Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Geologic Monitoring is a practical, nontechnical guide for land managers, educators, and the public that synthesizes representative methods for monitoring short-term and long-term change in geologic features and landscapes. A prestigious group of subject-matter experts has carefully selected methods for monitoring sand dunes, caves and karst, rivers, geothermal features, glaciers, nearshore marine features, beaches and marshes, paleontological resources, permafrost, seismic activity, slope movements, and volcanic features and processes. Each chapter has an overview of the resource; summarizes features that could be monitored; describes methods for monitoring each feature ranging from low-cost, low-technology methods (that could be used for school groups) to higher cost, detailed monitoring methods requiring a high level of expertise; and presents one or more targeted case studies."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Download or read book Great Lakes Tectonic Zone revisited written by Paul Kibler Sime and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes tectonic zone (GLTZ) is a Late Archean crustal boundary (paleosuture) at least 1,200 kilometers long that juxtaposes a Late Archean greenstone-granite terrane (Wawa subprovince of Superior province) on the north and an Early to Late Archean gneiss terrane (Minnesota River Valley subprovince) on the south. Recent mapping of an exposed seg- ment in the Marquette, Michigan, area provides new data on the vergence of the structure. These data necessitate reexami- nation of the COCORP seismic-reflection profiling in central Minnesota, which has been the principal basis for past views on the vergence of the GLTZ. In the Marquette area, the GLTZ is a northwest-striking mylonite zone about 2.3 kilometers wide that is superposed on previously deformed rocks of both Archean terranes. Shear zone walls strike N. 55°-60° W., and foliation in mylonite within the GLTZ strikes (average) N. 70° W. and dips 75° SW. A stretching lineation plunges 42° in a S. 43° E. direction. Hinges of tight to open (sheath?) folds of both Z- and S-symmetries plunge parallel to the lineation. The attitude of the lineation (line of tectonic transport and X finite strain axis), together with asymmetric kinematic indicators, indicates that collision at this locality was oblique; the collision resulted in dextral- thrust shear along the boundary, northwestward vergence, and overriding of the greenstone-granite terrane by the gneiss terrane. In contrast, the seismic-reflection profiling in central Minnesota has been interpreted by several investigators to indicate that the GLTZ is a shallowly north dipping (=30°) structure, which implies southward vergence on a north-dipping subduction zone. We suggest, alternatively, that the shallow- dipping reflectors in the seismic profiles indicate lithologic contacts related to recumbent and gently inclined folds (D1), perhaps enhanced by ductile deformation zones, and that the Morris fault is indeed the GLTZ. The Morris fault strikes about N. 70° E., dips steeply southeastward, is transparent in seismic profiles, appears to be narrow, and coincides with the inferred position of the GLTZ as shown on earlier maps. The oblique collision along northwest-trending segments of the GLTZ would be expected to produce dextral transpression across a large region north of the GLTZ, and may have produced an early nappe-forming event (D1) as well as younger upright folds (D2), and as a later, more brittle event, the numerous dextral faults and conjugate sinistral faults that are widespread in the Wawa and adjacent subprovinces.

Download or read book Preliminary Geologic Map of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks California written by James Gregory Moore and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes and provides background for the accompanying preliminary geologic map of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks compiled on the special topographic map of the parks at a scale of 1:125,000. This geologic map of the parks is one-half the scale of the 12 published geological quadrangle maps (scale 1:62,500) that cover more khan half of the parks area. Therefore it was necessary to simplify cartographic detail and to portray a minimum number of lithologic units. .... This open file map, and the explanatory text, is intended as a general assessment of the regional geology of the parks area, as a resource for planning further geologic research in the parks, and as a guide for the park interpretive staff in the geologic framework and geologic history of the parks. It is also an initial step in the preparation of a final map to accompany a popularized report on the geology of the parks."--Page 2.
