42. D&M Pyramid - Geomorphology
The hypothesis that the D M Pyramid is the result of geomorphological processes requires that some mechanism be proposed to account for its formation.
http://users.starpower.net/etorun/pyramid/geomorphology.html
Geomorphology
Fluvial Deposition/Erosion It is now almost universally accepted that liquid water once flowed on Mars, this belief supported by the discovery by the Mariner 9 mission As mentioned earlier, there is a theory that the basin north of Cydonia called Acidalia Planitia was once a shallow sea . There are features in the study area that are suggestive of lacustrine erosion, such as small craters with a "smudged" appearance that may at one time have been submerged and subject to shallow wave action. There are also some curvilinear features suggestive of lacustrine deposition. The D&M Pyramid, however, bears no resemblance to these features. Aeolian Deposition/Erosion Aeolian depositional landforms on Mars typically take the form of sand dunes which are morphologically similar to those found on Earth, and have been described by Breed, Grolier, and McCauley . Dunes may occur singly, in small groups, or in dune fields, and are transient in form and location. Dunes will occasionally form star-shaped dunes and crescent-shaped symmetrical dunes known as barchans, but no dune will ever form a symmetrical polyhedron resembling the one under study. Flat sides and straight edges are unobserved in terrestrial or Martian sand dunes. Another type of aeolian landform that can be somewhat pyramidal in shape are known as ventifacts. Terrestrial ventifacts are normally formed from small rocks that are exposed to the abrasive action of sand carried by the wind. Multifaceted terrestrial ventifacts are believed to have been produced as a result of movement of a rock causing it to present different faces to the direction of the prevailing winds, a process described by Sharp

Cobble beach and bedrock beach are two rocky beach types that occur where limestone bedrock forms the shore of Lake Huron or Lake Michigan. From the air, this narrow beach zone is dramatically white due to the limestone cobblestones, boulders or fractured bedrock there. Occasionally cobble-bedrock beach areas include sandy beach or dunes in small sheltered bays where sand collects on top of cobbles. In other places sand is rare and huge boulders deposited by glaciers now lie exposed, hewn by wind and waves.
The Great Lakes limestone that forms cobble-bedrock beaches is part of a large geologic formation called the Niagara escarpment. This formation is responsible for Niagara Falls to the east, the cliffs in Wisconsin's Door Peninsula to the west, and parts of the Upper Peninsula's southern shoreline. Limestone is chalky and calcium-rich and erodes to make soils that are highly alkaline. Such soils help provide habitat for a number of rare plants, some found only along northern Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.
Only certain plants can survive in the chalky, calcium-rich soil on these rocky beaches, which are constantly exposed to wind, ice, changing lake levels and lapping waves. Perhaps one of the most beautiful plants of this shoreline is the dwarf lake iris, a rare species that typically grows immediately out of reach of high waters under conifer trees and shrubs on the edge of the beach. Another rare plant is Houghton's goldenrod, whose seeds germinate in shoreline cleared of competing plants. It typically likes bedrock cracks or the wet, sandy margins of cobble beaches. Orange lichen survives in this beach zone by hugging tightly to the tops of rocks, keeping a low profile against summer waves and winter ice. Animals utilize cobble-bedrock beach for many reasons. Birds perch in nearby trees from which they can fly to feed on insects, frogs or fish in neighboring marshes, swamps or forests. Mammals use the shoreline as a travel and feeding corridor.

Summary of the Chapter
All landforms are composed of rocks or their weathered by products. Three main types of rocks can be identified on the Earth's surface: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The rock cycle is a model that describes how various geological processes create, modify and influence rocks. The rock cycle suggests that all rocks originated from magma. This model also suggests that all rock types can be melted back into magma by tectonic forces that return rock to the mantle. Time has a unique meaning to geoscientists. To a geoscientist time is not measured in seconds, minutes or days, but in eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Each one of these units measures time according to major geologic events that have occurred over the 4.6 billion years of Earth history. When a geoscientist mentions the Cretaceous we know that this is a time period that occurred between 65 to 144 million years ago. Uniformitarianism is an important theory central to understanding in geology and geomorphology. This theory suggests that the continuing uniformity of existing geomorphic and geologic processes should be used as the intellectual framework for understanding the geologic history of the Earth. It rejects the idea that the landscape of the Earth is the result of catastrophic processes (e.g., the biblical flood).

High resolution digital elevation models are available for the State of New York including Long Island. These have a horizontal resolution of 10 meters and are based on 7.5' topographic maps. For those quadrangles with 10' contour intervals, interpolation results in elevations with an uncertainty of about 4'. The appearance is as if one were viewing color-enhanced images of a barren terrain, for example Mars. This allows one to see much greater detail than is possible on a standard topographic map. The images shown on this web site have a much lower resolution than are obtainable from the files directly. Digital Elevation Models for Long Island and surrounding area can be downloaded as self extracting zip files at http://www.geo.sunysb.edu/reports/dem_2/dems/ A ca. five foot long version (jpg) of the DEM of Long Island (see above except with scale and north arrow) for printing can be downloaded at this link .

