- 171: Drumlin Formation By Catastrophic Flooding
- ... in bedrock are present at South Baymouth on Manitoulan Island. Their surfaces are striated and also pockmarked with concretionary cavities, resembling small partial potholes a few cm in diameter, indicating their erosion occurred as the rock was being lithified, aligned near the eroded surface. Subsequent currents with a southerly flow were involved in the excavation of Georgian Bay, as indicated by the patterns of drumlin orientation. The following paragraphs list some ... is commendable, and the scale of former currents which formed the drumlins should match the effects we observe. But the subglacial meltwater environment seems too limited in scope, and unsuited for explaining the excavation of rock basins of lakes such as the lower Great Lakes, and the Finger Lakes of New York, and the many other large lakes along the border of the Canadian Shield in Canada. Whereas the drumlins occur ... water could accumulate? Ice has no effective tensile strength. Thus, any unconstrained portion of an ice sheet above a moving torrent would move with the water, breaking up and flowing as icebergs with it. Any rock load that might be encased in the ice would go with the flood. Catastrophic emergence of floodwaters from under an ice sheet would rapidly destroy the ice sheet. Earth heat cannot have melted continental ...

- ... well as in the Alps. Finally, the flat areas, including the great Po-Venetian Plain, are basically formed of mixed deposits that are mainly fluvial in origin (conglomerates, gravels, sands, clays). The great variety of rock types characterizing the Italian framework is mainly the result of a complex geological past, distinguished by marked environmental alternations - now marine, now continental - as well as frequent changes in climatic conditions. Furthermore, even if present mountain forms are considered to be rather recent, Italy does contain extremely old rock formations. Some of the metamorphic outcrops in the Alpine arc and in the Sardinian-Corsican and Calabrian-Peloritan massifs were formed before the Palaeozoic era, that is more than 600 million years ago, and therefore ... covered by a large marine basin on whose bottom (which varied considerably in depth) was deposited on different occasions material of various types. This was to produce, following a process of compaction and orogenesis, disparate rock formations: limestones, dolomites, sandstones, marls, etc. In particular, in the northeastern area there formed extensive coralline reefs from which the present Dolomites are derived. Towards the end ot the Mesozoic era the progressive moving ...
- 176: Nuclear Waste Disposal At Yucca Mountain: Right or Wrong?
- ... radioactive materials. Subterranean storage is the most viable method that technology will allow. The aforementioned Yucca mountains provide all the desirable features for this method. The mountains were formed by a volcanic eruption and the rock surrounding the site is a type called volcanic tuff. It is a very stable kind of rock, and often encases salt beds, which are ideal for nuclear containment. These beds are virtually waterproof, so water will not seep down in the groundwater residing beneath the storage structure. Also, fractures in the salt are self-sealing, which will stop radiation for simply floating up to the surface through pores, cracks, or faults in the rock. This type of host rock (the rock that surrounds the site) will give the site both a man-made and natural protection. But perhaps the most beneficial protection is the remoteness of the location ...
- 177: Geothermal Energy
- ... The mantel is said to be made of metasilicate and perovskite. The continental crust consists of igneous and sedimentary rocks. The oceanic crust consists of the same with a substantial layer of sediments above the rock. The crust covers the outer ridged layer of the earth called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is divided into seven main continental plates. These continental plates are constantly moving on a viscous base. The viscosity of ... not produce the constant pressure that was required for maximum efficiency so the efficiency decreased. There are two methods of drilling wells, mud drilling and air drilling. Mud drilling tends to clog up the porous rock but it is easier on the drilling machinery. Air drilling leaves the porous rock free for water and steam flow but it is very hard on machinery due to abrasion and heating. Air drilling is therefore very expensive. Geothermal wells do not always maintain constant pressure. New wells ...
- 178: Personal Writing: The Burnside Project
- ... toward thoughts of where I might ride soon enough. The choices are nearly endless. Though only a couple hundred feet squared, not a large area, it is chock full of concrete delights. Formations of liquid rock, hardened into a myriad of varying surfaces that angle, bend, curve, and spill into the floor, from towering heights, to enormous pits. A vast array of shapes masterfully crafted to blend beautifully into an ever ... follow the energy of this concrete beast living under the Burnside bridge. Started as a project by a few who were dedicated, it has become much more than its name implies. My ears lose the roll of the other skaters wheels as he stops across the way.

- 180: Existentialism
- ... like Anouilh, Camus accidentally became the spokesman for the French Underground when he wrote his famous essay, "Le Mythe de Sisyphe" or "The Myth of Sisyphus". Sisyphus was the man condemned by the gods to roll a rock to the top of a mountain, only to have it roll back down again. For Camus, this related heavily to everyday life, and he saw Sisyphus an "absurd" hero, with a pointless existance. Camus felt that it was necessary to wonder what the meaning of ...
