aRifts contain fractures that serve as passageways for magma originating in the mantle. Rift zones account for most of the places where lava flows onto Earth’s surface. Fissure eruptions often occur along rift zones. These eruptions form lava that cools and solidifies into basalt, the most ...
They are built up slowly by the accretion of thousands of highly fluid lava flows calledbasalt lavathat spread widely over great distances, and then cool as thin, gently dipping sheets. Lavas also commonly erupt from vents along fractures (rift zones) that develop on the flanks of the cone. ...
Many of the oxidized zones (called supergene zones) of metal deposits in the region were removed by glaciers leaving mostly just sulfides which generally are massive and not aesthetic at the majority of locations in the region. Finding just one pyromorphite or wulfenite crystal at a lead deposit...
Component has a semiconductor body and a drift zone (2) having a conductivity type in the body. A drift control zone (3) is made of a semiconductor material and is arranged adjacent to the drift zone in the body. An accumulation dielectric is arranged between the zones. The control zone ...
The unit has body and drift zones (3, 2) extended between gate, source and drain electrodes (G,S,D) having respective zones. The body zone is provided adjacent to the electrodes (G, S). The drift zone is laid between the body zone and one of the zones of the electrodes. A compensa...
Why go: Gorongosa National Park occupies nearly one million acres in Mozambique’s Great Rift Valley and has thriving populations of lions, elephants, wildebeests, buffalo, and hippos. But it wasn’t always this way. A brutal civil war that started in 19...

and Mexico. Little do many mineral enthusiasts in the Northeast US know, there is a wonderful site to dig these minerals in Massachusetts. It is just rarely represented in the specimen market because the crystals are smaller and less abundant than the really famous spots. Regardless of that, ...
Many minerals tend to form in the “bubbles” or vesicles in this type of rock. A recently formed pillow basalt at the Galapagos Rift versus an ancient pillow basalt in the Bonin Islands, Japan. Zeolite minerals are found between the “lobes” of the lava.A vesicular basalt boulder. The ...