GEOLOGIST QUESTIONS "DIFFERENTIAL EROSION" AT CYDONIA GEOMORPHOLOGY AT CYDONIA By James L. Erjavec (Notes and editing by Stanley V. McDaniel, author of The McDaniel Report) ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James L. Erjavec has an M.S. in geology from The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, and a B.S. in geology from The Cleveland State University, Cleveland, Ohio. He is a geologist and Computer/Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst with over 13 years experience in those fields. A specialist in mapping and computer graphics, he has developed an extensive geomorphic feature map of the Cydonia region to assist in the establishment of a geologic baseline for continued studies. The paper presented below is a shortened form of a longer piece titled "A Geologic and Geomorphic Investigative Approach to some of the Enigmatic Cydonia Landforms." It is important to consider Erjavec's paper in relation to NASA's claim that the debated landforms at Cydonia have already been subjected to a thorough scientific study. From Erjavec's discussion it would appear that NASA geomorphologists who maintain that the debated Cydonian objects are simply a result of "differential erosion" have not had the last word on this subject and that there is much to learn.

52. Remote Sensing Tutorial Page 17-1
He realized then that a whole new branch of geomorphology the study of landforms - which he termed Megageomorphology could be developed from space
http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov/Sect17/Sect17_1.html
In much of the preceding 16 sections, the impression is gained that remote sensing is directed towards applications. But, in truth, sensors detecting electromagnetic radiation have been one of the dominant data acquisition and analyzing devices in a wide range of (basic) scientific research. Witness the vital role remote sensing is given in observing and measuring the planets in our Solar System, and even more so, in all other things astronomical. This will be addressed in detail in Sections 19 and 20.
BASIC SCIENCE STUDIES 1: GEOMORPHOLOGY
Mega-Geomorphology Defined and Geomorphic Maps
The primary thrust of the Tutorial to this point has dwelled on applications - the practical use of remote sensing to oversee conditions or solve problems dealing with the Earth's environments and manmade infrastructures. The emphasis has therefore been on the status of land and water surfaces, and on the overlying atmosphere, insofar as these affect human activities. The payoff from this monitoring is a better understanding of and interaction with (usually changing) events which influence our lives - food production, deforestation, urban expansion, mineral extraction, movement and severity of major storms, flooding, ocean nutrient detection, industrial site selection, to name a few - occurring at both regional and local scales that are readily observable from space. We don't classify most of the applications, such as those above involving use of remote sensing, under a heading of "Basic Science" studies, although principles of science, such as the physics of electromagnetic radiation, are involved. Purists may argue that information about space "observables," such as determining ozone distribution worldwide, measuring heat flow in the oceans, and observing the biomes and their seasonal variation over the continents, augments the subject matter normally associated with basic science.

In this class we will explore the physical processes responsible for the continually evolving surficial geology and gain an appreciation for the dynamic nature of Earth’s surface. Through class lectures, discussions, group activities and laboratory and field exercises, we will learn about the historical development of the field, techniques of geomorphic investigation, surficial processes operating in diverse environments and landscapes, and computer and Internet resources for geomorphic research. Finally, through an independent research project or term paper, which will be presented to the class at the end of the semester, each person will have an opportunity to explore in depth a particular facet of geomorphology that he/she finds particularly intriguing. Required Textbook: The text listed below is available in the university bookstore. I will also occasionally assign outside readings which will be made available in the geology department learning center (CHE 326) short-term borrowing and copying.

Geology, Geomorphology, and Drainage
Brazil Table of Contents In contrast to the Andes, which rose to elevations of nearly 7,000 meters in a relatively recent epoch and inverted the Amazon's direction of flow from westward to eastward, Brazil's geological formation is very old. Precambrian crystalline shields cover 36 percent of the territory, especially its central area. The principal mountain ranges average elevations just under 2,000 meters. The Serra do Mar Range hugs the Atlantic coast, and the Serra do Espinhaço Range, the largest in area, extends through the south-central part of the country (see fig. 3). The highest mountains are in the Tumucumaque, Pacaraima, and Imeri ranges, among others, which traverse the northern border with the Guianas and Venezuela. In addition to mountain ranges (about 0.5 percent of the country is above 1,200 meters), Brazil's Central Highlands include a vast central plateau (Planalto Central). The plateau's uneven terrain has an average elevation of 1,000 meters. The rest of the territory is made up primarily of sedimentary basins, the largest of which is drained by the Amazon and its tributaries. Of the total territory, 41 percent averages less than 200 meters in elevation. The coastal zone is noted for thousands of kilometers of tropical beaches interspersed with mangroves, lagoons, and dunes, as well as numerous coral reefs.
