    Extractions: You might be a geologist if ... you can pronounce the word "molybdenite" correctly on the first try. What is a Rock? A rock is many things. It is a collection of the particular chemical elements that make it up. The elements form compounds or a mineral assemblage that usually occurs in crystalline form. The minerals make up the rock in a great variety of arrangements. In coarse grained rocks the minerals are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. In fine grained rocks the individual grains are so small that they can only be viewed with a magnifying glass or microscope. A rocks history begins with its birth. It may subsequently be deformed mechanically, become chemically and minerally changed, and moved laterally or vertically in response to external forces. Rock Type Igneous Any rock made by the cooling of magma. This origin is reflected in their texture which is like a mosaic of crystals. Igneous rocks are divided into two types. intrusive: rocks that were emplaced within rocks that surround them. They originated as hot magma that pushed it way into cracks and other openings. extrusive: rocks form form lava that flowed out of volcanoes or from volcanic ash that was released high into the air and fell back to the ground.

    Extractions: The California Traveler Series are an excellent group of small books that give you whatever you want to know about various aspects of California in a quick and painless way. The book on Earthquakes will let you know which part of the State is prone to rock and roll and which areas are immune from constantly changing landscape. The text and diagrams are excellent in clarifying the problem of earthquakes. Growing up in Oregon's Willamette Valley, basalt cliffs have watched over my life. More flood basalt and Rocky mountain gravels and mud are under my feet, and for most of my life I've lived within the shores of glacial lake Allison. When I go the rugged Pacific coast I look at beautiful haystack rocks and headlands where the same lava streams flowed, or I climb volcanic peaks just inland. Flood-wrenched lavas greet me in my travels up the Columbia and Snake Rivers, through the gorge, coulees ...

    Extractions: GEOLOGIC MAP OF ARIZONA In addition to showing different types and ages of rocks, most geologic maps depict geologic features, such as faults, folds, and volcanoes. The Geologic Map of Arizona shows faults (breaks in the rock produced by a slipping motion) with heavy lines. Notice that faults are nearly absent from northeastern Arizona, but are more common in the rest of the State. A geologic map gives clues to the age of a fault because it shows which rock units are cut by the fault and are therefore older than the fault, and which rock units were deposited across the fault after it was formed. Knowing the age of a fault is important for assessing the potential for earthquakes along that fault: The more recently the fault has moved, the more likely it is to move again and produce earthquakes. Geologic maps are used in four major ways: (1) to discover mineral and energy resources; (2) to assess the potential for natural hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes; (3) to evaluate the suitability of an area as a construction site; and (4) to convey information about the geologic history of an area. A geologic map is one of the most important guides for finding essential mineral resources, such as copper and petroleum, the source of gasoline and many synthetic materials, including textiles. A mineral commodity is commonly formed in a specific environment and is therefore associated with one or more specific types of rocks. For example, most gypsum, which is used in the construction of wallboards, is formed by the evaporation of water in lakes or shallow lagoons. The logical place to look for gypsum, therefore, is an area containing rocks that represent these ancient waterways.

RESEARCH INTERESTS My research interests include the study of clastic, shallow-marine depositional environments as affected by local and regional tectonics. Recent focus is investigating historic petroleum reservoirs as resulting from fault-controlled sediment traps. My current research involves reexamining and revising the Late Devonian to Early Pennsylvanian section of the Catskill Delta Complex with the goal to more accurately describe the depositional environments and sequence stratigraphy. Additional research through the Ocean Drilling Program focuses on examining the changes in ichnology with differing environmental influences.

    Extractions: Contact us Help Search Canada Site ... Acknowledgment Bedrock Geology Joints and Faults The flat-lying Paleozoic formations are transected by numerous steeply dipping joints. Joint planes vary from 30 cm to more than a metre and the spacing increases with increasing bed thickness. Numerous closely spaced joints commonly occur close to faults and are parallel to them, suggesting a genetic relationship between the joints and faults. Joints in carbonate rocks have been commonly widened by solution. Joints are commonly filled by calcite with minor pyrite, barite, celestite, and gypsum ( Williams 1991 ). Precambrian rock formations form a complex pattern of joints and folds. The entire region is transected by numerous steeply dipping normal faults and fault zones which have relative vertical displacements exceeding 785 metres in places. Identification of faults and fault zones is accurate in areas of bedrock outcrops; in areas of thick drift, the exact location of faults is not as precise as their location has to be interpolated from adjacent areas aided by the use of drillholes, geophysical survey data and fault-controlled topographic features.

