hydrogen has an atomic number of only “1” which means it only has one proton in its nucleus and it is the only element with only one proton in its nucleus also has one electron 2. What must happen in order for an atom to lose its electrical neutrality? In order for an atom to lose its electrical neutrality the protons and electrons

GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF ADAIR PARK SOUTH WEST ARIZONA By Geology 101 2013 Novermber 20 I. On Saturday‚ November 16‚ 2013‚ our Geology class went to Adair Park Yuma Arizona on our adventure of a lifetime. The point of the trip was to view real life examples of some of the things that we have studied over the course of this semester. Actually being able to see examples of such things as cross-bedding dikes‚ unconformities‚ folds faults and various sedimentary

difference (apparent in Figures 7.10 and 7.11) in the chemical composition of common clay and kaolinite? Kaolinite is more refined clay due to the increased rain fall and increase hydrolysis of orthoclase which is more through and is converted from feldspar 7.10 Rocks in fresh roadcuts are commonly gray to brown in color‚ but after a few decades reds and yellows begin to appear. Why? Hint: What elements in the atmosphere and surface water are at work here? When water combines with hematite it limonite

Associate Level Material History of Rock Worksheet Leah Bechtel 12/09/2012 SCI/245 Robert Dillon Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. The role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rock is extremely important. Igneous rock is formed from magma that reaches the continental and oceanic crust or through hot spots that are around the world. There are three different places where igneous rocks can form; where

Sedimentary Rocks Dead Horse Point‚ Utah Dr. R. B. Schultz What are sedimentary rocks and what do they represent? Sedimentary rocks are those that represent the material record of environments in the form of rock layers or strata that once existed on earth. There are two (2) types of sedimentary rocks‚ based on their textures: Clastic (also called “Detrital”)-- form from deposition of solid grains; classified based on grain size: conglomerate‚ sandstone‚ and shale Chemical -- form from
