As my head comes out of the cold water‚ my hair dripping‚ and my mascara smeared I knew in that moment that I was renewed. I walk out of the pool full of passion and happiness to greet my best friend‚ Elena. As I begin walking out the bathroom I find Elena waiting for me. We hug and cry together in happiness knowing we had done something the both of us believed strongly in. We dry ourselves off and sit down together surrounded by all of our friends watching as the other kids got baptized. The

‘Classical’ architecture is a language that speaks to us with antiquity. The Exam Hall‚ once Theatre‚ on the campus of Trinity College Dublin can be viewed as a neo-classical building‚ built during the Georgian era. Neo-classical architecture is the revival of Greek and Roman classicism that took place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This revival of architecture as James Adams‚ a famous English architect said‚ “was ready to seize with some degree of success‚ the beautiful spirit of

on it. The crust can be thicker than 80 kilometers in some spots‚ less than one kilometer in others. Underneath it is the mantle‚ a layer of rock some 2700 kilometers thick that accounts for the bulk of the Earth. The crust is primarily made of granite and basalt while the mantle beneath is made of peridotite. More about all that below. How We Know the Earth Has a Crust Just a century ago‚ we didn’t know the Earth has a crust. Until the 1900s all we knew was that our planet wobbles in relation

intrusive rocks harden slowly beneath the surface of the earth‚ and often form large mineral crystals within the rock. Granite is a good example of an intrusive rock.Porphyritic intrusive rocks have large crystals embedded in a matrix of smaller crystals. Pegmatite is the only porphyritic rock on the Science Olympiad list.Extrusive rocks harden quickly during a volcanic eruption and are usually smooth-grained. Basalt is the most common form of extrusive rock. |IgneousName |Classification|Description

14-15 1. Summary The aim of this experiment was to examine three methods for determining the straightness and flatness of a horizontal granite surface. The first method was manual and the other two (Least Squares method and Minimum Zone method) were analysed by the computer‚ after a set of data was inputted. The main equipment used in the experiment was the granite surface‚ the ’’Talyvel’’ electronic level‚ the PC and the software (SURFSURE). After obtaining a number of results and analyzing them

resulting in formation of new stable compounds and secondary residual materials. Following are the types of Chemical Weathering that occur in common. Hydrolysis: This chemical process happens in case of silicate minerals reacting with water. Granite and sandstone commonly undergo hydrolysis. The H+ and OH- ions in water replace mineral ions (calcium‚ potassium etc.) to form clay and weak acids. Clay is a weak mineral which crumbles easily and hence withering of rock takes place. Hydration:

Around 285 CE‚ when the colossal Roman Empire was getting hard to manage‚ the emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire in two administrative divisions. This is because it was not easy for one capital to control such a vast land. The capital of East Roman Empire was transferred to Byzantium in 330 CE by the emperor Constantine. With the time of antiquity‚ when Eastern Roman Empire evolved to be Byzantine Empire‚ the Byzantine Empire carried many cultural and religious values from the Romans. This

The "Alcalá Gate" which in Spanish‚ is known as La Puerta de Alcalá became one of Madrid’s symbols and it is one of the most well-known monuments. It is now seen as a National Monument. La Puerta de Acalá is a Neo-classical granite monument in the Plaza de la Independencia square. The gate stands on one of the most important roads that leads to northwestern Spain and France. La Puerta de Acalá was designed by the Italian architect Francesco Sabatini in 1764 along with King Charles III. La Puerta
