Contact (geology)
A geological contact is a boundary which separates one rock body from another. A contact can be formed during Deposition (geology), deposition, by the Intrusion (geology), intrusion of magma, or through Fault (geology), faulting or other deformation of rock beds that brings distinct rock bodies into contact. The geologic subdiscipline of stratigraphy is primarily concerned with depositional contacts,Boggs 2006, p. 401 while faults and shear zones are of particular interest in structural geology. Faults and shear zones can be regarded as a form of secondary structure in the rock beds.Davis and Kluth 2011, p.21 Types of contacts Depositional Conformable Conformable contacts represent no time gap in the geologic record. They are usually planar, though they may have slightly irregular topography.

Botticelli (game)
Botticelli is a guessing game where one person or team thinks of a famous person and reveals the initial letter of their name, and then answers yes–no questions to allow other players to guess the identity. It requires the players to have a good knowledge of biographical details of famous people. The game takes its name from the principle that the famous person must be at least as famous as Sandro Botticelli. How to play One player (the chooser) is selected to think of a famous person (the identity). This person should be someone the chooser is comfortable answering biographical questions about, and someone the chooser is very confident that the other players will all have heard of; obscure identities make for frustrating game play, especially with young players. The rule of thumb is that the person should be at least as famous or well known as Sandro Botticelli, hence the name of the game. Fictional characters are acceptable, but can present certain difficulties. In some c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
