Colorado River Southeast Watershed Description Physiography and geology. less intensively developed areas are also used for a widevariety of recreational pursuits including rock hounding, sightseeing, hiking http://www.eq.state.ut.us/EQWQ/watersheds/se_colo/watershed_description.htm
Extractions: Watershed Description Physiography and Geology Climate Soils and Land Use Water ... Culture and Demographics Physiography and Geology The basin is located in the Colorado Plateau Province which centers near rhe four corners area. Elevations vary from about 3,700 feet at Lake Powell's high water lvel to 11,361 feet on Abajo Peak in the Abajo Mountains and 12,720 feet on Mount Peale in the La Sal Mountains. There are 18 peaks over 10,000 feet in elevation. Monitor Butte is a high point in western Monument Valley at 6,115 feet, over 2,000 feet above the valley floor and Navajo Mountain is 10,387 feet in elevation. The La Sal, Abajo and Navajo mountains are formed by partially eroded lacolith dome intrusions of Tertiary age. The primary river systems are the Colorado, Dolores, Green and San Juan rivers. Even though the study area ends at the state lines, the upper hydrological boundaries for these rivers extend well into Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Ther are other locally important streams throughout the basin, all of them ultimately daining into these four rivers. These streams include Castle Creek, Mill Creek, Pack Creek, Indian Creek, North and South creeks, Recapture Creek, Cottonwood Wash, McElmo Creek and Montezuma Creek. The area is extremely colorful and features spectacular rock formations, particularly in a number of state and federal parks. As a result of its natural geologic features and its close proximity to Glen Canyon and Lake Powell, the basin is a popular recreational area for both national and international tourists. Lake Powell is one of the most popular recreational sites in the western United States while the Colorado and San Juan rivers attract many who venture on river rafting trips.
I Am A Twenty My interest in planetary geology is quite vast, but I am Other hobbies/passionsinclude rock hounding, astronomy, science, dog training, painting, computers http://www.sabinesgarden.com/About.html
Extractions: I am a twenty-eight year old undergraduate and research assistant majoring in Geology. I am getting my BS in geology on May 10, 2003. I live in south Texas with my dog Griffin. He weighs more than I do, and is half Great Pyrenees and half German Shepard. Make sure that you check out his web page before you leave. For the last two years I have been working at the Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science as a research assistant. I have many duties, including maintaining two HF (high-frequency) radar stations, and web mastering for oceanographer Bill Schmitz, famous for his model of global ocean circulation. I also create illustrations for his web book on the circulation of the Gulf of Mexico. To see the book click on the webmastering link above. I really love my job, and in the last two years have come to think of my co-workers as family. I work when I want, in my office or at home, and get to go in the field a great deal. I'm also Co-president of my university's geology club and a member of the national earth sciences honor society, Sigma Gamma Epsilon. I've earned many scholarships in the last few years, most recently from NASA. My idea of fun is swimming and playing in the ocean with my dog, roller coasters, playing pool, flying (plan to get my pilot's license), sailing, camping, swamp stomping (long story, involves a great deal of mud), and walking the streets of my favorite Mexico border town. Other hobbies/passions include rock hounding, astronomy, science, dog training, painting, computers, writing poetry, amateur photography, yoga, belly dancing, and Aikido.
Study Guide For 1st Exam - Fall 1998 rock hounding ARKANSAS, BOB'S rock SHOP, ARKANSAS DIAMONDS, geology OF ARKANSASQUARTZ, US MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FIRST EXAM! http://www.uark.edu/depts/geology/skboss/study1f98.htm
Extractions: STUDY GUIDE FOR EXAM I GENERAL GEOLOGY (GEOL 1113) The following study guide is provided as an aid to help you identify the major concepts you should have learned concerning topics covered during the first few weeks of class. Key vocabulary with which you should be familiar is highlighted in UPPER CASE GREEN throughout this document and on future documents of this type for the course. You should, at the very least, be able to define the terms given in UPPER CASE GREEN in order to complete the exam. Ideally, however, I hope you will be able to do more than simply respond to definitions. You will also find words underlined in blue - these can be clicked with the mouse and will transport you to images or various sources of additional material I think you might find interesting and helpful to your studies. I hope you will find the time to explore these links, as they are often quite fascinating and (I hope) will pique your interest in this course and Geology as a discipline. It has been my experience both as a student (remember, I was a student once, too! - and it wasn't that long ago!) and professor that the students who enjoy the course most are those who spend a little extra time getting to know it better. This is especially true of Geology - I have found that most people have a natural curiosity about Geology and geologic processes. My aim is to enhance your curiosity, provide you with information regarding the basic principles of Geology, and gain sufficient knowledge of these principles to be able to apply the definitions and the concepts they represent to a fuller understanding of the Earth as a planet and our role as residents of it!

