Isostasy
This document discusses the concept of isostasy, which refers to the equilibrium between the continental and oceanic crust due to gravitational forces. It was first defined in 1889 by American geologist Clarence Dutton. The main points are that the continental crust must be composed of lighter materials than the ocean floor to remain in equilibrium. Also, wherever the continental crust is thinner under the oceans, it extends below the ocean floor to maintain equilibrium. Early evidence for isostasy came from Pierre Bouguer's 1735 expedition to the Andes mountains, where he observed smaller than expected gravitational attraction that indicated compensation of the mountains' mass.
Rocks 6thgrade
Rocks are constantly forming, eroding, and moving from place to place. The heat inside the Earth melts rocks and causes volcanoes and earthquakes, which change landscapes by forming magma and altering terrain.
Concept of isostatic adjustment and isostatic models
This document discusses the geological concept of isostasy, which refers to the equilibrium between Earth's crust and mantle such that the crust "floats" at an elevation that depends on its thickness and density. It presents several theories of isostasy, including Airy's theory which proposes that thicker crustal areas sink deeper into the mantle, and Pratt's theory which suggests areas of lower crustal density project higher. The document also discusses isostatic effects from processes like deposition, erosion, and past ice sheets, as well as concepts like phase changes and Heiskanen's modification of Airy's theory.
Ch 7
The document discusses different types of atmospheric disturbances including air masses, fronts, midlatitude cyclones, and hurricanes. It provides definitions and key characteristics of each type of disturbance. Air masses are large bodies of air that have uniform properties and are classified based on their source region and temperature/humidity. Fronts are zones where air mass properties change rapidly and include warm, cold, stationary, and occluded fronts. Midlatitude cyclones are large low pressure systems that move with westerly winds and bring precipitation to populated regions. Hurricanes are intense tropical cyclones that form over warm ocean waters and have damaging winds and heavy rain.
The Earth is a System
The document discusses the key components and structure of the Earth. It describes Earth's principal systems which include the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, magnetosphere and cryosphere. It explains how the Earth was formed over 4.5 billion years ago from the solar accretion disk and discusses its layered structure, including the inner and outer core, lower and upper mantle, and crust. It also summarizes the geological processes that occur within the Earth's interior, such as plate tectonics, heat transfer, soil erosion and mineral deposition.

4 e pure 2236 paper 2
This document contains mark schemes and answers for a geography exam. It provides outlines of key points and landforms that should be included in responses about plate tectonics and weather and climate. For plate tectonics questions, it lists features of convergent, divergent and transform plate boundaries that must be mentioned. For weather and climate questions, it provides summaries of the causes and impacts of different rain types as well as monsoon systems. It also outlines expected responses on topics of global food supply, malnutrition, and the benefits and challenges of genetically modified foods.
Landforms Are Not Static
The document discusses how landforms are dynamic and change over time due to natural and human-caused processes. It analyzes data from micro-erosion meters that measured the lowering of rock surfaces over periods ranging from 2 to 32 years in various locations in Australia. The results showed that rates of lowering varied significantly between different landforms and were influenced by climate, with tropical karst lowering faster than sub-alpine karst. Individual landforms like karst streams could lower by over 2 meters in 1000 years. These findings provide context for geomorphological processes and identifying areas with high rates of change, with implications for understanding geoheritage and informing land management.
Isostasy-Geomorhology Chapter
The document discusses the geological concept of isostasy. Isostasy refers to the principle of buoyancy where land masses float on the denser underlying mantle material. It explains that mountains create indentations in the earth's crust similar to placing a heavy object on a rubber ball. It also describes early theories on isostasy from Clarence Dutton, who coined the term, and Sir George Airy, who proposed that land masses float with varying thickness but uniform density. The concept was later refined by A. Pratt to propose uniform depth but varying density between land masses.
Weather
This document discusses the different types of weathering that break down rocks and soil over time. It defines chemical weathering as the changing of rock minerals, physical weathering as the breaking down of rocks by rain and abrasion, and explains that soil is made up of different layers called horizons and that exfoliation causes layers of rock to peel off.
Yr9 Revision Powerpoint
This document provides information about plate tectonics and volcanoes for a Year 9 geography exam revision. It describes the four main types of plate boundaries: constructive where plates move apart and volcanoes form as magma rises; destructive where one plate subducts under another and friction melts the plates causing volcanic eruptions; conservative where plates slide past each other without volcanism; and collision where continental plates collide and fold mountains form. Details are given about the Montserrat volcano eruption in 1997 and its effects on the island. The document concludes with a 10 question quiz to test understanding.
Kelly Greiner
This document discusses the differences in how knives and scissors are held and used for cutting. Knives are held consistently with pressure points along the blade, while scissors have pressure points that change depending on whether they are opening or closing. The space around the hand also differs, with scissors creating a dynamic space near the palm that becomes denser when closed, while the space around a knife gets smaller and denser as the grip tightens.
Reduction of gravity data
The document discusses how gravity is affected by mass and distance from the mass, and how elevations on Earth's surface impact measurements of gravity. Gravity decreases above sea level and increases below sea level due to elevation changes. When using measurements of gravity to study underground structures, the effects of surface elevations must be removed so that only the effects of anomalous underground masses are observed.

