Structural features fold, fault, joints
The document discusses various geological structures including outcrops, rock deformation, folds, faults, and joints. It defines key terms like strike and dip which are used to describe the orientation of deformed rocks. It explains different types of folds such as anticlines, synclines, overturned folds, and plunging folds. It also describes various types of faults including normal faults, thrust faults, strike-slip faults, and transform faults. Additionally, it discusses joints as fractures in rocks where there is no relative displacement and classifies joints based on their orientation. In summary, the document provides an overview of structural geology and the terminology used to describe deformed rocks and geological structures.
Faults
Faults are fractures in rock where there has been relative movement between the two sides. The fault plane is the surface where displacement occurs. The hanging wall is the rock above the fault plane, and the foot wall is below. Slip can be strike slip along the fault strike, dip slip along the dip, or oblique. Faults are classified based on movement, direction of slip, and geometry. Common types are normal faults where the hanging wall moves down, reverse faults where it moves up, and strike-slip faults where movement is horizontal. Faults can impact engineering by weakening foundations and providing pathways for water.
Geology and the Environment
This document discusses Earth's structure and processes. It describes Earth's principal systems like the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and others. It explains that Earth is made of layers, including the crust, mantle, and core. The crust consists of tectonic plates that are constantly moving via processes like convection in the mantle, resulting in earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains over time. Plate tectonics and weathering/erosion shape the surface and cause environmental changes.
Sedimentary Rocks
This document discusses sedimentary rocks, including their formation, classification, and characteristic textures and structures. Sedimentary rocks form through the lithification of sediments deposited under water. They are classified based on their composition into clastic rocks (formed from fragments of pre-existing rocks), chemical/evaporite rocks (formed by chemical precipitation), and organic rocks (containing organic matter). Key textures include grain size, shape, packing, and fabric. Common structures include stratification, lamination, cross-bedding, graded bedding, and ripple marks, which provide information about depositional environments.
4 4 Deformation
The document discusses how stress deforms and shapes the Earth's crust through folding, faulting, and other tectonic processes. It describes the three main types of folds and faults, and how convergent, divergent, and strike-slip boundaries each produce different styles of deformation. Various mountain-building processes are also summarized, including folded mountains, fault-block mountains, and volcanic mountains formed at plate boundaries.
The Earth System
Earth as a system is composed of numerous interacting parts or subsystem. Earth system science attempts to integrate the knowledge from traditional sciences, geology, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology and so on. Earth is just a small part of larger system known as the solar system.
Earth system has nearly endless array of subsystems in which matter is recycled over and over again.
Orogenic mountain belts
Orogenesis is the process of mountain building that occurs during an orogeny. An orogeny involves tectonic processes like subduction and plate convergence that cause deformation and metamorphism of the Earth's crust, forming orogenic belts made of parallel rock structures. Orogenies can take tens of millions of years to build mountains and are associated with the development of foreland basins in front of the growing mountain range.
Plate Tectonics
Plate tectonics involves the slow movement of sections of Earth's crust called tectonic plates. Plates move due to convection currents in the underlying mantle. Where plates meet, they can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains as the plates push together, slide past each other, or move apart. The movement of plates over time has resulted in continents joining together in a supercontinent called Pangea and breaking apart again.

Physical Geography Lecture 17 - Oceans and Coastal Geomorphology 120716
This document discusses various topics related to coastal geomorphology including ocean currents, tides, waves, and the landforms shaped by coastal processes. It describes how tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when these three bodies are aligned and produce the highest tides, while neap tides occur at right angles and have lower tides. Extreme tides over 15 meters occur in the Bay of Fundy. Waves are affected by factors like fetch, wind strength, and duration. Refraction disperses wave energy at headlands and concentrates it in bays, shaping distinctive coastal landforms. Human structures can disrupt sediment flows and cause shoreline erosion over time.
Types of landforms (1)
Major landforms include mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains. A valley is a low-lying area between hills or mountains formed by erosion. A plateau is a large, relatively flat highland separated from surrounding land by steep slopes. A mountain is a landform over 600 meters in elevation. Plains are low-lying areas less than 100 meters above sea level. Hills are lower elevations with distinct summits. Rivers are bodies of fresh water flowing through channels to the sea or ocean.