Bob is also the founder of the Reactivation Research Group. more.. more.. Currently working on a NERC Ocean Margins LINK project that aims to quantify the influence of basement fault reactivation in passive margin settings. This research will compare the growth of fault systems in which there is clear basement involvement with that of ‘thin-skinned’ fault systems using high quality 2D/3D seismic data from various NE Atlantic margin basins. Other research interests include: (1) modelling relay zones on normal faults using 3D distinct element techniques; (2) constraining the thermal and rheological evolution of basement faults using finite difference models; and (3) the interaction between tectonics and sedimentation in growth faulted terranes.

    http://www.indiana.edu/~librcsd/etext/hoosier/SG-02.html
    
    Extractions: Earthquakes were probably common in southwestern Indiana when several ancient faults that are found in the bedrock were formed, but no modern earthquakes are known to have been associated with them. Even more intense earthquakes in that region have been related to the New Madrid, Missouri, seismic zone, a major area of earthquake activity in the midcontinent region of North America. In 1811-12 three major earthquakes, centered in that area, were among the greatest in recorded history. The recurrence of such earthquakes could have disastrous consequences in Indiana. Recent mapping by the Indiana Geological Survey has located many of the bedrock faults in southern Indiana and has shown that they have been inactive in recent times. Increased knowledge of these structures will also help in exploring for and developing coal and petroleum that are associated with these faulted rocks.

    Extractions: Lecture Outline Cause and Occurrence of Earthquakes. The same plate tectonic activity that causes volcanoes also causes earthquakes. Subduction can create stress in the rock crust that results in slippage causing earthquakes. Earthquakes and Faults. As two plates collide, stress is built up and faults (or cracks) appear in the crust. If there is little friction along the fault, creep may occur, that is, there may be gradual movement of the ground on one or both sides of the fault. This type of fault activity does not usually result in death or injury, since there are no sudden movements. If, however, friction prevents gradual movement, the stress will built up until sudden slippage occurs along the fault. This is an earthquake. If the stress occurs in deep crust layers where rock is hot, the crust may gradually fold rather than slip (no earthquake occurs). Earthquake Focus and Epicenter. The point along a fault where movement first occurs is called the earthquake's focus . The point on the earth's surface immediately above the focus is called the earthquake's epicenter . The focus of many of Japan's earthquakes is very deep (over 100 km, or 62 mi)

    Extractions: Introduction Grand Teton National Park is the destination of more than 3 million vistors a year who are searching for a vacation spot that provides scenic splendor, a varied ecosystem with abundant wildlife, and excellent recreational opportunities. The Teton Range is the focal point of the park, rising more than 7,000 feet above the floor of Jackson's Hole which borders the mountains on the east (Fig. 1). The steep eastern front of the range is unique in the Rocky Mountains and is the result of erosion of the Precambrian crystalline rocks along the steeply dipping Teton normal fault. The summit of the Grand Teton stands 13,770 feet above sea level and is the second highest summit in the state of Wyoming. Figure 1. Grand Teton Range and adjacent Jackson's Hole, Wyoming, U.S.A. - aerial view from the north. The bedrock of the Teton Range is primarily ancient, hard crystalline rock including darker-colored metamorphic rocks (such as the Mt. Moran Gneiss) and lighter-colored igneous rocks (such as the Mt. Owen Granite) (Fig. 2). These rocks were formed during the Archean portion of Precambrian time, prior to 2.5 billion years ago, and were subsequenty intruded by later Precambrian (Proterozoic) dark-colored diabase dikes around 1.1-1.3 billion years ago. The best exposure of these dikes is on the eastern face of Mt. Moran where the "Black Dike" extends from the summit of the peak downward to Leigh Lake on the floor of the valley. The geologic map and cross section in Figure 2 portray these Precambrian crystalline rocks in purple.