Ch08 Tutorial
The document summarizes the results of a quiz about the moon and Mercury. The moon is deficient in volatiles and has a lower density than Earth due to having a smaller iron core. The moon's surface rocks are older and lower in volatiles than Earth's. Impact cratering is the dominant process that shaped the moon's surface features. Evidence suggests that water ice may exist at Mercury's poles as radar has returned high reflectivity from the polar regions.

The document discusses gravity anomalies and density variations in different regions based on gravity data. It shows how gravity maps reveal details about crustal thickness, tectonic features like faults and volcanic zones, and plate boundaries. Specific examples discussed include the Tibetan Plateau, Central America subduction zone, an area in Chugoku, Japan, and the state of Florida in the US. Regional gravity data can be used to model density changes associated with plate tectonics, crustal evolution, and volcanic and tectonic activity.
Kar Kar Geothermal Field Work
The USF team reviewed a geophysical investigation of the Kar Kar region conducted by WesternGeco in 2011. They found that WesternGeco's magnetotelluric (MT) data and models were of high quality. Both the WesternGeco and USF MT models identified a low resistivity zone at 300m depth that correlates with a water-bearing zone found in Borehole 4. USF performed gravity modeling which identified a north-south trending basin reaching 1500m depth, consistent with mapped faults. A preliminary hydrothermal model suggested observed temperatures could result from deep circulation of meteoric waters in the basin without needing a localized heat source. Additional geophysical data is recommended around the Jermaghbyur hot springs to
Beppu geothermal field
This document summarizes a study that used gravity data to delineate underground structure in the Beppu geothermal field in Japan. Analysis of Bouguer anomaly maps revealed high anomalies in the southern and northern parts of the study area that correspond to known geological formations. Edge detection filtering of the gravity data helped identify subsurface faults, including the northern edge of the high southern anomaly corresponding to the Asamigawa Fault. Depth modeling of the gravity basement showed differences between the southern and northern hot spring areas, with steep basement slopes along faults in the south and uplifted basement in the north.
High Resolution Earth's Gravitational Field
This document summarizes the development of a new ultra-high resolution model of Earth's gravity field called GGMplus. Key points:
- GGMplus combines satellite gravity data from GOCE and GRACE with terrestrial gravity data and topography to achieve unprecedented 200m spatial resolution globally.
- It provides gridded estimates of gravity, horizontal and radial field components, and quasi-geoid heights at over 3 billion points covering 80% of the Earth's land.
- GGMplus reveals new details of small-scale gravity variations and identifies locations of minimum and maximum gravity, suggesting peak-to-peak variations are 40% larger than previous estimates. The model will benefit scientific and engineering applications.
Gravity Predictions for Earthquakes
Gravity measurements were taken in a region of China covering the south-north earthquake belt in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2005. Researchers noticed significant gravity changes in the region surrounding Wenchuan and suggested in 2006 that a major earthquake could occur there in 2007 or 2008. While gravity changes were significant at some locations, more research is needed to determine if they could be considered a precursor. Uncertainties exist from measurement errors, hydrologic effects, and crustal movements. Improved data collection and analysis could enhance using gravity monitoring for earthquake research.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value.
