...Level Material History of Rock Worksheet Leah Bechtel 12/09/2012 SCI/245 Robert Dillon Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. The role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rock is extremely important. Igneous rock is formed from magma that reaches the continental and oceanic crust or through hot spots that are around the world. There are three different places where igneous rocks can form; where the lithospheric plates pull apart at mid ocean ridges, where plates come together at seduction zones, and where continental crust is pushed together making the crust thicker and allowing it to heat to a melting point. The word igneous comes from the Latin word for fire, igneous rocks start off as a hot, fluid material which is usually erupted from the Earth’s surface as lava, or magma at shallow depths or deep depths. Magma is a mush like material that can carry a load of minerals, but people often think of lava and magma as a liquid like material of molten metals. The three types of igneous rocks are extrusive, intrusive and platonic rocks. Extrusive rocks are rocks that form and cool on the crust of the Earth whether it is on the continental crust or the oceanic crust. Extrusive rocks cool quickly, within a few seconds to months and they have invisible or very small grains; extrusive rocks have an aphanitic texture. Intrusive rocks are rocks that form within already existing rocks causing sills and...

...History of Rocks As explained in Visualizing Geology, rocks are the words that tell the story of Earth’s long history and minerals are the letters that form the words. While this report will not be discussing minerals, it will introduce the history of rocks and how they are affected by plate tectonics. The focus of this report is on two of the three types of rocks, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Plate tectonics plays a key role in the life of these types of rocks. So let’s get started by first explaining igneous rocks. Next metamorphic rocks will be explained. Lastly, plate tectonics and the affect this theory has on both types of rock. Igneous rocks are rocks that form from magma that has been cooled and solidified. Igneous rocks have a structure that is made up of crystals. Igneous rocks are placed into to categories. As stated before, rocks are created by minerals. The process of a liquid forming into a solid is known as crystallization. The first category is extrusive or volcanic. These rocks are cooled on the top of the Earth’s surface. Extrusive rocks have microscopic crystals because it cools relatively quickly and the crystals do not have a chance to become as large as they could be. Extrusive rocks are formed by lava cooling. The second category is intrusive or plutonic. These rocks are cooled below the Earth’s surface. Intrusive rock is formed by the cooling of magma. Intrusive rocks have crystals that can be seen with the naked eye because the cooling process is relatively...

...THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND POP "POP" is short for "popular" and there has always been popular music. But until the 1950s there wasn't a style of music just for young people. That all changed when rock and roll began. Since then, hundreds of styles and stars have come and gone. Musical technology has changed a lot too. Here, we look at the highlights of rock and pop's forty-year history. The '50s Rock and roll began in America. Some of its first big stars were black - for example Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Little Richard. They brought traditional "rhythm and blues" to a big new TV audience. Then, white singers began to copy them. One of the first was Bill Haley. He and his band, The Comets, recorded an early rock and roll classic, "Rock Around The Clock". There were other white "rockers", too, like Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly. But the most popular of them all was Elvis Aaron Presley. Elvis wasn't like the American singers of the '40s and early '50s. He wasn't neat, sweet and safe. He was rough, tough and dangerous. His music was dangerous, too. He called himself "The King of Rock and Roll" and played an electric guitar. Teenagers all over the world fell in love with this new style. They bought millions of his records. Suddenly the younger generation didn't just have money, cars and televisions - they had a hero, too. The '60s Pop exploded in the '60s. After Elvis, hundreds of new groups and singers appeared. In Britain, two groups quickly became more...

...PBS Videos 6-10 In video 6: “Blues in Technicolor”, we learned a lot about how LSD played a major role in rock music. One of the popular figures who promoted LSD was writer Ken Kesey. One of the most prominent groups during this era of rock music was “The Grateful Dead”, who originated in San Francisco, and were heavily into improvising. There was a neighborhood at this time where the early psychedelic bands lived, and this place was called Haight Ashbury. This era also saw what was to be the end of the Beatle’s touring days, because they decided that they would rather experiment with new directions in the music industry. One of the first bands out of San Francisco to have success with pop was “The Jefferson Airplane”. Another major accomplishment from this era was in 1968 when LPs outsold 45s for the first time ever. This era of strong hippy movement which lasted a long while, came to an end by late 1969. In video 7, we learned about “The Velvet Underground” band and how they were associated with famous pop artist Andy Warhol. This same band which was popular in the 1960s, was also a major influence to Jim Morrison. Another extremely popular band during this era was “The Doors”. “The Doors” were major influence to “Iggy Pop”, along with “The Velvet Underground”. One of the most prominent figures in rock during this time was Alice Cooper, and his band. His band was really the definition of cultureless American society. Alice Cooper gained a lot of press for an...

...Use the following table to compare extrusive and intrusive rocks. Describe and compare each type in at least 150 words. Extrusive Rock Intrusive Rock Extrusive igneous rocks are formed at the crust's surface as a result of the partial melting of rocks within the mantle and crust. Extrusive Igneous rocks cool and solidify quicker than intrusive igneous rocks. When lava is exposed to the atmosphere or water outside of the earth, this causes the lava to cool very rapidly in comparison to intrusive rocks. This rapid cooling does not allow the rock time to form large crystals in the way that intrusive rocks do. Extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture known to geologists as aphanitic, because the mineral crystals present within the rock are very small. It is much more difficult to distinguish between the different types of extrusive igneous rocks than between different types of intrusive igneous rocks because the minerals are mostly fine-grained. Examples of extrusive igneous rocks are basalt and obsidian. Rhyolite is the extrusive counterpart of granite due to its high silica concentration, but fine-grained texture. One form of igneous rocks, intrusive rocks, derives directly from magma and solidifies within the earth. Since intrusive rocks are within the earth, they cool very slowly, taking anywhere from thousands to millions of years to cool enough to completely solidify. The cooling rate of intrusive rocks enables the crystals to form that are visible to the naked...

