Mineralogy
& The Peabody Museum Collection : A 5 page overview of mineralogy, the
branch of science dealing with minerals in the Earth's crust and also those found outside
the Earth (such as in lunar samples and meteorites). The writer focuses specifically upon
a very important (and well-known) collection stored in the Peabody Museum at Yale
University. That particular collection's history is discussed in light of mineralogy
itself. Bibliography is missing. Mineralg.wps
High Pressure Silica Minerals: Coesite and Stishovite :
A 5 page paper discussing these rare forms of silica. Generally only found in areas where
quartz rocks have been subjected to extremely high pressure such as in Arizona’s
Meteor Crater, stishovite was first discovered in sandstone that had been converted to
glass as a result of the impact of the meteor. While both are silica, coesite’s
structure is that of tetrahedrons; stishovite is constructed of octahedrons with oxygen.
Stishovite is the densest known form of silica and also the hardest known oxide; both
begin to degrade in the absence of high pressure. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Coestis.wps

The Study Of Geological History Prior To The 1900's :
7 pages in length. Theories and concepts in geological history prior to the twentieth
century are both significant and far-reaching. So instrumental are they in gauging the
earth's ongoing changes that a specialized scientific field was developed solely for its
continued study. The writer discusses the study of geological history as it existed prior
to the twentieth century. Bibliography lists 5 sources. GeoHist.wps
Earthquakes / A Comprehensive Discussion : A 9 page
paper on earthquakes in which the writer explains their different classifications, the
role of various seismic wave patterns & types, etc; Also discussed are causes, reasons
for geographical distribution, and the effects of earthquakes at different proximities

experimental and theoretical grounds for predicting earthquakes. Bibliography lists 3
sources. Quakes.wps
Earthquakes & The New Madrid Fault : An 8 page
research paper that examines the most dangerous geological feature of the North American
heartland. While most Americans think of California whenever the topic of earthquakes
comes up, the residents of New Madrid, Missouri suffered through the worst series of
quakes in the known history of North America during an eight-week period in the winter of
1811 to 1812. The three principal shocks have been determined to have had a magnitude of
8.0 or higher. Additionally, ten of the aftershocks reached or exceeded a magnitude of
6.0, and at least three may have reached 7.0. Scientists now believe that eyewitness
stories of the Mississippi flowing backward, and waterfalls on the Mississippi are true.
The writer discusses what is now known about what happened during this dramatic eight-week
period. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Madridf.wps
The Whittier Earthquake Of 1987 : In this 7
page essay, the writer uses the Whittier Narrows Quake to show how frighteningly
unpredictable and random California's earthquakes have become. The writer discusses the
occurrence of that particular quake, its socioeconomic devastation, and most importantly--
describes what "lessons" we should have learned from this random example of
geologic terror. Comparisons are also made between the Whittier quake and the Loma Prieta
quake of 1989. Bibliography lists 9 sources. Whittier.wps

Organometallic Compounds : A 5 page overview of the
history of and uses for this broad range of highly reactive compounds so often used as
catalysts for many of the processes involved in products ranging in function from
containing milk to operating supercomputers. The paper discusses carbonyl cations and
anions, hydroformylation and polyalkene polymerization. The entire area of organometallic
compounds has been important for decades, but it has been only recently that new
discoveries and realization of new uses for old processes has led to increasing benefits
so numerous they appear to be limited only by our ability to find them. Bibliography lists
6 sources. OrganoM.wps
Versatile Limestone : A 5 page paper discussing the
origins and chemical composition of this sedimentary rock used in so many diverse
applications even today. For the soil as well as the sulfur-emitting furnace, limestone is
applied as small particles no larger than good-sized dust particles, often the result of
quarrying activities. Calcium, the primary component of limestone, is our "miracle
mineral" adding stability to buildings, enhancing soil fertility and strengthening
our own human infrastructure. And it still can be as beautiful as the finely-veined marble
with which Michelangelo sculpted. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Limeston.wps
Centrifugal And Coriolis Forces : A 5 page overview
of the two forces and their interaction. Centrifugal force is that fictitious force that
imparts a general feeling of weightlessness for astronauts and is also the force by which
washing machines extract excess water from wet clothes. The Coriolis effect holds that an
object which moves in a straight line above the surface of the Earth (and not parallel to
the equator) will appear to curve because the Earth is turning under it. Together, both
are important for space travel. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Coriolis.wps