Concept of geomorphic cycle
The document discusses William Morris Davis's theory of geographic or geomorphic cycles. It explains that Davis proposed that landforms undergo three stages: youth, mature, and old age. In the youth stage, steep valleys are carved by rivers and streams. In the mature stage, valleys widen and streams meander. In the old stage, erosion reduces the landscape to a flat plain until renewed uplift restarts the cycle. The document also notes some criticisms of Davis's theory, such as that a full cycle has never been observed and climate variability can modify the erosion process.
Structure Of The Earth
1. The Earth is composed of layers including a solid crust, mantle of hot rock, and an inner and outer core made of iron and nickel.
2. Earthquakes send seismic waves that are detected by seismometers around the world, allowing scientists to learn about the Earth's internal structure.
3. There are two types of seismic waves - P waves and S waves. S waves cannot pass through liquids, which provides evidence that the outer core is liquid based on waves not being detected on the opposite side of the Earth from some earthquakes.
Folding and faulting
This document discusses various types of folding and faulting that occur due to the movement of tectonic plates. It describes six types of folds (anticline, syncline, tight fold, overfold, recumbent fold, nappe fold) and five types of faults (normal, reverse, tear, rift valley, horst). Folds result from the compression of the earth's crust, causing it to bend upward or downward, while faults form when the crust fractures due to extreme tension or compression. Both folding and faulting shape the earth's surface over long periods of time.
Chapter 9 folding and faulting
This document discusses key concepts around folding and faulting in the Earth's crust. It describes how fold mountains like the Himalayas are formed by compressional forces causing rock layers to bend and crumple. The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates around 50 million years ago. Faulting is caused by fractures in the crust along which rock masses move, and can result in normal faults, reverse faults, and transform faults. Block mountains and rift valleys can form from the vertical displacement of rock blocks along these fault lines. The Great Rift Valley extending through Africa provides an example of a rift valley formed by tectonic forces tearing apart the Earth's crust.
Fault.pptx
Faults are fractures along which the rock masses on either side have moved relative to each other. A fault occurs when movement happens along a discontinuity due to brittle deformation from stress. Faults can be classified in different ways, including based on the apparent movement, dip angle, pattern of faults, and more. Common fault types include normal faults, reverse faults, strike-slip faults, and oblique slip faults. Normal faults occur when the hanging wall block moves downward relative to the footwall, while reverse faults occur when the hanging wall moves upward.
Weathering and erosion
The earth is continuously changing. Many factors cause these changes. View this powerpoint to learn more about the earth and these factors.

Igneous Rock Presentation
Pumice rock is the lightest and only rock that can float on water due to cooling very fast underground, which left it very light with many holes. It has a rough texture and is used to rub off dead skin. Granite is one of the most common rocks on Earth's surface, used for countertops and buildings. It cooled slowly, resulting in similarly sized crystals as marble. Basalt is very hard and forms from lava; it cooled quickly but with small crystals. Obsidian forms from volcanic glass and was historically used for tools since it is very sharp when fractured. Scoria is a volcanic rock that cooled partially underwater, leaving it with holes like pumice.
Plate Tectonics
Wegener first proposed continental drift in the early 20th century, suggesting that continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. While evidence like matching coastlines and fossil distributions supported drift, Wegener could not explain the forces driving plate motions. In the 1960s, the new theory of plate tectonics emerged, proposing that Earth's outer layer is broken into rigid plates that move over the mantle. At plate boundaries, plates diverge, converge, or slide past each other, creating geological features like mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones. Paleomagnetic and seafloor spreading evidence confirmed plate tectonics, and mantle convection is now understood to be the primary driver of
Layers of the Earth
The document describes the four main layers that make up the Earth - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, upon which we live, and is broken into tectonic plates. Below the crust is the mantle, which is divided into the upper and lower mantle. The lower mantle is very thick and contains molten rock that moves in convection currents. Deepest inside the Earth is the core, with a liquid outer core that generates the Earth's magnetic field and a solid inner core under intense heat and pressure.
The great african rift valley(ihe project)
The document provides information about the Great African Rift Valley, including that it was formed by the divergence of the African and Arabian tectonic plates, extends from Jordan to Mozambique, and houses many lakes and volcanoes. It discusses the social, environmental, economic, and political impacts of the rift valley, such as cultural events, tourism, water access issues, and conflicts over land. Earthquakes commonly occur due to ongoing movement along the rift.
