credit: I just stumbled upon this rock called Haystack Rock located in the coast of Oregon. It is a popular icon and a tourist centre especially for movie makers. The sea-washed sand on Cannon Beach makes a mirror image of the 235-foot basalt monolith known as Haystack Rock. Further reading... It might interest you to know that at low tide, holes and crags in the stone’s base become tide pools, a primary habitat for numerous sea creatures. At the rock’s high tide level is the abode of the sea birds like bald eagle, tufted puffins, and pelagic cormorants. See Credit Here:

Types of curves in Vertical Electrical Sounding In Vertical Electrical Sounding, there are basically 4 types of curves but in real situations in the field, we usually encounter situations where these curves are merged to form a compound curve. ρ1 < ρ2 > ρ3      …...     K-type curve   (maximum type) Do you know the difference between schlumberger array and wenner?   ρ1 > ρ2 < ρ3      ……   H-type curve   (minimum type) ρ1 > ρ2 > ρ3      ……   Q-type curve (descending type) ρ1 < ρ2 < ρ3      ……   A-type curve   (ascending type) Some compound curves: ρ1 < ρ2 > ρ3< ρ4      ------ KH type ρ1 > ρ2 < ρ3> ρ4   ----- HK type

COMPARISON   BETWEEN SCHLUMBERGER ARRAY OVER WENNER ARRAY Find below the pros and cons of Schlumberger Array over Wenner Array and vice versa Are you a young geologist? Click HERE NOW!!! Advantages of using Schlumberger Array over Wenner                 It requires less manpower and time than Wenner soundings.                 It is less sensitive to lateral variations in resistivity. The potential electrodes are moved only occasionally; In a Wenner sounding the potential and the current electrodes are always moved after each measurement. It is faster in field operation. Types of VES Curves Requires less physical movement of electrodes than the normal Wenner array because only the current electrodes must be moved between readings. The effects of near surface, lateral inhomoge...

Have you heard of Vasquez Rock? Credit: The above picture will be alien except to those within the vicinity of Aqua Dulce, California or perhaps, those that have visited here at one time or the other. Just watch the arcs and the angles formed by this deposit!! In case you do not know, the image you are seeing is Vasquez Rocks. Am fascinated about the arcs and the acute angles formed by this deposit.. Your groundwater may be polluted!!! Nature is indeed wonderful!!!! For emphasis sake, this is in Aqua Dulce, California, north of Los Angeles. Research has it that the ‘arcs’ formed (i.e. tilting was as a result of the North American Plate collision with the Pacific Plate) along the San Andreas fault. We can see that the collision resulted in the uplift.
