Daily Postcard: Valles Caldera Helped Prove Theory Of Plate Tectonics Now Widely Accepted
Daily Postcard: Two scientific bore holes from a paleomagnetism study on Cerro Abrigo. I heard that Valles Caldera helped prove the theory of plate tectonics. How so? When scientists were working to verify the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, Valles Caldera was an ideal study location due to the occurrence of certain aged volcanic rocks. Similarly aged rocks from Valles Caldera’s lava domes and from the ocean floor were analyzed for their symmetrical stripes of alternating normal and reversed magnetic polarity. Some of the young reversals of the Earth’s magnetic field that Read More

Fr. Theophan: Remember To Love Your Town
By Fr. Theophan
Rector
Saint Job of Pochaiv Orthodox Church
This past week I had the pleasure and great opportunity to attend an iconography workshop in Carnegie, a small suburb of Pittsburg. I stayed with my parents in West Virginia right across the state border. Adjacent to the class, I conducted a wedding ceremony in a beautiful Orthodox church in Greenville, S.C., and served a liturgy in Anderson, nearby.
I feel like breaking into song with Johnny Cash, “I’ve been everywhere, man…”
Other than the airline trip back home, which is worth a novel in itself for all the twists and turns it made, the Read More
