When rocks shear, many interesting features are presented which can only be seen under high magnification. A number of these are demonstrated.
Starts by showing how ores are extracted from an underground mine in Cornwall and looks at the variety of minerals found in these ores. Then looks at ways of separating minerals from mined ore using...
An introduction to the exploitation of two forms of geothermal energy in the UK (aquifers and the hydrofracturing of hot dry rocks) as sources of hot water for space heating and other low temperature process...
A survey of modern techniques and equipment used by geologists to visualise underground geological formations in order to help locate reserves of oil and gas. Shows seismic and magnetic surveys in operation...
A brief review of limestone as a resource. Considers the general significance of limestone for industrial, agricultural and constructional use, how it was formed and its distribution in the UK. With the help...
Examines the scale of energy involved in earthquakes and demonstrates the relationship between energy of the event and destruction. Seismic detection from the 12th century to the present day is investigated...
The composition of the continental crust beneath Scotland is deduced by combining geophysical measurements such as reflection seismic and gravity anomaly data with observations of the composition of the...
Compares the composition of the earth’s upper mantle, oceanic crust, upper and lower continental crust and shows how the chemical compositions of these regions are related to their mineral chemistry. The...
The geomorphological history of the Bay of Mont St Michel is reconstructed from the peak of the last glaciation, through the Flandrian transgression, to the rapid depositional history of recent times. The...
Dr Dan McKenzie, FRS, was one of the research scientists whose work resulted in the revolutionary theory of plate tectonics in 1970. He describes his work and ideas and explains how these contributed to the...
