  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌋🔥 Lava can reach 1,200° C – that's more than four times hotter than the max temperature of a standard kitchen oven.

    Since #lava is as heavy and dense as the #rocks it's composed of, its flow is almost unstoppable. Volcanologist Arianna Soldati shares some of the #solutions attempted in #Hawaii, #Iceland, and #Italy to redirect the slow-moving flows.

  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐑🏔️ Bighorn #sheep are agile climbers that move up steep rocky slopes with ease.

    Their hooves have a hard outside rim for digging into the ground and a soft spongy inside that acts like the bottom of a tennis shoe. These split hooves pinch and hold #rocks like clothespins while they move across cliffs in Eastern #Washington.

  5. Du nouveau chez Minetosh online (minetoshsoft.com):

    La quatrième partie d'« AmphiCalc-1 » pour le calcul et la classification des amphiboles est désormais en ligne : « Amp15KC » pour le calcul des compositions d'amphiboles sur la base de 15 cations sans potassium et calcium aussi en position C. Ce calcul est particulièrement adapté aux amphiboles sodiques.

    AmphiCalc-1 calcule automatiquement à partir d'analyses par microsonde les oxydes, les cations, la composition chimique, la répartition Fe²⁺ et Fe³⁺, ainsi que d'autres paramètres des amphiboles. Les résultats peuvent être téléchargés sous forme de fichier csv. Les diagrammes suivants pour la classification des amphiboles sont créés automatiquement et peuvent être téléchargés sous forme de fichiers svg : diagramme de Leake, diagramme ACF, diagramme AFM.

  6. News from Minetosh online (minetoshsoft.com):

    The fourth part of “AmphiCalc-1” for calculating and classifying amphiboles is now online: “Amp15KC” for calculating amphibole compositions based on 15 cations without potassium; calcium also on position C. This calculation is particularly suitable for sodium amphiboles.

    AmphiCalc-1 automatically calculates the oxides, cations, formula occupancy, Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ distribution, and other parameters of amphiboles from microprobe analyses. The results can be downloaded as a csv file. The following diagrams for classifying amphiboles are generated automatically and can be downloaded as svg files: Leake diagram, ACF diagram, AFM diagram.

  7. Neues von Minetosh online (minetoshsoft.com):

    Der vierte Teil von "AmphiCalc-1" zur Berechnung und Klassifizierung von Amphibolen ist nun online: "Amp15KC" zur Berechnung von Amphibol-Zusammensetzungen auf der Grundlage von 15 Kationen ohne Kalium; mit Calcium auch auf Position C. Diese Berechnung ist besonders für Na-Amphibole geeignet.

    AmphiCalc-1 berechnet aus Mikrosondenanalysen automatisch die Oxide, die Kationen, die Formelbesetzung, die Fe²⁺- und Fe³⁺-Verteilung, sowie weitere Parameter von Amphibolen. Die Ergebnisse lassen sich als csv-Datei herunterladen. Folgende Diagramme zur Klassifizierung der Amphibole werden automatisch erstellt und können als svg-Dateien heruntergeladen werden: Leake-Diagramm, ACF-Diagramm, AFM-Diagramm.

  8. Rocks

    May 3, 1976 ~ The Toxic Twins are back in the saddle with the album Rolling Stone put at #366 on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." This one is often called out as a major influence on many rockers that followed including Guns N' Roses and Metallica.

  9. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🪨🔍 Every rock you find contains clues about the long #history of the planet.

    Maynerd Okereke explains how to identify the three main types of #rocks by looking for patterns like #crystals or layers. The guide helps you distinguish between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic samples by checking for textures like tiny holes or wavy lines.

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🏜️🌊 #AntelopeCanyon is described by #Navajo Medicine Man Adair Klopfenstein as the breathing holes of the #earth where the winds reside.

    These slot #canyons form over tens of thousands of years as turbulent #water and #sand carve through the #landscape. #Geology professor Dr. Kelin Whipple explains how flash floods transport boulders and create vortices that cut deep into the earth.

    “For sandwiches and cakes, crumbling asphalt parking lots are good. When I lived in Sunset Park, they demolished a building a couple blocks from my apartment, and there was a hole in the fence, so I’d go in there and find tons of cool shapes and textures of rubble.”
