  • Collection of 24 Rocks 1018443 (U72015)
    Collection of 24 rocks 1018443 (U72015) These rocks are organised into three groups depending on how they were formed: Igneous rocks arise due to solidification of magma inside (plutonic/intrusive) or upon (volcanic/extrusive) the earth’s crust. Sedimentary rocks: Such minerals are exposed to exogenetic forces on the surface of the earth, where they are comminuted, transported and deposited and can also be recompacted. Metamorphic rocks arise due to metamorphosis of igneous or sedimentary rocks under high pressure and temperature. Rock cycle Magma rising from inside the earth cools, either while still inside the crust or after it has erupted to the surface. This results in the creation of igneous rocks. These rocks are exposed to exogenetic forces on the surface of the earth (erosion, weathering), they may be transported from place to place and can later be recompacted (sedimentary rocks) or can be subjected to high pressure and temperature and thereby transformed into metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be subjected to exogenetic forces or can be subducted into the earth as a result of tectonic movements where they too can be fused or converted by pressure and temperature into metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks can also be subjected to exogenetic forces or can be subducted into the earth as a result of tectonic movements and fused there.

Title page: Georg Steinbach on a postcard sent from Istanbul to his parents for Christmas 1918. Editor’s Preface We passed by the Princes’ Islands and arrived in Istanbul in the late afternoon. It was an emotio- nal moment when we went ashore, and I stood almost exactly where I had stood earlier as a young soldier. That was 45 years ago! This quote comes from a letter that Georg Steinbach wrote on May 11, 1963 to his friend and former employer Karl (Levi) Lennart. In it, he tells of a Mediterranean cruise he took with his wife on the occasion of his 50th anniversary at the Moses Levi clothing retailer, which brought him to Istanbul for the second and last time.
