Chrome Hill The knob ahead of you in this lovely photograph from England’s Peak District shows Chrome Hill. This hill is considered a “reef knoll”: it is mostly made of limestone but formed in an unusual setting. Most limestones form as beds deposited over wide areas; coral reefs will cover wide areas and areas where carbonate shells are broken down to sediments like the Bahamas today also cover wide platforms. A Reef Knoll is a much smaller, blob-shape of limestone. It started out growing at a single spot, grew outwards from that core into a dome shape, but then other fine-grained sediments buried the surroundings, limiting the growth of the feature. Those fine-grained sediments have now washed away, leaving the occasional hill like this one dotting this landscape. There is little to no chrome to mine in Chrome hill, btw. -JBB Image credit: Mark Rickabay https://flic.kr/p/23SrkuJ References: http://www.thepeakdistrict.info/peak-district-reef-geology.… http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.582167
I found a stray photo on my laptop of Chrome Hill in the Peak District, UK from last summer. Thought you might like it!
Chrome may be an odd name; and it isn’t for the colour, but rhymes with the word ‘room’ and is from an Old English word that means bent or twisted (Source: X).
Enjoy!
