  • Three Types of Fault - Teacher Notes
    Three Types of Fault - Teacher Notes Faults are breaks in rock where one side is displaced relative to the other. Fault displacements can be on any scale from millimetres to kilometres to hundreds of kilometres. Friction along fault surfaces causes strain to build up and be released as earthquakes. Stress causing fault movement is greatest along continental plate margins. The Indo-Australian plate moves northward relative to the Eurasian plate at about 10mm per year. Earthquakes are frequent and severe. Luckily Australia lies away from the margins of its plate. 1. Normal Fault - Extension of Crust Where the crust is being stretched or extended “normal” faults occur. During ancient geological times Australia, India, Africa, New Zealand and Antarctica were welded together to form the supercontinent of Gondwanaland. About 184 million years ago the supercontinent began to break up and the present continental plates started to move apart. Continental crust between the separating plates was stretched thin and was split by a series of faults. The stretched crust then sagged to create a marine sedimentary basin bounded by fault block ranges. The diagram below is a section through the Earth. WEST EAST Crust sags downward in a normal fault. An initiative supported by Woodside and ESWA Three Types of Fault - Teacher Notes This sag can be demonstrated by stretching some warm silly putty or play dough. The Darling Scarp, which runs north to south near the coast of Western, Australia is a normal fault, which has been activated and reactivated over more than a billion years. The down-faulted western side has more than 15km of sediments laid down in it and the Indian Ocean fills the sagging central portion.

  • Regional Fiano
    REGIONAL FIANO WINE Regional Fiano VINTAGE 2018 REGION Margaret River VARIETY Fiano ANALYSIS Alcohol 13.5%, pH 3.26, TA 6.7 g/L VINTAGE & WINEMAKING NOTES The 2018 vintage was moderate, mild and a good year to grow Fiano in Margaret River. Rainfall in early January renewed canopies across the region and resulted in beautifully ripe, varietally pure wines that are brimming with perfect, delicate, natural acidity. This select parcel of Margaret River Fiano was harvested in the cool night and transported to Millbrook in the early hours of the morning. The fruit was gently pressed taking only the pure free-run juice, before racking from any solids. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain freshness, with a select yeast strain chosen to enhance the varietal expression of this Southern Italian variety. This wine underwent minimal fining and filtration prior to being bottled. TASTING NOTES Colour Brilliant pale lemon. Aroma Lifted lemon, pear and green apple skin with lovely floral, spice and honey notes. Palate A dry, crisp and clean expression of Fiano, showing pear and green apple notes with a twist of fresh lemon zest. Beautifully textural, with good length and an interesting, almost saline edge. CELLARING Enjoy now, lightly chilled. MILLBROOK.WINE | | REGIONAL RANGE The Millbrook Regional range highlights the quality and diversity of Western Australia’s wine regions. Millbrook’s winemakers have identified specific regions best suited to the varieties in the range in order to make expressive, vibrant and varietally pure wines, which perfectly match a range of cuisines. PERTH HILLS Located in the historic town of Jarrahdale in the Perth Hills wine region, Millbrook Winery is PERTH a multi-award winning, boutique vineyard, farm, Jarrahdalrrahd e orchard, restaurant and winery.

Nevertheless, much material of this type is of interest and value to other scientists, administrators or planners and should be published. The Resource Management Technical Report series is an avenue for the dissemination of preliminary or lengthy material relevant the management of natural resources.
