Structural Geology- Introduction Introduction Structural geology is the study of deformed rocks, and rock deformation. In structural geology, we are faced with a series of natural features that we try to interpret and explain. Each of these features formed through the interplay of external forces on rock materials, and the \local \conditions at the time of deformation. To interpret structures in the natural setting we need to
Atomic Structure All natural and most synthetic substances on earth are made from the ninety naturally occurring chemical elements. An atom is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided while still retaining the chemical characteristics of that element (fig 3. 1). The nucleus, at the center of the atom contains one or more particles with a positive electrical charge(protons fif and usually some particles of similar mass that have no charge(neutrons
1、早期的太阳系 The Early Solar System Billions of years ago, out of a swirling mass of gas and dust, evolved a system of varied planets hurtling around a nuclear-powered star-our solar system. One of these planets, and one only, give rise to complex life forms. Over time