2.2 active faults & other earthquakes source zones
This document discusses active faults and earthquake source zones in the Philippines. It defines an active fault as one that has moved within the last 10,000 years. The three types of faults are described as normal, thrust/reverse, and strike-slip. Some of the most destructive earthquakes in Philippine history are noted, including the 1990 Luzon earthquake. The Philippine Fault Zone and Valley Fault System are identified as two of the most important active faults. Trenches are also described as earthquake generators where tectonic plates are subducting. The potential impacts of worst case earthquakes on the West Valley Fault and Manila Trench impacting Metro Manila are presented.
Alluvial Fan Systems
Alluvial fans are steeply sloped landforms found at the base of mountains that experience significant changes from debris flow deposits near the mountain to braided stream deposits in the middle fan and sheet flow deposits near the fan toe. Alluvial fan deposits include a variety of poorly sorted facies deposited by debris flows, braided streams, and sheet flows such as breccia, gravel, sand, and mud.

Glaciers
- Glaciers are large persistent bodies of ice that form where snow accumulation exceeds melting over many years. Their sheer weight and plasticity causes them to slowly flow under gravity.
- The approximate areas covered by glaciers worldwide are provided, totaling nearly 15 million square kilometers, with over half of that in Antarctica and Greenland.
- Glaciers are classified by their location and behavior, such as ice sheets, ice caps, valley glaciers, and tidewater glaciers.
Formation of igneous rocks
The document discusses different methods of classifying igneous rocks, including based on their chemical composition (e.g. silica content into acid/felsic, intermediate, basic/mafic, and ultramafic types), mineralogy (presence of saturated vs. unsaturated minerals), texture (phaneritic or aphanitic), and mode of occurrence (intrusive vs. extrusive). It also describes classification based on the proportions of light-colored minerals like quartz and feldspar versus dark-colored minerals like pyroxene and olivine.
Earths Structure
The document discusses the structure of the Earth by comparing it to an apple. It explains that both have a thin outer crust/skin, a thick inner core, and layers in between. The Earth has an inner solid core and outer liquid core of iron and nickel. Between the core and crust is the mantle, made of solid but hot rock. The crust floats on the mantle and is divided into thinner oceanic crust and thicker continental crust made of different materials.
Plate Tectonics Intro
This document provides an introduction to the theory of plate tectonics. It discusses the internal structure of the Earth and how the crust is made up of different types of plates. It then explains Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1915 and describes the major tectonic plates. Various lines of evidence that support plate tectonics are mentioned, such as the fit of continental shelves, matching rock units and mountain ranges, and similar fossil distributions. The importance of understanding plate tectonics to explain landforms and predict natural hazards is also noted. Finally, the different types of plate boundaries are outlined, including where earthquakes and volcanoes are most common.
Landforms[1]
The document defines and describes 10 different types of landforms: mountains, valleys, plains, plateaus, islands, lakes, oceans, coasts, deserts, and rivers. Mountains are landforms that are much higher than the surrounding area. Oceans are the largest bodies of water on Earth. Rivers are long flowing bodies of water.
Unit 2
The document discusses the structure and composition of the Earth. It is divided into layers - the crust, mantle, and core. The crust consists of tectonic plates that are in constant movement. The Earth's surface features various types of relief including mountains, valleys, plains, and coastal landforms. Oceans cover most of the planet and are composed of salt water. The water cycle moves water between oceans, atmosphere, and land via evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Hydrology
- 97% of Earth's water is salt water found in oceans and seas, while only 3% is freshwater. Most freshwater is frozen in glaciers and ice sheets near the poles.
- Water cycles between the hydrosphere (oceans, lakes, rivers, atmosphere, and land) through the processes of evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and precipitation. This is known as the water or hydrologic cycle.
- The water cycle involves water evaporating from surfaces, transpiring from plants, condensing in clouds, and falling as precipitation to then collect and flow across the land and into oceans, only to repeat the cycle.

Landforms
Landforms are natural shapes or features on the Earth's surface. There are many different types of landforms including mountains, valleys, canyons, plains, plateaus, islands, lakes, oceans, coasts, deserts, and rivers. Each landform has distinct characteristics such as mountains being higher than surrounding land while valleys are low-lying areas between mountains.
