Tunnels, Deeper, Freefall, and Closer by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams
READING GROUP GUIDE Tunnels, Deeper, Freefall, and closer by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams Enter the terrifying world of Tunnels—a subterranean society under the streets of modern London, whose citizens are enslaved by a strange, cruel sect, the Styx, who plan to exterminate all Topsoilers. Can fourteen-year-old Will defeat the Styx, and rescue his missing father? Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams first met at college in London and have remained friends ever since. Gordon, a former investment banker, now lives with his wife and children in Norfolk, England; Williams, an installation artist, inhabits the city’s Hackney neighborhood, accompanied everywhere by his invisible dog. About their writing process, Gordon says: “When I lived in London, my house was only a ten-minute bike ride from where Brian lived, so he’d cycle round and we would work on Tunnels at my kitchen table. When I moved with my family to the country, we discussed Deeper over many late-night phone calls, and swapped sections by email. When I visit London we go to a couple of favorite cafés. They’ve gotten used to us and know that we can make a cup of coffee last several hours!” Tunnels A New York Times Bestseller About the book He’s a loner at school, his sister’s beyond bossy, and his mother watches TV all day long, but at least Will Burrows shares one hobby with his otherwise weird father: They’re both obsessed with archeological sites. When the two discover an abandoned tunnel buried below modern London, they think they’re on the brink of a major find. -

Higher Geography
LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES MARINE EROSION PROCESSES. Read the course booklet. You will need to know and be able to explain the four methods of coastal erosion and two of weathering The next few slides illustrate these processes. 1 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES Hydraulic Action The force of waves hitting a cliff (or sea wall) compresses water and air into cracks and joints. This increase in pressure may lead to cracks widening and pieces of rock breaking off. 2 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES Abrasion Rock fragments may be picked up by waves and thrown against the rock face of cliffs by subsequent waves. Sometimes the softer strata are abraded more than the harder ones, giving a striped appearance. Abrasion is most effective at the base of cliffs. 3 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES Wave attrition Rock fragments are worn down into smaller and more rounded pieces. Currents and tidal movements cause the fragments to be swirled around and to grind against each other. This type of erosion produces pebble beaches. 4 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES Water- layer weathering Alternative wetting and drying -as happens with the rise and fall of the tides -can disintegrate porous or coarser rock layers. Salt crystals growing in rock spaces can do the same thing. 5 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES Corrosion (solution) Salts and acids in sea water can react with rocks , slowly dissolving them away. 6 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES Rates of erosion depend on many factors: Waves – strength, frequency, height Weather – frequency of storm conditions Geology of the coastline : -type of rock -orientation of stratification (the way the bedding planes in the rock face the sea) 7 LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES The FETCH is the distance travelled by waves from one shore to another. -

MCA 4: Poole and Christchurch Bays Overall cShnaarpaschteort Key Characteristics Description Visual Resource Mapping Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area (MCA) covers the coastline from Peveril Point in the west to the eastern fringes of Milford on Sea in the east, covering the whole of Poole and Christchurch Bays. Its seaward boundary with The Solent (MCA 5) is formed by the change in sea and tidal conditions upon entry into the Needles Channel. In the west, the coastal/seaward boundary with MCA 3 follows the outer edge of the Purbeck Heritage Coast. The Character Area extends to a maximum distance of approximately 40 kilometres (22 nautical miles) offshore, ending at the northern extent of the Wight-Barfleur Reef candidate offshore SAC (within MCA 14). Please note that the MCA boundaries represent broad zones of transition (not immediate breaks in character). Natural, visual, cultural and socio- economic relationships between adjacent MCAs play a key role in shaping overall character. Therefore individual MCAs should not be considered in isolation. Overall character This MCA is dominated in the west by the busy port of Poole Harbour, which is a hive of marine-based activity as well as an internationally important wildlife refuge. The more tranquil Christchurch Harbour sits beyond the protruding Hengistbury Head, which separates the two bays. -

FLAT 1, THE PINNACLES, 2 THE PARADE, SWANAGE £385,000 LEASEHOLD This spacious maisonette comprises the entire ground floor and lower ground floor of a substantial terraced building located in a private position on The Parade, directly overlooking Swanage Bay and about 200 metres from the main shopping thoroughfare. The accommodation is tastefully decorated with a neutral decor maximising the light and overall spatial feeling. On the foreshore, it offers character coastal living with carved ornate fireplace, high ceilings with embellished cornicing and wood flooring to the ground floor. The property is thought to have been constructed around the turn of the 20th Century and has frontal elevations of part Purbeck stone, the remainder being brick, under an imitation slate roof. The seaside town of Swanage lies at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a safe, sandy beach, and is an attractive mixture of old stone cottages and more modern properties, all of which blend in well with the peaceful surroundings.

The Distribution of the Foraminiferida in the Albian and Cenomanian of S.W. England. by M.B. Hart, B.So., F.C.S. Thesis Submitt
The Distribution of the Foraminiferida in the Albian and Cenomanian of S.W. England. by M.B. Hart, B.So., F.C.S. VOL Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London. February 1970. 2 Abstract An attempt has been made at resolving some of the difficulties of British mid—Cretaceous stratigraphic correlation using Foraminiferida. Over six hundred samples have been collected from all the major Albian and Cenomanian sections in south and south west England and these have been processed for their foraminiferal content. Over two hundred species and varieties from eighty six genera have been documented, many for the first time. These fossils have been used in the ratification of a zonal scheme and as a testing ground for a correlation technique based on the varying proportions of planktonic and benthonic individuals in each sample. The results of these investigations have demonstrated the value of Foraminiferida in the solution of stratigraphic problems, and as a result of this a new correlation scheme for the Albian and Cenomanian of southern England has been tentatively suggested. The Albian/Cenomanian and Cenomanian/Turonian boundaries have also been determined in the British lithological successions and characteristic faunas for each stage outlined. The main feature of stratigraphic interest has been the determination of a period of mid,-Cenomanian folding and its resulting affect on the stratigraphy. 3 Table of Contents page Abstract 2 Table of Contents 3 Index of Figures 4 Index of Text Plates 5 Index of Plates 6 Index of Enclosures 7 Acknowledgements 8 Chapter 1.
