The geology of carboniferous of the Midland Valley of Scotland Research Aims This essay will cover the basic geology of the Midland Valley‚ the changes in structure and volcano activities during the carboniferous period. General introduction of the Midland Valley The carboniferous is a period between 290 and 360 million years ago(Ref 1‚p.8‚Scotland Through Time). The Midland Valley was covered with lots of rainforest and numerous of coral reefs flourished in the tropical seas. Volcanos eruptions

Geology of the Front Range 1. Research on the Front Range Mountains located in the Rocky Mountain region has brought about a lot of findings that they intend to share with the rest of the community. Over 1 billion years ago‚ molten rock was dispersed throughout the world. In time‚ this molten rock would form together which in turn formed the continents in which we live today. This is true for Pikes Peak as well. Being the tallest mountain of the region (standing at 14‚278 feet) there

My undergraduate degree is in Geophysical Sciences‚ which is a mixture of geology‚ mathematics‚ physics and chemistry. In the geological part of the degree‚ we were exposed to various kinds of geology practical skills‚ such as lab petrology‚ drawing stereonets‚ reading geological maps‚ describing rocks and minerals and so much more. Apart from geology‚ we were taught on how to solve mathematical problems that were relevant to the degree such as modelling environmental processes‚ physical motions
