Flow Structure and Composition of the Southern Coulee, Mono Craters, California—A Pumiceous Rhyolite Flow Flow Structure and Composition of the Southern Coulee, Mono Craters, California—A Pumiceous Rhyolite Flow

The Southern Coulee is the southernmost and largest of the four Recent pumiceous rhyolitic coulees, or stubby flows, of the Mono Craters, eastern California. It is one of the youngest volcanic deposits of the Mono Craters and is largely bare and uneroded. The coulee is 3.6 km long and averages 1.2 km in width and 75 m in thickness. It was protruded from a north-trending fissure beneath...

Chapter 9: Theory and processes relating to the lunar maria from the surveyor experiments Chapter 9: Theory and processes relating to the lunar maria from the surveyor experiments

Prior to the Surveyor missions, there were three principal theories about the chemical constitution of the lunar maria: that the maria were (1) chondritic, (2) basaltic, or (3) silicic. Three types of materials recovered on Earth were suspected of coming from the maria: (1) chondritic meteorites, (2) basaltic achondrites, and (3) tektites. The Surveyor chemists have now spoken: Turkevich...

Home range and travels Home range and travels

The concept of home range was expressed by Seton (1909) in the term 'home region,' which Burr (1940, 1943) clarified with a definition of home range and exemplified in a definitive study of Peromyscus in the field. Burt pointed out the ever-changing characteristics of home-range area and the consequent absence of boundaries in the usual sense--a finding verified by investigators...
