The following is a description of each of these properties: 1.Color- Color is usually the first property observed when handling a specimen. Color alone is not reliable‚ but it can help us to eliminate possibilities. We must be sure we have a freshly exposed surface‚ because weathering can change the color of a mineral. Some minerals‚ such as sulfur‚ always have the same color(yellow). Other minerals may have different colors. One

Explain the cosmological argument for the existence of God (25 marks) Thomas Aquinas famously formulated his version of the cosmological or "first cause" argument. According to this argument‚ the things which we see around us now are the products of a series of previous causes. But that series cannot go back in time forever. Thus there must be some first cause which was not itself caused by anything else. And that first uncaused cause is God. A lot of the argument is based on Aristotelian views

What it means to be Marine When did you decide that you wanted a change in your life? When did you want to step up and make a difference?

Everyone has their motives for the decisions they make. Were all different and come from different backgrounds. Some of us from normal lives‚ some from more satisfied lives‚ and some from

Types of volcanism associated with plate margins There are two types of plate margin. When there is a boundary between two diverging tectonic plates‚ such as between the North American and Eurasian plates‚ it is known as a constructive plate margin. This is because it recognises the importance of magma rising up from the mantle to create new crustal rock. The boundary between two converging plates is known as a destructive plate margin‚ as it is responsible for more violent seismic activity‚ volcanoes

Marine and Lacustrine Deposits ORIGINS AND GEOTECHNICAL ISSUES Robert Bartus s2721227 | 4 104ENG Geotechnical Engineering Practice | August 19‚ 2012 1 The origins of soil deposits on the earth’s crust can reveal significant findings in the chemical and mechanical characteristics of the soils themselves. It is important to uncover such origins to find how and where such deposits may have formed over tens of thousands of years ago. Marine and Lacustrine deposits are two soil types that are commonly

Plato’s theory of forms‚ also called his theory of ideas‚ states that there is another world‚ separate from the material world that we live in called the "eternal world of forms". This world‚ to Plato‚ is more real than the one we live in. His theory is shown in his Allegory of the Cave (from The Republic‚ Book VII)‚ where the prisoners only live in what they think is a real world‚ but really it is a shadow of reality. According to Plato‚ to the prisoners in the allegory and to humanity in the material
