About Geysers- http://www2.wku.edu/www/geoweb/geyser/about2.html A geyser is a hot spring that periodically erupts throwing water into the air. Seems simple and common enough, but in fact, geysers are extremely rare. In all of the world, there are only a total of seven hundred geysers. Ask an Earth-Scientist- http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/ASK/askanerd.html Ask an Earth-Scientist is a service of the Dept. of Geology and Geophysics of the Univ. of Hawaii. They do not answer overly general questions or questions submitted by students who are attempting to skip over the normal process of studying/library research (i.e., we will not do your homework for you or provide "last-minute" information for class exams) Ask A Geologist- http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/ask-a-geologist/ Do you have a question about volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains, rocks, maps, ground water, lakes, or rivers? You can email earth science questions to:Ask-A-Geologist@usgs.gov Each message goes to a different USGS earth scientist. Please include a return address in the body of your message. You should receive a reply in a few days. Gemstones- http://www.love-story.com/bs00.htm Describes gemstones traditionally associated with each month and gives some gemstone lore and legend. Grand Canyon Geology- http://www.edu-source.com/GCpages/CVOpage1.html This site presents the geology of the Grand Canyon including its formation, views from space, its many layers, the landforms of the area, and prehistoric life. Hot Springs Enthusiast- http://www.hotspringsenthusiast.com/ Information on US Hot Springs, spring location info with links to topological maps, and related articles and links to sites of interest. Middle School Earth Science Explorer- http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/explorer.html In the Earth Science section of this site, you can find out about: diversity, adaptation, plate tectonics, geologic time, spheres & biomes, and cycles. On the Dinosaur floor, you look at the theories on what killed the dinosaurs: a giant impact, volcanoes, orbital changes, supernova, or disease. Powder River Coal Company- http://web.ccsd.k12.wy.us/mines/PR/credits.html Powder River Coal Company in Gillette, Wyoming, is the second largest coal producing company in the United States. Powder River Coal Company owns and operates four surface mines in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. Together, the four mines control 2.5 billion tons of recoverable coal. The coal seams at the four mines range from 65 feet to over 100 feet thick. The Precambrian- http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/precambrian/precambrian.html Nearly 4 thousand million years passed after the Earth\'s inception before the first animals left their traces. This stretch of time is called the Precambrian. To speak of "the Precambrian" as a single unified time period is misleading, for it makes up roughly seven-eighths of the Earth\'s history. During the Precambrian, the most important events in biological history took place. The Precambrian- http://www.dc.peachnet.edu/~pgore/geology/geo102/precamb.htm The Precambrian is not well known or completely understood. Why? Rocks are poorly exposed; Many rocks have been eroded or metamorphosed; Most are deeply buried beneath younger rocks; Fossils seldom found. Most information is from cratons - large portions of continents which have not been deformed since Precambrian or Early Paleozoic time. S.K. Worm Answers Your Questions About Soil and Stuff!- http://www.nhq.nrcs.usda.gov/CCS/squirm/skworm.html An explanation, in a question and answer format, about the basics of soil. This Dynamic Earth: The Story of Plate Tectonics- http://pubs.usgs.gov/publications/text/dynamic.html This online booklet gives a brief introduction to the concept of plate tectonics . The booklet highlights some of the people and discoveries that advanced the development of the theory and traces its progress since its proposal. Although the general idea of plate tectonics is now widely accepted, many aspects still continue to confound and challenge scientists.
