REMOTE SENSING RESEARCH IN THE ANTI-ATLAS MOUNTAINS, MOROCCO Erosional inliers within the Anti-Atlas Mountains expose segments of a 600 million year old suture zone resulting from the subduction of a Late Precambrian ocean basin. This regional assessment will help define the role of the Anti-Atlas region in relation to the Latest Precambrian West Gondwana supercontinent assembly. The ground-based spectral data of known rock types were used to assess the spectral characteristics of the rocks in the field, comparing it with the satellite spectral readings of the sample site in order to aid in the identification of rock types in other inliers for which geologic mapping is sparse. gsa.confex.com /gsa/2001AM/finalprogram/abstract_27788.htm   (409 words)

Earth from Space - Image Information South of the snow-covered peaks of the high ranges are the folded ranges of the barren, rocky Anti-Atlas Mountains that have an average elevation of 3500 feet (1070 meters) and numerous small gullies and canyons. Atlas, the European name for the mountains, reflects the ancient Greeks’ belief that this was the home of the god Atlas. Because the Atlas Mountains were born of the same global convulsions that formed the Alps and the Himalayas, geologically they are more European than African. earth.jsc.nasa.gov /sseop/EFS/printinfo.pl?PHOTO=STS059-L03-2   (357 words)

Morocco Birding Resources by the Fat Birder > World Birding > Africa > Morocco Saharan Morocco lies to the south of the High and Anti-Atlas.

Mercury Poisoning Mercury can be a source of environmental contamination when present in seed dressing fungicides, anti-slime fungicides in pulp and paper industries, by-products of burning coal, mine tailings and wastes from chlorine-alkali industries. Mercury which is eliminated from the female via egg laying, has been reported to cause abnormal egg laying behavior, impaired reproduction, slowed duckling growth, and altered duckling behavior in mallard ducks. Inorganic mercury which enters a water source is readily converted to methyl mercury by aquatic microorganisms and accumulates in the tissues of fish. www.michigan.gov /dnr/0,1607,7-153-10370_12150_12220-26953--,00.html   (500 words)

Is the Bahá'í Faith a World Religion? Even the Reverend William Miller, an author of anti-Bahá'í polemical literature, has admitted that "Whoever peruses the thousands of pages of the thirteen volumes of The Bahá'í World will be impressed by the fact that the Bahá'í Faith is indeed a world faith" (Bahá'í 349). The case against the classification of the Bahá'í Faith as a world religion is presented and shown to rely on criteria that are not integral to the classification of world religions. Whatever the merits of this case, there are important practical implications of the term "world religion" in areas such as university religious studies, religious education, and interreligious dialogue and cooperation. bahai-library.com /?file=fazel_bahai_world.html   (500 words)

Only a couple of magazine articles and manifestos are available in it, and only since 2003 have any books at all has been published in it; however, with the backing of the Moroccan government and of a substantial portion of Moroccan Berber activists, this looks set to change fast. www.geocities.com /lameens/tifinagh   (500 words)
