You don't have to study anymore! College will be a breeze. :)
Haha. It is =)
Geo 112 is my lab, and we were doing mineral ID, i did it all from memory.
Unfortunately, in my haste, I IDed all the samples, but then forgot to fill in extra infor (hardness, streak, etc) for two of the minerals, and I got an 82 =(.

How does someone tell between a pyroclastic flow and pyroclastic surge if given a picture?
Science Olympiad is a tribute to Murphey's Law. This has been proven experimentally.
And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.

if the picture has a hill or ridge in it, then the pyroclastic surge can travel over the hill/ridge, while a pyroclastic flow always moves downhill

NVM--i accidentally hit quote isnstead of edit: anyway to make this semi useful, Are there major differences between the B and C rules? If so what are they. (I'm kind of asking this to see if my B notesheet will be still useful)

or not......you edited your post.

Listen can you not spam your results like that. Honestly good job for getting first, but that doesn't make you more qualified to answer things than the rest of us. Put it in your sig if you want us to know
