Introduction Old Faithful Geyser is located in the Upper Geyser Basin (UGB) of Yellowstone National Park (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). Many of the approximately 4 million […]
3D mechanical stratigraphy of a deformed multi-layer: Linking sedimentaryarchitecture and strain partitioning Stratigraphic influence on structural style and strain distribution in deformed sedimentary sequences is […]
Describe the formation, size, and composition of cinder cones. As the name suggests, cinder cones (also called scoria cones) are built from ejected lava fragments […]
Distinguish between intensity scales and magnitude scales. Seismologists use a variety of methods to determine two fundamentally different measures that describe the size of an […]
Define weathering and distinguish between the two main categories of weathering. Weathering involves the physical breakdown (disintegration) and chemical alteration (decomposition) of rock at or […]
List the major differences between Earth’s lithosphere and asthenosphere and explain the importance of each in the plate tectonics theory. Following World War II, oceanographers […]
Describe plate–mantle convection and explain two of the primary driving forces of plate motion. Researchers are in general agreement that some type of convection—where hot […]
Domes and Basins Broad uplifting of crystalline basement rock may deform the overlying cover of sedimentary strata and generate large folds. When this upwarping produces […]
The principle of lateral continuity refers to the fact that sedimentary beds originate as continuous layers that extend in all directions until they eventually grade […]
Introduction Karstic aquifers are of particular interest and importance to Mediterranean countries, because they contain most of their groundwater resources. Their structure and dynamics are […]
