In splash erosion, the impact of a falling raindrop creates a small crater in the soil, ejecting soil particles. The distance these soil particles travel can be as much as 0.6 m (two feet) vertically and 1.5 m (five feet) horizontally on level ground.
Io is composed primarily of rocky material with very little iron. Io is located within an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field. As the magnetosphere rotates with Jupiter, it sweeps past Io and strips away about 1,000 kilograms (1 ton) of material per second.o is composed primarily of rocky material with very little iron.

Beryl is the gem mineral of emerald, aquamarine, morganite, red beryl, heliodor and more. Scoria: A piece of scoria about 4 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter. A specimen with a rounded shape like this was most likely blown from a volcanic vent and would be appropriately called lapilli.his color difference is a result of their composition. Scoria forms from basaltic magmas while pumice forms from rhyolitic magmas-which usually contain a more gas. Pumice has a much higher concentration of trapped bubbles-so many that the walls between them are very thin.
