Kimberlite pipes are cool. They are basically big shots of magma from deep in the crust. They tend to be very round pipes that go down and down and down. Most are not diamondiferous but all are cool. The material that forms the main body of the pipe is usually quite soft and in nature they usually present as small perfectly round shallow lakes. This is because they tend to erode faster than the material around them.

Its also kinda neat that once you reach the economic limit for the surface mine they follow these puppies way far underground. They usually keep going down to the limit of what you can feasibly work depth wise. Occasionally they will terminate abruptly at some depth but that is the exception rather than the rule.

Once again kimberlite pipes are cool!

kimberlite pipes eh?

how come we never studied that in geography?

just sand spits and oxbow lakes and formation of waterfalls.

i will write and complain to Mr. McGuffie

It's more about geology than geography.

only in the second year. and he kept going on about dykes in holland or something. i wish he had spent less time talking about his hobbies and more about geography.

How come every thread on this board goes back to teaching. I think there are allot of folks with latent teaching issues. Possibly abused by a teacher in your past perhaps? Maybe you are suprised at how fond your memories of this abuse are? Maybe you just aspire to be a happy well adjusted teacher like poolie?
