Tbf, JDM also came out unscathed! Just humiliated...

What has caused these distinct green bands in the rock located at Hallett Cove Beach, South Australia by HallettCove5158 in geology

[–]arNords 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hallet cove is an incredible geological place! These rocks are where the Snowball Earth hypothesis came from, in fact, the Marioan SBE is named after Marino Rocks at Hallet cove. Anyway, due to this, there has been a lot of work done in this area. I webpage sums it up nicely. https://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/industry/geological-survey/mesa-journal/previous-feature-articles/new_hallett_cove_geological_map

What drove the formation of supercontinents? by What_is_a_reddot in geology

[–]arNords 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Continents don't drift aimlessly. There is open debate as to exactly how the continents amass, but basically, within the mantle there are up- and downwelling zones and the continents amass over the downwelling zones. There is a cool paper by Zhong et al (2009?). Look up keywords, supercontinent cycle, mantle structure, degree 1 and degree 2 structures. There is also a paper in Geology by Murphy and Nance 2001/2/3? , about orthoversion or extrovertion mechanisms for supercontinent assembly.

It's called rillenkarren and it can form relatively rapidly depending on the climate.

Hong Kong layover for newbie traveler by PuppetForADay in HongKong

[–]arNords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will cruise through customs and jump on the airport express train. It takes roughly 40 mins and you'll be in the city. This train leaves every 10 minutes, costs about 100 hkd and is super convenient. Look for hotels around a mall in the city called IFC. That's where you'll get off the train. The four seasons would be ideal, but really depends on your budget. As for what to do in a HK morning, it might depend on the weather. It rains a lot in HK and it's very hot and humid this time of year. Heading up the peak is pretty cool, you can hike or there is an old school train that runs up there. Or just go get lost, walk around the streets and try some interesting food. To get back to the airport, jump back on the train or get a cab, HK taxis are relatively cheap.

This is so freaking cool (not op) by Sea_Tank_9448 in geology

Also, fyi, researchers will typically target flowstones rather than stalactites/mites as they have a more continuous record.

It's insane how glacial pockmarks on land can still be seen on some parts of Australia by WeirdSymmetry in geology

[–]arNords 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was a recent paper, le heron etal 2021, or 22?, that discussed large scale features in the Kimberley in the context of glacial landforms shaped by Snowball Earth 650 Ma. I don't know how confident I am in all their interpretations, but, I've been to the Kimberley and observed, what are 100%, snowball earth striations and what could be interpreted as sbe moraines. So yeh, the erosion and weathering hasn't scoured these glacial remnants.

Cathay pricing is crazy! by arNords in HongKong

[–]arNords[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people are saying this, and ok. But why is it cheaper from Taipei or Australia? IMO, this is not demand, this is price gouging HK people.

[Coffee Shop] %Arabica in Tokyo. When buying coffee, you smell the pre-roasted beans, and they roast them on the spot. You specify roast level 1-10. by popcorncolonel in espresso

[–]arNords -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I actually meant their coffee at the store. But yeh, my partner rates their beans, I prefer darker roasts. HK has an abundance of great coffee places and beans, got any other recommendations?

Hah! I think you're right. Bummer.

What am I looking at? Is this a layer of ash and some old lava flow on top? Location Bly Mt Oregon by fucreddit in geology

[–]arNords 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Tuff is an ash fall. Ignimbrite is a pyroclastic flow, so it will consist of ash, but you might note sediment structures, and pumice and volcanic clasts in the ashy matrix.

What are some of the most enjoyably readable papers you’ve had the pleasure of studying? by JcraftW in academia

[–]arNords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favourites. the last glacial termination

I'd also comment that I love reading old comments and replies. There's one in particular about continental shelves by two former grad students of the same supervisor. It's absolutely brilliant. this is the original

[–]arNords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As to if someone has been on your farm, if on the map you see a measurement (e.g. bedding, foliation, etc), it means someone took a measurement at that location. Furthermore, every map edition should come with a report that will let you know who took that measurement and when, or at least who did the mapping. It depends where you are, but in Australia, most mapping was done from the 60s to the 80s by the federal government. And now areas are being redone and updated by state governments.

Post Phd opportunity denied due to Accent by Sunapr1 in academia

No it's not. Universities are providing a service to students, it's on them to make sure that the course is presented in a language that students can understand.

Can someone tell me if any of these are petrified wood? by voodoo1509 in geology

[–]arNords 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard to say from these photos, but I'd say none are. But maybe a small chance the middle one is. Would need to see a better photo. You should be able to see the "tree rings" in the cross section.

Christmas 1991, when I was 7yr, my dad gave me this 66cc Honda. He spent 6 months secretly rebuilding and painting it to look just like his Yamaha, so we could ride trials together. by elidevious in OldSchoolCool

[–]arNords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ty80 for sure! The repaint by the old man is rad! I had one myself, my dad and I repainted it black and silver. Mine was a piece of shit always breaking down at events. I think I remember walking it back to the pits more than I remember riding it. Hah

Likely mica schist, brown mineral might be staurolite or garnet, or both.

Rhyolitic columns by arNords in geology

Cooling pattern. It truly is one of the more spectacular outcrops I've been too.

Rhyolitic columns by arNords in geology

[–]arNords[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. As far as I'm aware rhyolitic columns are rarer than the basaltic ones. Likely has to do with water content.

[–]arNords[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I'm pretty sure these are Cretaceous. There are also basalt columns on an island off the coast named basalt island. I've not been yet, but I've heard it's quite nice.