Landforms 1
Landforms are natural features of the earth's surface including mountains, valleys, canyons, plains, plateaus, peninsulas, islands, lakes, oceans, coasts, deserts, and rivers. There are many different types of landforms found on earth defined by their elevation, surrounding landscape, and composition of land or water.
Geogfeatures
This document provides information about major geographic features of the Earth. It defines and describes deserts, peninsulas, islands, continents, mountains, rivers, streams, and oceans. Deserts cover approximately one-third of the Earth's land and form in low-lying areas where precipitation is blocked. Peninsulas are lands surrounded by water on three sides, connected to the mainland by an isthmus. Islands are smaller than continents and surrounded by water. The seven continents are named. Mountains are formed by geological forces and uplift in the Earth's crust over long periods. Rivers, streams, and creeks refer to flowing water but differ in size. Oceans cover most of the Earth's surface and there are four
LANDFORMS
Landforms are shaped over hundreds to thousands of years by both external and internal geological processes. External processes like erosion and deposition are caused by factors such as wind and water and shape the Earth's surface by transporting and depositing sediments. Internal processes like volcanic eruptions and plate tectonics are caused by movement in the Earth's core and mantle and result in changes below the surface like uplifting and sinking of layers. Common landforms include mountains, which are formed via processes like folding, faulting, and volcanic activity; plains, which are formed by processes like deposition, flooding, and lava flows; and valleys, which are formed by erosion from rivers, glaciers, and other forces.

Experimental techniques
This document discusses various techniques for purifying substances, including filtration, crystallization, distillation, and chromatography. It provides examples of how each technique works and the types of mixtures it can be used to separate. Key points include:
- Filtration separates insoluble solids from liquids by passing the mixture through a filter paper.
- Crystallization forms pure crystals of a soluble solid by slowly evaporating the solvent from a saturated solution.
- Distillation boils a liquid mixture and condenses the vapor to separate components with different boiling points.
- Chromatography separates mixtures by exploiting differences in how substances partition between a stationary and mobile phase.

Chromatography windows 8
Chromatography is a technique used to separate mixtures of substances that are soluble in the same solvent. A spot of the mixture is placed on filter paper and a solvent is used to carry the different substances along the paper at different rates, based on how strongly they interact with the solvent and paper. This allows the different substances to be visually identified based on how far they travel up the paper compared to samples of single known substances run alongside the mixture.
Scientific enquiry
The scientific method involves 6 key steps: 1) making observations and recording them, 2) asking a question and developing a testable hypothesis, 3) conducting research, 4) performing an experiment, 5) recording results, and 6) drawing a conclusion about whether the hypothesis was confirmed or not. The document then discusses the concept of variables in an experiment, defining the independent variable as the factor that is deliberately changed, the dependent variable as the factor that is measured, and controlled variables as other factors kept the same.
Lab safety rules, safety symbols and tools
This document provides information about lab safety rules, common safety symbols seen in laboratories, and descriptions of various laboratory tools and equipment. It lists 10 lab safety rules but does not specify them. It also describes safety symbols for substances that are explosive, flammable, corrosive, toxic, radioactive, pose environmental dangers, or are oxidizing, gases under pressure, or health hazards. Finally, it provides the names, uses, and simple diagrams of common lab tools including test tubes, beakers, conical flasks, Bunsen burners, tripods and gauzes, clamps and stands, funnels and filter paper, round-bottom and flat-bottom flasks, separating funnels, and delivery tubes.

Electric circuits 1
The document discusses electric circuits and their components. It explains that an electric circuit requires a power source, conducting materials like wires, components that use the electricity such as light bulbs, and switches. It also describes how to draw circuit diagrams using symbols and discusses key circuit concepts like current, voltage, resistance, and Ohm's law. Ohm's law defines the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit. The document uses examples like dimmer switches and defibrillators to illustrate these circuit principles.
Plants life cycles
1. Seeds need certain conditions like water, light, and warmth to germinate and grow into new plants.
2. Flowers have both male and female parts that work together to create new plants through pollination and fertilization. Pollen is transferred by insects from the male stamen to the female stigma and ovary.
3. The process of reproduction through spreading seeds and pollinating flowers is important for the circle of life as it allows plants and animals to continue their species and prevent extinction.
9 c plants-and-photosynthesis-101oqsd
Plants undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food. Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and chlorophyll. It occurs in the leaves of plants, specifically in the chloroplasts of leaf cells. The process produces glucose and oxygen and provides plants with the energy and nutrients they need to grow.
