This document summarizes different geological processes including rock formation, weathering, material movement, erosion, and the impact of past glaciations. It describes three main rock types - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - and the processes of mechanical and chemical weathering that break rocks into smaller pieces. Material is moved via mass movement, glaciers, rivers, and other processes. Coastal, water, ice, and wind erosion shape the landscape over time. Past glaciations left behind features like moraines and U-shaped valleys while influencing water supply and transportation routes.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.

Chapter 5 the force of geology 1 meeting
1. The Force of Geology-Part Three
Endogenic and Exogenic Process
Widodo, S.T., M.T.
Mining Geology SMK N 1 Balikpapan
Weathering, Material Movement & Erosion
2. Rock Formation
Igneous
Cooled molten crustal material (magma)
E.g. Basalt, granite
Sedimentary
Sediments laid down in layers and from high pressure
E.g. Sandstone, shale, limestone
Metamorphic
The 2 rocks above can be later compacted again, by
heat & pressure, and so undergo further change
E.g. Marble derived from limestone
3. Weathering
Process of breaking rock into pieces
The first step in the formation of soil
Mechanical weathering
Process of rocks breaking down by physical force, e.g. tree
roots, freezing & thawing - pot holes. See next slide.
Chemical weathering
Process of breaking down rock by:
Exposure to air and water
Acids released by decaying vegetation
Oxidation (rust due to iron content)
Leaching (nutrients being washed downwards beyond plant
roots)
Decomposition of calcium carbonate
4. Mechanical
Frost Wedging: the most important type of mechanical weathering;
freeze-thaw repetition. Also responsible for city pot-holes.
Personal home experiment
15. Acid Rain
Compounds from burning coal, oil and gas
react chemically with water forming acids.
Acid rain causes very rapid chemical
weathering
16. Karst Topography
A type of landscape in rainy regions where
there is limestone near the surface,
characterized by caves, sinkholes, and
disappearing streams.
Created by chemical weathering of limestone
19. Movement of Weathered Material
Mass movement could be:
Slow gradual movement occurring near the surface, like
soil creep
Or in dramatic movements such as rock slides, landslides
and mudflows
20.
21. Glaciers
Slow moving “rivers of ice” flowing from colder to
warmer regions. They move only a few feet per year.
They act like conveyor belts, picking up sediment and
dropping it in depositional areas
These glacial sediments are called, Moraines
Terminal moraines – found at the very end of
glacier
Lateral moraines – found along the sides
Medial moraines – found in the middle
See next slide
24. Impact of Past Glaciations
Soils & Landforms
Advance and retreat of glaciers leave behind highly
fertile soil and various landforms (see next slide).
Water supply & Transportation routes
Retreating glaciers left sand and gravel deposits
yielding large supplies of ground water
Also, water transport is heavily influenced by
glacial melt water channels left behind by receding
glaciers. E.g. Great Lakes, Hudson Bay, etc. See
pg 117.
27. Erosion
The process by which water, ice, wind or
gravity moves fragments of rock and soil.
28.
29. Coastal Erosion
Longshore currents:
Currents traveling parallel to the shore, caused by
repeated breaking of waves. Capable of carrying
enormous amounts of sediment, and changing the form
of beaches.
