Goal: To identify different building materials on the UConn campus, to find out what they are, what rock these building materials are derived from, and where they may have been mined. Narrative: We have in this course talked about Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes and Volcanos, both of which leave a permanent mark in the geologic record. Earthquakes and the movement of tectonic plates can be traced by signs of stress in the rocks: rocks with visible deformation like folds, faults and foliation; we call those rocks metamorphic rocks and examples are Gneiss, Schist and Slate. Volcanos on the other hand leave behind solidified magma: for example, Basalt and Granite. These rocks are all around us, including on campus. Not just natural rock formations in the bedrock, but also rocks that have been incorporated into buildings or parts of buildings or roads and pavement. These rocks all have to be mined from somewhere. Some rocks were altered to better fit our needs, but some were used pretty much as is. Just from looking around you on campus, based on the colors of the building materials, it's not that hard to see that campus includes a wide variety of rock types. In this exercise, you'll do a combination of making observations and doing some research to figure out some things about building materials. Steps: • • . • Making observations [1.5 pts]Identify at least three different building materials on campus that are derived from rocks Take pictures of the three different building materials Provide a brief description of the building materials. What is the color? The texture (grany, wavy, uniform, other)? Does it have fossils in them (yes, some do on campus)? Does it have other structures? Do you see crystals? Research [2.5 pts]. For each of your building materials: What is this building material called? If you're unsure, you can try doing a Google Image search, that often works quite well! Briefly summarize (2-3 sentences) for each building material how it is generally formed and obtained. For example, granite is formed by cooling of a magma chamber and then millions of later has to be quarried and cut before it's ready for use! Where might these rocks be quarried? Try to find out where rock quarries exist and just a hint: most rocks used in infrastructure are mined less than 100 miles away!
