Over time, rocks weather due to the influence of wind, water, ice, and daily and seasonal temperature differences. These weathering products form then short the pedosphere (the ground), go into solution in water (chemistry), are transported as dust, and similar processes. Long term, but they rearrange stable, lithify and form sedimentary rocks, are transported into the deep, and after transformation (metamorphosis) reveal pushed back ...

This very thin lime- clay layer lies between two calcareous sediments and showed a different fossil record , which to a mass extinction ( faunal ) hinted . While further analysis Alvarez noted a high iridium concentrations; a typical ... An article by Peter Seroka (written in german) |
