stalactites Sannur Cave is characterized by the presence of geological formations known as Stalactites and Stalagmites in a perfect beautiful formed over millions of years, about 60 million years ago dates back to the Era of Middle Eocene. Leakage of aqueous solutions of calcium carbonate saturated through the roof of the cave and then evaporated, leaving the mineral salts that accumulated in the form of deposits of stalactites and stalgmites. Sannur cave extends a distance of about 700 m, breadth about 15 m and depth is about 15 m. It’s Located in Beni Suef province, Egypt. about 70 kilometres southeast of the city. The cave is important to the scarcity of such natural formations “Egyptian Alabaster” as it is of great importance for researchers, Geologists, and Caving fans. Location: كهف وادي سنور في بني سويف من أجمل الكهوف التي رأيتها في حياتي. ما تراه في الصور هي أحجار جيرية نتجت عن عمليات التبخر من مياه الينابيع الحارة داخل الكهف، أو من عمليات ترسيب بطئ من قطرات ال...

I watched amazing documentary film about Mega structures: Black gold fields on National Geographic Channel Abu Dhabi . Extraction of the petroleum deposit in Canada required Mega structures. Oil sands will be the future of the oil industry. Shell challenge Syncrude in better production, but Shell system for extraction oil from sands uses large amount of water, producing waste water. Officially they use this water for planting wood, but the trees required long time to grow and use this large amount of the waste water. what make me blog this post is Shell environmental engineer opinion: look at the bright side! we are cleaning the sand from the oil, we cleaning the environment from the dirty oil!! هياكل عملاقة: حقل الذهب الأسود

A strong earthquake has hit the coast of the Greek island of Crete- aftershocks felt in Egypt .1 hour ago i felt earthquake at my home in Ismailia, Egypt but nothing damage here thanks god. Nile News report it's 5.9M. Actually this the third  earthquake i felt in my live. I still remember the first earthquake i felt in 1992 . thanks god!

It's name of a session in ScienceOnline2011 the fifth annual international meeting on Science and the   Web. On January 13-15th, 2011. I delayed to blog about it, because I'm struggling lost circulation at depth 437m in limestone i fixed it previously but it revenge from us, we are now at 891m depth. It but me in bad mood to blog about what I'm thinking to improve my blog. During the online streaming of this session a pulse in my mind push me to ask; What is the best blogging service for scientist Blogger, Wordpress, etc.? you will see my question and the answer at time 48:12 Sorry geeks, it was confusing to me. Thank you for your answers. Here is the vid about that session "It’s All Geek to Me" enjoy watching [vimeo 21043520 w=400 h=225] Sorry This video does not exist. I found the best discussions for my question here on Discussing WordPress for Scientists . Also  here is my Q? on LinkedIn Answers http://linkd.in/gN3yPS. I blog to help my ca...

This post about when student like me try to digitizing paper map:

Colors on Geologic Time Scale or on Geologic Maps form a problem to all geologists around the world, there are many standards  in color. I'll not speak about the history of colors or the culture behind the difference in colors, Geologic maps rely on color to symbolize the different ages of rocks. same area can be mapped in different colors, and you can use one or two reference to geologic time scale. USGS have standards and BGS have another standards, it's not the problem of 'Colors' and 'Colours' . When biologists made one DNA standards, they work on  the Human Genome Project to mapping the Human genome , the complete code of the human genome is one of the best science achievements. All Geologists need one standard for the geological time scale, or for Geologic Maps whatever it's source (origin) or it's culture. one standard is important for many scientific reasons.

What if Global Warming not resulting by excess of Co2 level? What if the sun become more energize? I think global
