Geology Rocks

  • The fascinating, awe inspiring, beer drinking world influenced by the earth's oldest science. This blog is about all things geology. Landmarks, minerals, sedimentary deposition, pretty pictures, and humor all fall into this category.


    If you ever have questions dealing with your labs or you homeworks, ask. I will be able to find you the answer if I don't know it off the top of my head.

    Also, send me links and I will give you credit.

  • ikenbot: Winds of Mars Transform Sand Dunes Into Art Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona This enhanced-color image shows sand dunes trapped in an impact crater in Noachis Terra, Mars. Dunes and sand ripples of various shapes and sizes display the natural beauty created by physical processes. The area covered in the image is about six-tenths of a mile (1 kilometer) across. Sand dunes are among the most widespread wind-formed features on Mars. Their distribution and shapes are affected by changes in wind direction and wind strength. The image by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) was taken on Nov. 29, 2011.
