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

Bore holes‚ discovered by Egyptologist Mark Lehner‚ helped builders keep the lines of the pyramid straight. Most of the limestone ancient Egyptians used to build the pyramids came from a quarry on the Gizeh plateau‚ just south of the Great Pyramid. White limestone‚ however‚ came from Tura across the Nile.

Formation has been correlated to Middle Ordovician in age due to fossils found within its shale and limestone layers. The two fossils found in these layers were the graptolites and conodonts. The lithology of this formation from outcrops that have been examined shows evidence that the top layers of this formation are chert‚ followed by a rather large middle section of fissile shale‚ with thin beds of limestone

What kinds of rocks are most susceptible to solution processes and why? Limestone and dolomite because the water dissolves the rock. 4. What is the importance of jointing and bedding planes to the underground structure of caverns? There are more caverns where joints and bedding planes are. 5. Describe and explain the formation

Podzols In soil science‚ podzols (also known as podsols or Spodosols) are the typical soils of coniferous or boreal forests. They are also the typical soils of eucalypt forests and headlands in southern Australia. The name Podzol is derived from the Russian words pod = under and zola = ash. Characteristics of Podzol soils - Deep organic layer comprising L (litter)‚ F (fermenting organic matter) and H (humus) forest‚ less under moorland - An ash-grey‚ structure less‚ silica rich E or elluvial
