Hi! I haven’t posted anything in a while (again). Starting uni is quite an overwhelming process! The weather has been absolutely awful for the last couple of weeks and as it’s already October so I don’t expect it to get better (winters in russia (near the ural mountains at least) usually start in late october-november). Actually, I’m really excited for winter this year (idk why though, I always hated this time of the year). Oh, and I’m craving some apple pie right now (can’t wait to go home tomorrow and make one with my mom)

Observing the landscape

Being able to observe the changes in landscape and relating these to underlaying rocks is extremely useful in terms of geological mapping or understanding the connection between the two.

Here you can see a contact between the limestone (right-hand side) and intrusive igneous rock (left-hand side). You can see that there is less vegetation on limestone, and that there is more exposed rock in comparison to the igneous rock. It is because limestone is deficient in nutrients plants need and therefore it produces poor infertile soils in comparison to igneous rock, which is rich in nutrients and produces clays as it weathers allowing plants to take good hold.

Such change in vegetation amplifies the difference in underlaying geology which helps the geologist to target places to visit while mapping.
