BANDED ROCK. “Foliation occurs when a strong compressive force is applied to a recrystallizing rock from one direction. Consequently, the platy or elongated crystals of some minerals (such as mica or chlorite) grow with their long axes perpendicular to the direction of the force. This process results in foliated rock, in which the bands display the colors of the minerals that formed them.” https://lnkd.in/eSpeQsqS View in LinkedIn

ROLE OF RAINWATER. “Hot water and other fluids may transport these chemicals rapidly over great distances.

NOBEL RECOGNITION. “Siegbahn received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1981, in recognition of his wide-ranging efforts to develop XPS into a useful analytical tool. In parallel with Siegbahn's work, David Turner at Imperial College in the UK developed ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) on molecular species using helium lamps.” (XPS = X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

EXPERIMENTAL PROOF. “1914, Robert Millikan's experiment supported Einstein's model of the photoelectric effect. Robert Millikan (22 March 1868–19 December 1953, American experimental physicist) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923 for “his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn
