Geology Of The East-Central Portion Of The Nelson Quadrangle, Clark County, Nevada, Tedral Kantor

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to determine the unusually complex geology of a little-known area south of the Eldorado mining district, southern Clark County, Nevada. The area, mapped at a scale of 1:24000, comprises a segment of the northerly-trending Eldorado mountains in the southeast corner of the Great Basin. This rugged desert area is on a drainage divide between the Great Basin and the Colorado River. The rocks of the area consist of Precambrian gneisses and schists invaded by successive generations of Upper Cretaceous (?) - Tertiary igneous rocks. The older rocks, mainly biotite-chlorite gneisses, have resulted from high-grade …

Certain Features Of Alteration In The Michigan Lavas And Their Genetic Interpretation, Peethambaram Doraibabu

Masters Theses

"The origin of the alteration and copper mineralization in the Keweenawan lavas of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is one of the well known controversial topics in Economic Geology. The literature on this problem is most extensive and an attempt was made in this thesis to first review as many aspects of the discussion as appeared to be necessary. This portion is necessarily extensive, and it is hoped that some new light has been thrown here on some patterns of approach or thought which, today, can hardly be called scientific.

Next, the observations made in the field, on hand specimens …

Certain Trace Element Distribution In The Searchlight, Nevada Quartz Monzonite, Clark County, Nevada, Jai Nandan Shrivastava

Masters Theses

"The once prosperous gold, silver, copper and lead mines of the Searchlight mining district, Nevada, are situated along the south and western margins of a large quartz monzonite body. This intrudes the Precambrian gneisses and younger lava flows. Associated mineral veins show an eccentric type of zoning around the intrusive.

Seven rock samples of the quartz monzonite representing different parts of the intrusive were analyzed petrographically and spectrographically. Modal analyses and various types of rock alteration were investigated petrographically. Spectrochemical analyses of the rock samples and their major minerals were carried out for certain trace elements. A semi-quantitative method was …

The Surficial Geology Of Southern Logan County, North Dakota, John W. Bonneville

Theses and Dissertations

Southern Logan County, North Dakota, was glaciated at least three different times during the Pleistocene epoch. Scattered patches of highly weathered iron-cemented drift found in the area of eroded Cretaceous bedrock in southwest-era Logan County are very possibly pre-Wisconsinan in age. Two younger drift sheets of Wisconsinan age cover the remaining portion of the county. One of these drifts, the Napoleon drift, is probably early Wisconsinan, and the other, the Burnstad-Streeter drift, is likely late Wisconsinan in age.

A great diversity in types of glacial topography and individual features is found in southern Logan County. Excellent examples of end moraine, …

Geology Of The Area Between Virden And Red Rock, Hidalgo And Grant Counties, New Mexico, Biswa Pradhan

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The area between Virden and Red Rock is located in southwestern New Mexico, about 30 miles northwest of the town Longsburg. Mapping covered an area of about 94 square miles.

This report deals with the stratigraphy of sedimentary and igneous rocks of the area, with particular attention to the faunal and floral assemblages of Cretaceous sediments and the consequent determination of age of interbedded volcanic rocks.

Geology Of The East Potrillo Hills, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, William E. Bowers

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The East Potrillo Hills are essentially a low north-westerly trending ridge that lies just north of the Mexican border in southern Dona Ana County, New Mexico. The range is approximately 7 miles long and up to 1 1/2 miles wide. It is cut by transverse canyons that carry water to the bolson only during occasionally heavy rains. The crest of the ranges lies 700 to 900 feet above the extensive La Mesa plain which stretches for more than 20 miles to the north, east, and south. In the northern part of the range, the crest reaches a maximum elevation of …

Upper Cretaceous Farmington Sandstone Of Northeastern San Juan County, New Mexico, Ottis L. Dilworth

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Upper Cretaceous Farmington sandstone is found only in northwestern New Mexico and Southwestern Colorado. The Farmington sandstone is the middle member of the Kirtland shale, there being a Kirtland shale member above and below it. This sandstone unit appears as an extensive wedge in the Kirtland shale and thins northward, southward, and southeastward from Townships 30-31 North, Ranges 9-13 West. The thickness of the Farmington sandstone ranges from 27 to 818 feet within the area of this thesis. The unit is correlative with parts of the Vermejo formation of the Raton basin and the Fox Hills formation of the …

Water Resources Of The Western Slopes Of The Sandia Mountains, Bernalillo And Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, Eugene R. Caprio

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The purpose of the study on which this thesis is based is to determine the source, occurrence, characteristics, and possible amounts of surface and ground water available along the western slope of the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico.

