As much as anywhere on Earth, the Keweenaw reflects its Geology....
We want to complement and extend other geointerpretation efforts, such as Mineralogical Society: Virtual Keweenaw Field Trip . Try to visit many sites, because they reinforce each other and build geounderstanding. Send suggestions for things that need to be added, changed or deleted. email: raman@mtu.edu. Great other example: Barberton Geotrail.
Crossbedding--reading the rock - Michigan Technological University
Cross bedding forms on a sloping surface such as ripple marks and dunes, and allows us to interpret that the depositional environment was water or wind. Examples of these are ripples, dunes, sand waves, hummocks, bars, and deltas. Cross-bedding is widespread in three common sedimentary environments: rivers, tide-dominated coastal and marine ...

Paleomagnetism - Michigan Technological University
Paleomagnetism. The record of the strength and direction of Earth’s magnetic field (paleomagnetism, or fossil magnetism) is an important source of our knowledge about the Earth’s evolution throughout the entire geological history. This record is preserved by many rocks from the time of their formation. The paleomagnetic data have played an ...
Glacier-generated debris flows at Mount Rainier
Glacier-generated debris flows at Mt. Rainier travel downstream at speeds of 5-10 meters per second (10-20 miles per hour) or more. People who have witnessed them report that only 1-2 minutes may pass between the time the roaring sound of an approaching debris flow is heard and the time the flow rushes past.

Our Purpose:. A primary focus of volcanology is to provide scientific and educational information that can lead to hazard mitigation. Michigan Tech's Volcanoes Page aims to provide information about volcanoes to the public and to complement other informational sites on the web. We started this site more than 20 years ago, when there were almost no other volcano sites- …
