		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the solid matter of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history and the processes that shape it.
		The word "geology" was first used by Jean-André Deluc in the year 1778 and introduced as a fixed term by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the year 1779.
		In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.

	02.05 Vulnerability of Groundwater to Pollution
		After it there is a description of groundwater vulnerability to pollution on the basis of geology and depths to groundwater from the surface in the geomorphological unit of Berlin.
		Boulder marl is on the surface or near-surface.
		Pollutants reach the groundwater in the northern upland later than in the southern, because of the greater thickness of the boulder marl.

		These areas are separated by big faults or breaks in the Earth’s crust known to geologists as the Moine Thrust in the north-west, the Great Glen Fault, the Highland Boundary Fault and the Southern Upland Fault.
		This involved the gradual closure of an ocean which separated them with the formation of the Southern Uplands which forms the Border country.
		With the closing of the ocean, the newly formed Southern Uplands and the other parts of Scotland were gradually shunted together along the fault lines and became ‘welded’ together.

	Geology
		The geology of these Carboniferous strata is separated from that of the Magdalen Basin to the north by the Hollow Fault which runs northeasterly from New Glasgow, forming the north western perimeter of the Antigonish-Pictou Highlands, below the Northumberland Strait and again onshore south of the Mabou Highlands (Durling et al., 1995).
		Patterns of surficial geology are generally the result of redistribution of surface materials by the most recent glacial event, Wisconsin Glaciation, beginning 75,000 years ago and ending between 12,000 to 10,000 years ago in Nova Scotia (Davis and Brown, 1996).
		The surficial geology of the lowlands is predominantly glacial advance deposits of stony to silty till, of 2 to 25 m in thickness.

	Acid grasslands - upland
		Upland acid grassland is characterised by vegetation dominated by grasses and herbs on a range of lime-deficient soils which have been derived from acid rocks such as sandstones, acid igneous rocks and on superficial deposits such as sands and gravels.
		Upland is defined as above the level of agricultural enclosure.
		Acid grassland types and snow-bed communities which occur exclusively in the montane (alpine) zone are included in the Montane grasslands and heaths reporting category.

	The Vital Link between Land and Water: The Importance of Uplands for Protecting Wetland Functions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The occurrence of both wetlands and uplands is dependent upon the local geography, topography, geology, hydrology, soil types, and frequency of fire.
		Drilling wells in an upland to supply water for development or agriculture will reduce the ground water level and decrease the depth of water and the hydroperiod (the length of time the surface is inundated) in the nearby wetland.
		When an upland adjacent to a wetland is developed, sedimentation (the increase of deposited particulate matter), can become a major water quality problem for the wetland.

	Wisconsin: Geographical Provinces: Western Upland
		The uplands thus stand 100 to 200 feet above the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands to the southeast, and 200 to 350 feet above the Central Plain to the northeast.
		Aside from the upland itself the strongest topographic features of the region are the great trenches or gorges of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers and their numerous branches.
		The northern four-fifths of the Western Upland lies in the belt of Lower Magnesian limestone, and to a smaller extent in the area of the Cambrian sandstone.

	ANHIC: Kazan Upland Subregion, Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture
		Much of the Kazan Upland Subregion has no soil, being either exposed bedrock or where the amount of weathered material is too thin over bedrock to qualify as a soil.
		The vegetation of the uplands is a mosaic of rock barrens, jack pine open forest on sand plains and rocky hills, and fl spruce in wet depressional peatlands.
		Characteristic species of upland jack pine forests include common nighthawk, gray jay, common raven, boreal chickadee, American robin, hermit thrush, dark-eyed junco, red squirrel, varying hare, lynx and fl bear.

		The area is characterized by quick transitions into adjacent habits of upland acid-soil tallgrass prairie openings; mesic and damp ravines; mature oak-hickory forest; and river riparian forest.
		Upland acid-soil prairies characterized by bunchgrasses, especially big and little bluestems, form openings adjacent to barrens and contain their own suite of butterfly species.
		Studies indicate that rapid changes from "barrens" habitat to upland acid-soil prairie to mesic and damp ravine environment occur in McDonough County, Illinois.

	USGS Geology in the Parks
		The Superior Upland Province is the southern extension of the Laurentian Upland Province, part of the nucleus of North America called Canadian Shield.
		The basement rocks of the Laurentian Upland Province were metamorphosed about 2500 million years ago in a mountain-building collision of tectonic plates called the Kenoran orogeny.
		The rocks of the Superior Upland are mostly Precambrian metamorphic rocks and overlying Paleozoic rocks (Cambrian) covered by a thin veneer of glacial deposits left behind when glaciers melted at the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age.

		The effect of sediment transport on the removal and redistribution of organic carbon in undisturbed upland ecosystems.
		We hypothesize that soils in upland ecosystems, particularly forests, may be part of this sink.
		If erosion is removing a fraction of the annual C inputs by plants, and if the eroded C is buried nearby in depositional settings, then soils on uplands may be an unrecognized and on-going sink of atmospheric CO2.

		The Salem Plateau is a heavily dissected plateau with upland elevations of between 1,000 and 1,400 feet (MDNR 1986).
		The only exception to this is a two mile section of the Warm Fork occurring within the sandstone and cherty dolomite of the Roubidoux Formation which underlies the Jefferson City Formation (Figure Ge01)(MSDIS 1998 and MDNR 1994).
		Due to the nature of the surface geology of the watershed as well as climatic conditions, there are many karst features present here including sink holes, losing streams, and springs (MDNR 1986 and MDNR 1994).

	Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority - Yorkshire Moors and Fells Character Areas
		The geology of the limestone moors and pavements is dominated by the Great Scar Limestone, which comprises a number of layers of limestone beds of varying thickness and hardness and up to 200m in overall depth.
		The karst can be summed up as a highly detailed, dramatic landscape where the exposed geology becomes the overriding landscape characteristic, indeed, the outstanding scenic quality of the limestone landscape was one of the prime reasons for designation of the Yorkshire Dales as a National Park.
		An extensive capping of Millstone Grit has created upland plateau characteristics which are more similar to that of the southern and eastern gritstone moors and fells than the widely varying peaks and valleys of the central dales area.

		Where they stopped in Indiana is referred to as the "Norman and Crawford Uplands." Because they were never flattened down, these "uplands" of Southern Indiana consist of rugged, heavily wooded and narrowly eroded "hills and hollers" several feet higher than the surrounding valleys and plains that so characterize Northern Indiana.
		The upland terrain, fringing the edges of the retreating glaciers, became natural havens for innumerable forms of wildlife.
		From Clovis to Mound Builders, to The Little Turtle and Tecumseh, the uplands were the favored hunting grounds of indigenous peoples for tens of thousands of years.
