Dating methods to place events
I have four rocks Granite, Slate Limestone, and Shale or Mudstone. Field setting of the rocks is as follows: On the bottom is Granite either side of the granite is Slate, on top of Slate is Limestone, the top layer is Shale or Mudstone In the field setting of the above rocks there is a selection of of possible events in the ...continues
Strata dating using relative dating methods
The question was about four rocks Granite, Slate, Limestone and Shale or Mudstone. For example, the field setting of rocks is as follows: On the bottom is what I think to be a pluton of granite either side is slate, on top of slate is limestone, and on top of limestone is Shale or Mudstone. In the field setting of the above, ...continues
(i) What environment and processes are involved in the formation of the following rock types: Granite Slate Limestone Shale or mudstone (ii) Using relative dating methods place the following events in the correct chronological order (most recent first). Some events may be used more than once. • A time gap in depositi ...continues
Can you explain : 1. The rock cycle 2. Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock textures 3. Plate tectonic setting and compositional variations
Can you explain how the processes of rock formation can be inferred from texture and mineral composition?
Using the following list of events, table of information and diagram :- i) Place the events in chronological order starting with the oldest event. Note: events may be used more than once. ii) Write a brief geological history of the area. How are the rocks in the sequence formed and what environmental conditions led to the ...continues

Earth Science: Forces Within the Earth
I need your assistance in putting together a response to the following earth science question: How do forces within the earth especially in the Lithosphere, asthenosphere, and Mesosphere determine and /or cause earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, faults, fold fractures, continental plate movement and rock formation? Please ...continues
Considering the theory of plate tectonics and the movement of landmasses over geologic time, would you expect atmospheric circulation of the past to be the same as we see today? Why or why not? Consider the factors that determine global wind patterns and whether they have changed over time.
Compare and discuss those stream characteristics that decrease in a downstream direction with those that increase downstream. Also, indicate and discuss whether these changing stream characteristics tend to favor erosion or deposition of sediments.
