geophysics - What are the challenges in predicting lithology …
Jul 13, 2015 · To make a good lithology prediction you need to know the elastic properties of the measured or predicted rocks in your study area. If the rocks have similar (e.g. overlapping) rock properties you need to account for this uncertainty in your lithology prediction. For example, say you are targeting gas and the predicted reservoir is sandstone.
Igneous and Sedimentary Rocks' Susceptibility to landslide
Dec 26, 2021 · Which is more susceptible to landslide based on lithology compared to one another? Granite, Conglomerate, Sandstone, Mudstone. I've been tasked to create a hazard map and was given a Geologic Map, Rainfall Map and Topographic Map. This question mainly pertains to the Geologic Map.

Oct 22, 2020 · I am looking for the full names of the lithology classifications SC7 and SC10. According to the FAO's guidelines for soil description SC3 e.g. refers to silt-, mud-, claystone. What do SC7 and SC10...
Geology: facies v. formations - Earth Science Stack Exchange
Sep 28, 2017 · A formation is a unit of stratigraphy. It refers to a set of sedimentary layers which are somehow distinct from those above and below them in the stratigraphic sequence. This may be because they have a different lithology, different sedimentary structures, or different fossil assemblages, or something else entirely.
geology - How to compare sensitivity with lithology between …
Oct 25, 2023 · In the given figure, which is plot of various elastic parameter for sand (blue) and shale(red) sequence. How to find Which crossplot has has greater sensitivity to lithology? Also what is mean by
How do quartz veins form? - Earth Science Stack Exchange
Dec 21, 2017 · The formation of quartz veins needs fluids enriched in Si. Usually Si dissolves somewhere in neighbouring formations, gets transported by fluids and precipitates where the fluid pressure is low (the fluids Si-saturation capacity decreases with decreasing fluid pressure).
Width of strata in stratigraphic column
Jan 5, 2015 · Footnote: often colour is keyed to lithology. This may or may not closely follow the grainsize. Symbols may be added to represent other relevant characteristics of the rock, such as sedimentary structures and fossils.
geology - What lithologies are deemed most suitable for the …
May 8, 2014 · Volcanic tuffs (zeolite-rich), salt deposits, and clay deposits would be examples of lithology having some (but not necessarily all) these characteristics. Granites and columnar jointed basalts may be examples of less advantageous lithology. As @david valentine said, the lithology would be only one of many factors that need to be considered.