...The history of Bangladeshi rock music started in 1960 when a handful of self-taught musicians got together to create original music tracks. Their efforts resulted in the birth of the "Bangla Rock Scene". Among the pioneering groups in the late '60s were bands such as Windy Side of Care (Rafique Mazhar Islam Saju and Rafi Omar) (Ex-Iolites), The Lightnings, Rambling Stones, Ugly Phases and Insex Dui. They didn’t have the privilege of expensive instruments or sound systems, which present-day rockers now take for granted.[1] In 1963, "Zinga Goshty" was the first[citation needed]Orchestra Band in Bangladesh, formed in Chittagong by a young group of students of Chittagong College. [2] Azam Khan (Uchharon) a.k.a. "the Legend", a.k.a. "the Imaginative Composer", emerged around early and late 70s. Happy Akhand's "Abar Alo Elo Je Shondha" is a well known song. His premature death was a big blow to all of the musicians who were influenced by Happy's passion for music. His contemporaries include some popular figures such as late Firoze Shahi, Ferdaus Wahid and Fakir Alamgir. Among the old bands there are many bands that are still active, such as is Souls (1970), Feedback (1976), Miles (1978), and others. [3] Progression (1980s) While the early phase of Bangladeshi rock is marked by romantic songs and mellow tunes, the scenario began to change in the '80s. "Warfaze" was a progressive rock band of the country in this period. "Feedback" was another band in the `80s with their album...

...Peter Clark Professor James Smethurst AFROAM 151 December 5, 2012 The History Of Rock and Roll: Copyright Not Included The history of black America is one filled with exploitation and abuse. Time and time again we see the “cultural rape” of the black community. Whether it be style, lingo, or music white culture has been “borrowing” from black culture since the early history of the United States. It is so obvious it almost passes unnoticed. For example the handshake has largely been replaced in youth culture by a dap or a fist pound, both remnant of black culture in the 60’s. Even hello has been replaced with “yo” an interjection made popular in the black vernacular. One cultural phenomena that has been largely covered up as African-American in origin. The history of rock and roll is long and intricate drawing its roots from early American R&B, among other places. While most of the true innovators of rock music have been widely overlooked, white musicians have been profiting greatly off of the innovations made in music by black recording artists, specifically in the arena of rock and roll. It is widely accepted that rock music has its roots in the american blues. The history of the blues dates all the way back to slave plantations. This genre comes specifically from African-American folk music. Julio Finn the author of The Bluesman stated that: [White blues performers] can never be bluespeople...because the blues is not something they live but something they...

A process in mining copper is called open pit mining in which a big hole is dug in the earth that are sometimes a few thousands of yards wide. huge machinery are used to mine copper such as giant earth movers, rock crushers even blasting with dinomites is used to move large chucks of earth. luckly we are in not gunna run out of copper any thime soon. An estimated 5.8 trillionpounds of copper known worldwide, of which about .07 trillion pounds have been mined throughout history.

...1 Samuel 007:012 Samuel then took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Jeshanah and named it Ebenezer (meaning, "the Stone of Help"), for he said, "The Lord has certainly helped us!" 1 Samuel 7:12 The church has many markers to show God''s goodness Have you ever received an award? Was the award a special plaque or a trophy? Perhaps it was a certificate or some other token of recognition. The purpose of an award is to recognize and to praise persons or groups that have made noteworthy accomplishments and contributions. They generally contain the name of the honoree, a description of the deed accomplished, a date, and the name of the presenters. Recognition of some accomplishments may get bigger than a mere plaque or certificate. Statues, busts and memorials are erected around the world to note the lifetime contributions of those who distinguished themselves in the course of time or to note the site of an historic event. Whether a small certificate or a towering obelisk, awards have a way of recognizing and marking important moments in time. Tributes usually follow a significant accomplishment. Often those receiving the tribute feel undeserving and are puzzled at the praise they receive from others. We know how to recognize people for their accomplishments, but how do we recognize God when he has helped us? That was the question that puzzled David in Psalm 116:12 when he asked "What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?" David concluded that...

...Gems are highly prized minerals that have a common appeal to all cultures, and their legacy extends to prehistoric times. As far back as 20,000 years ago, our ancestors, the Cro-Magnon, ornamented their bodies with lavish strings of beads made from ivory, seashells, and gemstones (Cook). As is the custom today, the use of jewelry was determined by fashion and reflected one's rank in society. Malachite is cut into cabochons or slabs to be used in rings, necklaces, brooches, and in art objects (galleries.com). Though not a precious stone, its vibrant colour is highly prized. Possibly the earliest order of copper, malachite is believed to have been mined in a Sinai and eastern deserts of ancient Egypt from was early as 300BCE. Single crystal are uncommon; when found, they are short to long prism. Malachite is usually found as botryoidal or encrusting masses, often with a radiating fibrous structure and banded in various shades of green. The beautiful green crystal has been used since ancient times in inlay work and in carvings of churches and cathedrals as it is found in huge boulders (Bonewitz pg 125). It was also used as a pigment for paint during the 15th century in Egyptian tomb paintings and much later in European art. The Victorians were also great admirers of opaque jewelry stones, and malachite was chosen to be one of their favorites, sometimes choosing it to set in gold. It also occurs as delicate fibrous aggregates and as concentrically banded stalactites (Bonewitz pg...
