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.

  • bofknowledge: Most people consider Mt. Nyiragongo to be the world’s most violent volcano.Unlike eruptions in Hawaii which are relatively slow and could be outran, Mt. Nyiragongo’s steep slope causes lava to flow as fast as 60 mph! Check out the full article here http://bowlofknowledge.blogspot.com/2011/08/extremes-of-earth.html

  • migeo: A boiling stream (by mgjefferies) This stream runs into the Firehole River from the Excelsior Geyser crater and delivers some 15000 to 17000l of water a minute at 93C into the river. Must be a shock to the trout! The colours are due to the various minerals and micro-organisms that are found in this hot environment. The whole bank side is built up by deposits from the water over time.
