Modelling seafloor volcanoes

This very simple numerical model helps us to understand what controls whether oceanic volcanoes reach sea-level to form islands. It shows how low-flexural rigidity oceanic lithosphere should respond to growth of an intraplate volcnic complex. Although the initial version of this model is as simple as possible, we can see how it could be analysed, …

How old is this rock?

This PowerPoint briefly explains radiometric dating and introduces the terms: half-life, closure temperatures, decay constant, decay law, parent isotope, daughter isotope. It looks at potassium-argon, samarium-neodymium and rubidium-strontium decay and explains how these three methods are used to date the age of a rock.