25 people and the planet part1
Hunter-gatherers lived in East Africa about 200,000 years ago and gradually spread across continents. Around 10,000 years ago, some groups in the Middle East began farming, which allowed population growth and specialization in crafts. Early machines like watermills and windmills harnessed energy from water and wind. The steam engine was invented in the 18th century and powered the Industrial Revolution, but also caused pollution. Today various renewable and non-renewable sources provide energy for transportation, electricity generation, and more.
27 people and planet(part3)
The document provides 5 tips for reducing environmental damage through conserving energy at home, such as switching off unused lights and electrical equipment, using low energy light bulbs, only running washing machines with full loads, drying clothes outside instead of using driers, and wearing warm clothes instead of using heaters. It also lists large-scale projects like setting up recycling schemes, developing alternative energy sources, reducing CFCs and harmful pesticides, and creating pollution-reducing devices. The document concludes by stating these efforts require work from governments and companies.
26 people and planet part 2
This document summarizes several ways that human activities have impacted the environment. It discusses how the development of farming, industry, and fossil fuel use has destroyed natural habitats and introduced chemicals like pesticides and pollutants. It also describes how the introduction of gases like CFCs in the early 20th century were found to be damaging the ozone layer. The extra carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels may cause global warming and changes to habitats worldwide. Acid rain can damage soil and kill plants from gases emitted by volcanoes, lightning, power stations, and factories.
Heat transfer
Heat can be transferred through three main processes: conduction, convection and radiation. Radiation involves the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves called infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is able to travel through empty space, which is how heat from the Sun travels to the Earth. All objects emit infrared radiation, with the amount emitted depending on the object's surface properties - matte black surfaces are the best emitters and absorbers of infrared radiation.
Static electricity
Static charge builds up when two insulating materials are rubbed together through friction, such as a plastic comb moving through hair. This friction causes electrons to be transferred from one material to the other, leaving one material with an excess of electrons and an overall negative charge, and the other material with a deficit of electrons and an overall positive charge. Static charge comes from the transfer of electrons between atoms during rubbing, as electrons can sometimes be removed from their atoms.
Week 7 10 turning effects
This document discusses balanced and unbalanced forces. It defines a moment as a turning effect caused by a force, and explains that the size of a moment depends on two factors: the size of the force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot point. It provides the moment equation and gives examples of moments, including a see-saw. It introduces the principle of moments, which states that for an object to be balanced, the sum of clockwise moments must equal the sum of anticlockwise moments. Finally, it defines the center of mass as the point where all the mass of an object seems to be concentrated.
9.10.3 pressure
This document discusses the concept of pressure in physics. It defines pressure as the force applied over an area, and provides an example comparing the pressure exerted by a fingertip versus a palm. Pressure is measured in units of pascals or other derivatives of newtons per area. The document explains that applying the same force over a larger area results in lower pressure. It provides examples of how high and low pressure are used in different situations like shoes on muddy ground, skis on snow, and knives cutting food. Finally, it briefly discusses how pressure increases with depth in liquids and can be transmitted through a liquid.
Density
1. Density is defined as mass per unit volume and can be used to compare how much mass is contained within a certain volume of different materials.
2. The density of a material can be calculated by measuring its mass and volume, with density equaling mass divided by volume.
3. There are different methods to determine the density of regular solids, irregular solids, liquids, and gases depending on whether their volume needs to be measured directly or determined through displacement.
Ch.16.magnets and electromagnets
The document discusses magnetism and electromagnets. It begins by identifying which materials are magnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. It then explains what magnetic fields are, how they can be visualized using iron filings, and how their patterns differ depending on whether two magnets' north or north/south poles are brought together. The document also explores how electromagnets work and can be made stronger by increasing the number of coils or electrical current. Electromagnets have advantages over permanent magnets in applications like recycling plants due to being able to be turned on and off.
7 l the_solar_system_and_beyond
Scientists' ideas about the solar system have developed over time from ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Ptolemy, who believed the Earth was the center, to Copernicus, who proposed the Sun was the center in the 16th century. Kepler later suggested elliptical orbits and Newton developed the law of universal gravitation. In the 18th-19th centuries, Herschel discovered Uranus and Hubble showed the universe is expanding, leading to the Big Bang theory. Major advances were made through improved telescope technology by Galileo and others.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