Geology Of The Northern Part Of The Fra Cristobal Range, Sierra And Socorro Counties, New Mexico, John T. Mccleary

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The northern part of the Fra Cristobal Range contains rocks of Precambrian, Cambrian, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary age. One of the northernmost exposures in New Mexico of the Cambrian Bliss formation occurs in the central part of the range. Here the bliss formation wedges out due to widespread pre-Pennsylvanian erosion which removed all the other lower Paleozoic rocks.

The Pennsylvanian Magdalena group, which is predominately limestone, rests uncomformably on Precambrian rock and the Bliss Formation. It forms the greatest part of the sedimentary sequence and is divided into three formations; the Red House, Nakaye, and Bar B formations …

A Magnetic Survey In The Rio Grande Depression, John W. M'Gonigle

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

A vertical magnetic survey of a part of the Albuquerque basin was made in the fall and winter of 1959 to test the feasibility of detecting major faults in the Precambrian basement rocks.

Controls On Paradox Salt Deposition In The Area Of Comb Monocline San Juan County, Utah, Jim S. Hinds

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

This study was undertaken for the purpose of delineating the configuration of the Paradox salt wedge edge in relation to the Comb monocline structure. It was designed to illustrate whether or not, and to what extent, the Comb structure was a submarine barrier controlling deposition of sediments on the western shelf of the Paradox seaway during middle Paradox time.

Studies In Iron Chlorosis Of Leaves, Narayan Gunderao Perur

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Normal healthy growth and development of plants is controlled by certain factors known as factors of plant growth. They are soil, climate, and plant inheritance. The soil contains many nutrient elements needed by plants both in macro and micro quantities. Iron is one of the essential elements required by plants in small amounts.

When plants are starving for any of the essential nutrients, characteristic symptoms usually appear as certain abnormalities, discoloration and deformation of leaves, fruits, and other parts. The deficiency symptoms, though not easily recognizable in some cases at the beginning, are quite apparent in advanced stages of plant …

The Temperature Dependence Of The Drying Of Horizontal Soil Columns, Craig Loren Wiegand

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A consideration of the physical principles involved in evaporative drying of soil indicates that several physical processes might possibly limit the rate of evaporation. These include the rate of supply of energy to the site of evaporation, the rate of transfer of water vapor through the sample or through the atmosphere above the sample, and the rate of unsaturated flow of water to the soil surface or to the site of evaporation.

The Effect Of The Method Of Irrigation And Fertilizer Application On The Movement Of Nitrates In The Soil, Lavoir A. Banks

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is generally recognized that one of the most important factors limiting crop production is soil nitrogen. Farmers today are using more nitrogen fertilizers than ever before. All indications show that this usage will probably continue to increase. With the expanded use of nitrogen, it has become desirable to increase the efficiency from nitrogen fertilizers. One factor which will affect the efficiency is the position of the nitrogen in the soil in relation to the plant roots.

Hydrogen Bonding Between The Carbonyl Group And Wyoming Bentonite, Robert A. Kohl

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The vibrational frequencies of atom to atom bonds within a molecule are a function of the bond energies. Each bond has its characteristic frequency, and most of these frequencies can be detected with the infrared spectrophotometer. When one compound reacts with another or is adsorbed on the surface of a solid, detectable frequency changes or shifts may occur. These changes or shifts yield valuable information about the bonds which are formed or broken.

The Influence Of Soil Moisture Suction And Evaporative Demand On Actual Evapotranspiration And Yield Of Alfalfa, Bozorg Bahrani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Evapotranspiration has been defined as the combination of evaporation of water from the soil surface and transpiration of water by vegetation. If the ground is well covered by plants, most of the water is lost by transpiration of water directly from the plant tissue, rather than by evaporation of water directly from the soil surface. The term consumptive use is synonymous with evapotranspiration.

Spores Of The Pennsylvanian Toronto Limestone In Kansas And Oklahoma, James F. Carter

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
