Geology: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the geology of the area?
Hmm, I might have to consult a Geologist on this one. What I (think I) know is that the area is substantially quartzite sandstone, of varying hardness, and was probably laid down millions of years ago around when there was a great inland sea. Somewhere in between the sandstone eras was a relatively short limestone era (presumably when there was an inland sea). ...

What is the regional geology like?
The Gloucester Basin, approximately 40km long and 10km wide, forms part of a north-south trending syncline within the southern part of the New England Fold Belt. A thick sequence of Carboniferous volcanics is conformably overlain by Permian sedimentary rocks. This late Permian sequence forms a discrete geological basin of the same age as the Sydney Basin sediments. ...

What is the geology of the AONB?
About 290 million years ago the area was strongly folded, faulted and uplifted. Devonian Old Red Sandstone emerges where the limestone has been eroded. Surrounding the Old Red Sandstone exposures are the Lower Limestone Shales succeeded by the main mass of Carboniferous Limestone.

Is this a "Geology Field Course"?
The course ' Field Geology of East Africa' is a geology field course designed to provide the student with the same suite of mapping tools and experience normally found in stateside Field Geology courses. Check the course description. It should satisfy the Field Course requirements of most geology departments. Check with your college or university to be sure.

What is the geology of the hillside?
The geology of the hillside is very rocky. While I cannot comment on the composition of any soil that does exist, our assumption during the analysis of the project was that excavation would be exclusively rock.

When is the Geology Ball and will it be good?
The ball, organised by the AHGS, is usually in February. The venue changes from year to year but it basically involves a posh night out with a three course meal, a semi-famous guest speaker, various ents and a chance to dance the night away. This is the society's premier event with a big demand for tickets (so it helps to be a member) and it is always an amazing night!

What is geology? What is paleontology?
Geology is the study of the Earth throughout its history, and includes the study of any processes that happen within the Earth (plate tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes) or upon its surface (climate change, glaciers, ocean currents, the evolution of life). Therefore, paleontology is only a small subset of geology that looks at life (in the form of fossils) as it has evolved through time. ...

What is the geology like under my land?
The Appalachian Plateau Province of the western two-thirds of the State generally consists of relatively flat-lying, relatively younger sedimentary rocks of Permian, Pennsylvanian, and Mississippian age exposed at the surface. The Valley and Ridge Province of the eastern third of the State contains folded, relatively-older sedimentary rocks of Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, and Cambrian age. The Allegheny Front separates the two provinces. ...

What impact does site geology play?
Soil characteristics, as part of site geology, plays a crucial role in site evaluation and determination of septic system design. For example, fractured rock just beneath the ground surface may allow inadequately treated wastewater from an improperly designed septic system to travel rapidly through the fractured rock and contaminate groundwater. This may endanger drinking water wells drawing water from these aquifers. A properly designed septic system where there is an adequate amount of soil will prevent this. ...

What are the requirements to qualify to take the geology examination?
Applicants for examination in Georgia now take the National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG) national examination for registration in Georgia.
