My time spent at DePauw has provided me with an extensive array of courses that have allowed me to learn the big picture of the environment but also the specifics and focus on certain subjects such as‚ Igneous Petrology‚ Earthquakes and Volcanoes‚ Geophysics‚ and Historical Geology. Not only have I taken many courses within the geology department at DePauw but I have also taken a wide assortment outside of the department as well‚ ranging from calculus to a seminar

process of magmatic differentiation is essential to the study of the petrology of igneous rocks. Students at Macalester College typically first encounter this concept in the introductory geology course when they learn about Bowen’s reaction series and fractional crystallization. After a brief introduction to phase diagrams in the mineralogy course‚ students generally receive a thorough treatment of magmatic differentiation in the petrology course. Despite trying several different approaches to “teaching”

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

pick up anything that strikes their fancy. Getting started in rockhounding is easy; a collection can begin with a single “pretty” rock. Finding out where‚ how and what you can collect can be complicated. The rock collector will learn quite a bit of petrology‚ mineralogy and geology in their search. The most definitive characteristics of a rock or a mineral is its hardness‚ which you can determine by comparing it against the standardized Mohs Scale of Hardness. Many states regulate the collection of some

The Combustion of Diamond and Methane Methane is a hydrocarbon compound that is found in a gaseous state at room temperature. It has the chemical formula CH4‚ it is an odourless‚ colourless gas that is a large percentage of ‘natural gas’ and is a large contributor to global warming as it is a greenhouse gas and is flammable so is used as a fuel. Methane is a product of the covalent bonding of carbon and hydrogen. Products of the combustion of methane include carbon dioxide‚ water‚ soot and carbon
