That is why the world was at awe to find that the continent of North America possessed these mines as well. As a matter of fact‚ the past decade‚ Canada has manufactured 15% of the world’s diamonds. In 1989‚ Canadian geologists stumbled upon a dig site that contains “pipes”. Pipes are the veins that carry diamonds to the surface from great depths (Raven-Berg‚ 2005). In 1991‚ the company DiaMet found 81 diamond pipes. It was not the first diamond find in North American

stated that there was once a supercontinent called Pangaea. He believed that 200 million years ago the continent began breaking into smaller continents which began the layout of where they lie now. Many people and geologists rejected Wegener?s idea especially the North American geologists due to most of his evidence to back his proposal up had been gathered from Southern continents. Evidence that Wegener had listed to support his theory of continental drift were that the continents fit like a jigsaw

which‚ in turn‚ bounces the signal back and triangulation uses these figures to calculate the spacecraft’s position. Geologists also use the Pythagorean Theorem to track earthquake activity. Earthquakes make two different types of waves‚ one being slower and longer than the other. If they triangulate the distance travelled by the faster waves by the slower ones then the geologists can determine the source or centre of the earthquake. Triangulation can also be used in Forensic Investigations to find

imparted by the presence of dissolved salts‚ especially calcium and magnesium. Hardness refers to how many mineral particles there are in water. The harder the water is‚ higher the contents of minerals. A geologist is a person who specialized in geologic research and study; a hydrologist is a geologist that studies the circulation‚ distribution‚ and properties of the waters of the earth and its atmosphere. A particle is a tiny or small bit. A mineral is any of a class of substances occurring in nature
