- 151: The Forever Moving Land
- ... Plate tectonics studies these restless effects to give us a better understanding of the Earth and its past. New molten rocks are poured out in the form of magma from the mid-ocean ridges. The rock is recycled and re-entered back into the earth in deep ocean trenches through convection current. The convection current in the mantle drives plates around either against or away from each other. These collisions give ... occurring every day of different intensity and magnitude, from 500,000 per year at a Richter scale of 1, to one every few years at a Richter scale of about 8. Faults are produced when rock strata are stressed beyond their limits, forming cracks in the crust. These cracks are fault zones where crustal movement is taking place. There are three types of faults shown in Figure 4: normal, reverse, and ... are thicker and they are less dense."4 As new crust is formed from upwelling magma, the ocean floor spreads away from the source. Because molten magma contains metallic substances such as iron, the cooled rock will possess a magnetic field parallel to the direction of the Earth's field. The magnetic imprint occurs when certain substances cool after intense heating within a magnetic field. The rock cools to the ...
- 152: Appalachian
- ... to several collisions between the African, Eurasian and North American Plates. Africa and North America were joined into one super continent. The collision of these land masses over 1 billion years ago metamorphosed the original rock producing the Pedler gneiss and Old Rag granite which can be observed in the Shenandoah National Park. In late Precambrian time this super continent began to rift apart under the tensional forces producing the Catoctin ... of of western Europe. The Appalachians width of 400 miles covers what are described as three principal provinces, seperated by major thrust faults. Each province developed at different at a different time and has certain rock formations that are apparently distinct. They were all affected by the same series of mountain building episodes. West to East, the Valley and Ridge province consists of a thick sequence of relatively unmetemorphosed Paleozoic sediments ... Precambrian and Cambrian rocks of the Blue Ridge province were thrust over younger sedimentary rocks of the continental margin. Movement along these faults is believed to be as large as 150 miles westward. Few good rock outcrops exist in the park due to abundant vegetation and severe weathering due to the humid environment. The precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks are the dominant rock types exposed in the park. These are ...
- 153: Jimi Hendrix
- Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix, the greatest guitarist in rock history, revolutionized the sound of rock. In 1967, the Jimi Hendrix Experience rocked the nation with their first album, Are You Experienced?. Hendrix's life was cut short by the tragedy of drugs in 1970, when he was only twenty seven years old. In these three years the sound of rock changed greatly, and Hendrix's guitar playing was a major influence. Jimi was born in Seattle, Washington on November 27, 1942. As a young boy, whenever the chance came, Jimi would try to play ...
- 154: The Battle For Your Mind: Persuasion & Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public
- ... Birth of Conversion/Brainwashing in Christian Revivalism in 1735. The Pavlovian explanation of the three brain phases. Born-again preachers: Step-by-Step, how they conduct a revival and the expected physiological results. The "voice roll" technique used by preachers, lawyers and hypnotists.

He usually speaks with a pretty good "voice roll." Voice Roll Technique A "voice roll" is a patterned, paced style used by hypnotists when inducing a trance. It is also used by many lawyers, several of whom are highly trained hypnotists, when they desire to ...
- 155: A Geological Journey
- ... concluded that there must have been hydrothermite activity here causing the precipitated quartz veins. Since we were falling behind schedule, we decided to skip the seventh site (Wollastonite Quarry), and we headed straight to Enchanted Rock. We took the back roads, and it took us about an hour and a half to arrive at Enchanted Rock. We arrived at 5:00 p.m. and some of us climbed the rock. The climb was a little bit dangerous because the rock was wet from the rain earlier that day. The steep part was a challenge to climb, but we pulled it off and made it ...
- 156: Plate Tectonics
- ... studies show that the mid-oceanic ridges experience an elevated number of earthquakes. All these observations indicate intense geological activity at the mid-oceanic ridges. Geomagnetic Anomalies Peridically, the Earth's magnetic field reverses. New rock formed from magma records the orientation of Earth's magnetic field at the time the magma cools. Study of the sea floor with magnometers revealed "stripes" of alternating magnetization parallel to the mid-oceanic ridges. This is evidence for continuous formation of new rock at the ridges. As more rock forms, older rock is pushed farther away from the ridge, producing symmetrical stripes to either side of the ridge. In the diagram to the right, the dark stripes represent ocean floor generated during "reversed" ...
- 157: Saturday Climbing: Resolving Conflicts
- ... learn to acknowledge and accept a fact that's imminent in his life, and to let go. of other when the time is right. The stubborn father in the short story, Barry, has discovered, through rock-climbing, his predicament of getting along with his teenage dauther, Moira, his awareness of Moira's leaving in the future, and his inability to retain his relationship with Moira as before. As a result, Barry finally relizes that he has to resolve their conflicts by letting them go. At the beginning of the rock-climbing, Barry was confident of handling every single obstruction.

- 158: Austrailian Aborigines
- ... and desert. The interior is comprised of desert, shurbland, and grassland. The Northern Territory, the location of most aboriginal clans and tribes, has woodland along the coast and grasslands and shrublands in the interior. Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory is a very spiritual symbol for the Aborigines. (See Picture) The most important possession of the Aborigines is the land they live on. They have a special connection with everything that is natural. Aborigines see themselves as part of nature (Internet, Culture and Art). They see Ayers rock as a spiritual site because the rock rises from the land with nothing else in site. The Ayers rock was recently given back to the Aborigines, October 1985, but the Australian government has control over the tourism that takes place there. ...

It turned out to be monster-free, and an ideal ... fun they would have and that they wouldn't have much work to do.