Sedona - The Red Rock Review, Sedona AZ The Red Rock Review combined their talents, working together in a store in Moscow, Idaho, modeled onthe concept of geology to jewelry We did a lot of rock hounding back then http://www.redrockreview.com/dec01/4story.html
Extractions: by Karen Reider People of all walks of life adorn themselves with jewelry. From diamonds to costume, there is just something about wearing your favorite ring or necklace. Some have sentimental value, others match certain clothing or moods. They all make us feel good about ourselves, and thats the point ... The point that Jeff Goebel of Ramseys Rocks and Minerals made when we chatted recently. When you look as far back as the beginning of civilization, humanity has been attracted to gems. It is something innate, something I dont think will ever go away. Its not always practical, but often essential. Goebels first fascination with the art of making jewelry came when he was attending Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, some 25 years ago. Goebel was taking general art classes. One day he passed the goldsmith classroom, saw the flames from the tools being used, and was intrigued. He knew he had to be in there. He was utterly compelled. And, once he began classes, he discovered he was a natural.

Extractions: A 2400 mile Motorcycle Tour Unique Newberry Springs Flavor If you want to go exploring and understand what really took place in the town of Calico during its heyday, all you need to do is visit. Saturday in old Calico bustled with miners, shop keepers, dance hall girls and gunslingers. Silver was king here in 1881, keeping the tiny old west town alive until its price fell from $1.31 to .63 cents and ounce. In 1896 the colorful boomtown went bust. Today, Calico, a San Bernardino County Regional Park, is alive and well. Located near Barstow, the fully restored 60 acre townsite rests on a narrow ridge - its colorful past etched in the weathered porches lining Ghost Town Main Street. You can learn of the town's history aboard a narrow gauge railroad as it transports you through silver workings to the north. Watch closely for small cave-like openings in the mountain faces. These are front doors of the miners' homes. General merchandise of all types lines the walls of the town's 23 shops. Within townsite limits you can also find an 1880's sweet shop, operating saloon, full service restaurant, playhouse, leather goods store and cemetery. Another Calico attraction is the trip down into an actual mine. You can walk through man-made shafts where the air is thin, ceilings are low and evidence of labor-intensive rock chipping is everywhere.
Stones, Crystals, And Gems As a former geology major, I learned more than my head could holdabout rocks and minerals. I also have a love of rockhounding. http://mail.wyoming.com/~mystikat/stones.html
Extractions: In my opinion, these things are very important. Crystals are great ways of focusing energies. Stones help ground people and spells. They can be carried, worn, or used in spells to access their magick potential. So where to get them? Stay away from jewelers. They might have rough-cut gems and crystals, but rarely and then you have to pay through the nose. Gems and crystals don't always have to be perfectly cut and polished. Some stones, like hematite have a natural state that's very different looking than the polished state. Hematite is rust-colored and very rough naturally, but when polished is smooth and highly reflective silver. Some tools require crystals and gems to be cut and polished. Pendulums are better off being cut so they are balanced. Wands usually have a stone that is a near perfect or perfect cut to help focus energy. My wand's crystal ( Picture 1 ) is rough and not cut perfectly. The amethyst crystal was a Yule gift from a friend who said it had my name all over it. To cut it would diminish its power. If you just wish to use a crystal, gem, or stone in a spell or as a talisman, they need not be perfect. As a former geology major, I learned more than my head could hold about rocks and minerals. I also have a love of rock-hounding. I have a very large collection of different types of stones, gems, and crystals (much to my father's delight as I have many boxes stored at his house) that I've collected from all sorts of place. I even inherited some of my grandfather's rock collection, so I have some beautiful jade and tiger's eye in their natural states. Go to your local library or look online for information on the different types of rocks, minerals, etc in your area and where to find them. It's so rewarding to do a spell with a stone that I've found myself.

Arizona Outdoor Recreation -- Activities Around The State Noncommercial information about recreational opportunities and locations in Arizona.Category Regional North America Arizona Recreation and Sports Southeastern Arizona has some interesting geology as a result of igneous intrusions ofMiller Peak Wilderness area are open to rock hounding and prospecting. http://personal.riverusers.com/~das22/azrec.html
Extractions: Arizona is blessed with miles and miles of public land; Forest Service and BLM lands are open to all. State Trust lands are open to holders of valid fishing and hunting licenses. There are many backroads to explore, trails to hike, and wonders to see. While there are many famous destinations that are worth visiting, if you posess a sense of adventure, you can find some great and uncrowded locations by getting off the beaten path. Whether you hike, go horseback, bicycle, or drive a 4x4, there are many places to discover. From the Mojave Desert in the southwest, to the Colorado Plateau in the northeast, with the alpine environment of the White Mountains and Mogollon Rim in between, there is something for everyone. Bird watchers, backpackers, 4-wheelers, rock hounds, and hunters can all find that a special place in Arizona. The White Mountain Elk population has never been greater, and watching these large critters is an enjoyable experience. For Bird watchers, Coronado National Memorial, the Hassayampa River, Madera Canyon, the San Pedro River, and Ramsey Canyon Preserve, are prime destinations.

Extractions: Outdoor Recreation Metamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock, but have been substantially changed from their original igneous, sedimentary, or earlier metamorphic form. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot, mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a platy or sheet-like structure. There are several ways that non-foliated rocks can be produced. Some rocks, such as limestone are made of minerals that are not flat or elongate. No matter how much pressure you apply, the grains will not align! Another type of metamorphism, contact metamorphism, occurs when hot igneous rock intrudes into some pre-existing rock. The pre-existing rock is essentially baked by the heat, changing the mineral structure of the rock without addition of pressure.
