* Evaporite sedimentary rocks are composed of minerals formed from the evaporation of water.

Evaporite depositional environments that meet the above conditions include:

Evaporite formations need not be composed entirely of halite salt.

Evaporite deposits of a few beds of white gypsum ( calcium sulfate ) were likely formed after shallow bodies of salt water were cut off from the sea.

Evaporite () is a name for a water-soluble mineral sediment that result from concentration and crystallization by evaporation from an aqueous solution.

Evaporite minerals, especially nitrate minerals, are economically important in Peru and Chile.

Evaporite deposits of Messinian age are common throughout the Mediterranean.

Calcium occurs most commonly in sedimentary rocks in the minerals calcite, dolomite and gypsum.

Halite and sylvite commonly form as evaporites, and can be dominant minerals in chemical sedimentary rocks.

Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite rock.

This weathering removed everything but quartz grains, the most stable mineral. They are commonly affiliated with rocks that are deposited in a stable cratonic environment, such as aeolian beaches or shelf environments.

Topaz is commonly associated with silicic igneous rocks of the granite and rhyolite type.

The garnets from mantle-derived rocks, peridotites, and eclogites commonly contain a pyrope variety.

so commonly seen in igneous rocks, because their minerals, being formed at high temperatures, are not so easily transformed or recrystallized.

Macrofossils have the advantage of being easy to see in the field, but they are rarer, and microfossils are very commonly used by oil prospectors and other industries interested in mineral resources when accurate knowledge of the age of the rocks being looked at is needed.

It can be translated as a term of endearment: for as the leader of Leopold's expedition, he commonly worked with the labourers breaking rocks with which they built the first modern road along the Congo River.

Clastic rocks are also commonly found in shallow subvolcanic intrusions such as porphyry stocks, granites and kimberlite pipes, where they are transitional with volcanic breccias.

Only after Biot was able to analyze the rocks at l ’ Aigle was it commonly accepted that the fireballs seen in the sky were meteors falling through the atmosphere.

Natural arches commonly form where cliffs are subject to erosion from the sea, rivers or weathering ( subaerial processes ); the processes " find " weaknesses in rocks and work on them, making them larger until they break through.

She had her palace in the heart of a pile of rocks, five miles from Mallow, which is still commonly known by the name of Carrig-Cleena, and numerous legends about her are told among the Munster peasantry.

Flint, obsidian, quartz and many other rocks and minerals were commonly used to make points in North America.

Banded iron formations occur exclusively in Precambrian rocks, and are commonly weakly to intensely metamorphosed.

Also abrasion commonly happens in areas where there are strong winds, loose sand, and soft rocks. The blowing of millions of sharp sand grains creates a sandblasting effects. This effect helps to erode, smooth and polish rocks. The definition of abrasion is grinding and wearing away of rock surfaces through the mechanical action of other rock or sand particles.

* Paintball jerseys and pants: Originally derived from motocross and BMX attire, tournament players commonly wear special outer clothing with integrated padding that allows the player a free range of motion, and helps protect the player both from paintball hits and from incidental contact with rocks and hard ground.

Surface rocks consist mainly of a core of moderate-to high-rank crystalline metamorphic or igneous rocks, which, because of their superior resistance to weathering and erosion, commonly rise above the adjacent areas of low-grade metamorphic and sedimentary rock.

Most commonly, an escarpment is a transition from one series of sedimentary rocks to another series of a different age and composition.

Stratigraphy is also commonly used to delineate the nature and extent of hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir rocks, seals, and traps in petroleum geology.

They need a damp environment to survive, and they always hide from light, so they are commonly found in the moist earth under buried stones and rocks.

Often applied to the trace mineral zircon in igneous rocks, this method is one of the two most commonly used ( along with argon-argon dating ) for geologic dating.

Common mafic rocks include basalt, dolerite and gabbro.

Crystalline rocks with obsidian's composition include granite and rhyolite.

Forms in which he works include pietre sonore or " sound stones ": large sculptures ( mainly limestones or basalts ) that resonate when rubbed by human hands or small rocks.

These blocks form a very complex mixture or mélange of rocks that include mainly serpentinite, basalt, dolerite and chert ( e. g. Bergougnan, 1975 ).

The " intermediate " rocks include those characterized by the general absence of both quartz and olivine.

Source rocks for the partial melts probably include both peridotite and pyroxenite ( e. g., Sobolev et al., 2007 ).

Common chemical sedimentary rocks include oolitic limestone and rocks composed of evaporite minerals such as halite ( rock salt ), sylvite, barite and gypsum.

Common examples include coal, oil shale as well as source rocks for oil and natural gas.

* Phosphatic sedimentary rocks are composed of phosphate minerals and contain more than 6. 5 % phosphorus ; examples include deposits of phosphate nodules, bone beds, and phosphatic mudrocks

Other fossils from the Cretaceous rocks of the Kyzyl Kum include tree trunks, pelecypods, beetles, sharks, rays, bony fish, frogs, salamanders, turtles, crocodylomorphs, pterosaurs, and a varied fauna of small early mammals.

Scientists generally define the five components of earth's climate system to include atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere ( restricted to the surface soils, rocks, and sediments ), and biosphere.

This may include rocks plucked off the wall of the magma conduit, or physically picked up by the ensuing pyroclastic surge.

Soil types include regosol, latosol, andosol, lava rocks and andesitic and basaltic lava.

Some better known species that represent the diversity of the genus include the Common Fig which is a small temperate deciduous tree whose fingered fig leaf is well known in art and iconography ; the Weeping Fig ( F. benjamina ) a hemi-epiphyte with thin tough leaves on pendulous stalks adapted to its rain forest habitat ; the rough-leaved sandpaper figs from Australia ; the Creeping Fig ( F. pumila ), a vine whose small, hard leaves form a dense carpet of foliage over rocks or garden walls.

The consciousness is not restricted to human consciousness, but may include that of animals, rocks, everything in the world around us both seen and unseen, therefore can include gods and goddess ( akua ) and the spirits of the departed (' aumakua ) who often appear in the form of animals.

An icy moon may harbor an ocean underneath the surface, and possibly include a rocky core of silicate or metallic rocks.

Popular hiking areas of the island include the town's Conservation Area, often referred to as " The Area ", and the back shore rocks, located toward the East End.

Some of the pictures painted on the rocks include animals, human figures, and handprints.

Other minerals and rocks that are prevalent near Delta include obsidian, opal, and geodes.

Other outlying rocks include Eilean Dubh to the north-west and a series of skerries stretching for half a kilometre to the south-west.

In fact, some of the lines in the theme song are lines from this song with a few words changed to include more references to candy ( for example, " little streams of alcohol come ' a tricklin ' down the rocks " became " sody pop come tricklin ' down the rocks.
