This discussion is similar to any paragraph that you might select at random from an introductory geology textbook. When you are reading about science, you might find yourself focusing on facts that have been discovered. It is important to learn these facts to understand what scientists know about how the world works, but to really appreciate science you must also appreciate that science is the process by which people discover these facts. The questions below will help guide you thinking about the science that you read in terms of the scientific process. Discussion: (1)Geologists tell us that the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is related to the amount of a material called silica that is in the magma (liquid rock) of a volcano. Silica is made of the elements silicon and oxygen and is the same material found in a mineral called quartz. (2)This conclusion is based on looking at the most explosive volcanic eruptions and finding that they produce quartz rich volcanic rocks. (3)Also, scientists have found, through lab and field studies, that magma with a higher silica content is “thicker “ (more viscous) than magma with a lower silica content. This is similar to how honey is “thicker” than water. (4)Geologists have used this information to come up with the idea that higher silica content makes lava thicker, and thicker magma can hold gas under higher pressure. (5)When high pressure gas comes to the surface it erupts more explosively than gas trapped in a “thinner” (less viscous) liquid. The same process occurs when oatmeal boils. When the bubbles in oatmeal “pop”, they explode and create a bigger mess than a pan of boiling water. 1. Assign each numbered sentence to one of the following categories Observations/Data: Things that have been directly observed or measured by the researchers. They must be repeatable, meaning the observation can be made either multiple times or was observed by multiple groups of people. Interpretations: The simplest explanation that fits all of the data and observations. An interpretation is always subject to change based on new observations. 2. State the overall hypothesis of the discussion above. 1 3. Write a brief description of a lab experiment that would test this hypothesis. 4. Write a brief description of a field study that would test this hypothesis. 5. Choose one of your studies above and make a testable prediction about the outcome of the study. Example of a Testable Prediction: Hypothesis: The hill between the College of the Redwoods parking lot and the central part of the main campus was formed by the movement of a fault. Prediction: A trench dug across the uphill edge of the College of the Redwoods main parking lot would reveal soil and sediment layers that have been offset vertically. 2 Name:_______________________________________________________ Date:______ GEOL1 Physical Geology Laboratory Manual College of the Redwoods Lesson Two: Plate Tectonics Worksheet 2.1: Earth Layers 1.

    Hercynia N. F. 45 (2012): 145 –157 145 Chilopoden und Diplopoden (Myriapoda) des Bodetals. Beiträge zur Myriapodenfauna des Harzes. II. Karin Voigtländer und E. Norman Lindner 1 Abbildung und 6 Tabellen Abstract Voigtländer, K., Lindner, E. N.: Chilopods and diplopods of the Bode Gorge. Contributions to the myriapod fauna of the Harz Mountains. - Hercynia N. F. 45 (2012): 145 – 157. The millipede and centipede fauna of the Bode Gorge within Harz Mountains (Saxony-Anhalt) between Treseburg and Wendefurth including its plateau and upper shelf as well as the Luppbode Valley near All- rode was investigated using pitfall traps from 1997 to 2000. The catches were complemented by recent hand sampling. Altogether 15 chilopod and 22 diplopod species could be recorded. This is nearly the half of the known species inventory of Saxony-Anhalt. The occurrence of some rare species is discussed. The boulder scree slopes and the alder riparian forests are especially valuable and worthy of protection. Key words: Diplopoda, Chilopoda, pitfall trapping, rare species, red list, Saxony-Anhalt 1 Einführung Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen zur Diplopoden- und Chilopodenfauna des Bodetals stellen einen weiteren Beitrag zur Erforschung des Harzes dar, der bis in die jüngere Zeit kaum myriapodologisch untersucht worden ist. Schubart (1934) nennt lediglich sechs Fundorte für einige Diplopoden-Arten, darunter auch das Bodetal bei Thale. Mühlmann (1942) und von Broen et al. (1969) widmeten sich der Höhlenfauna. Eine Intensivierung erfuhren die Arbeiten erst im Zusammenhang mit dem vom Landesamt für Umweltschutz in den 1990er Jahren begonnenen und bis heute fortgeführten Programm zu gefähr- deten Biotoptypen des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt (Voigtländer 2003a, b) sowie durch die von der Na- tionalparkverwaltung Hochharz initiierten Untersuchungen zur Arthropodenfauna des Brockengebietes (Voigtländer 1999).

    Landmark 9 Rosstrappe ® On the 17th of November, 2015, during the 38th UNESCO General Assembly, the 195 member states of the United Nations resolved to introduce a new title. As a result, Geoparks can be distinguished as UNESCO Global Geoparks. Among the fi rst 120 UNESCO Global Geoparks, spread throughout 33 countries around the world, is Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen. UNESCO-Geoparks are clearly defi ned, unique areas, in which locations and landscapes of international geological importance are found. They are operated by organisations which, with the involvement of the local population, campaign for the protection of geological heritage, for environmental education and for sustainable regional development. 22 Königslutter 28 ® 1 cm = 16,15 miles 20 Oschersleben 27 18 14 Goslar Halberstadt 3 2 8 1 QuedlinburgQuQuededdlilinbinbbu 4 OsterodeOsterode a.H. 9 11 5 131 15 16 6 10 17 19 7 Sangerhausen NordhausenNordhausen 12 21 As early as 2004, 25 Geoparks in Europe and China had founded the Global Geoparks Network (GGN). In autumn of that year Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen became part of the network. In addition, there are various regional networks, among them the European Geoparks Network (EGN). These coordinate international cooperation. In the above overview map you can see the locations of all UNESCO Global Geoparks in Europe, including UNESCO Global Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen and the borders of its parts. Legendary 1 The “Rosstrappe” near Thale There are many ways to reach the “Rosstrappe” mountain hotel: a chair lift ride starting from the entrance of the Bode Valley where there is sufficient free parking space, a foot walk via the “Präsidentenweg” and “Eselssteig” or directly by car to the hotel (limited parking space).
