The Many Meanders of the Jurua
November 14 | NASA Earth Observatory
Heavy sediment loads play a role in making the Jurua River one of the most sinuous rivers in the Amazon Basin. The Jurua emerges from highlands in east-central Peru, then winds its way through lowlands in Brazil. By the time it empties into the Amazon River near Fonte Boa, the river course spans more than 3000 kilometers (2,000 miles). But as the crow flies, the distance between the river*s source and mouth is only about 1000 kilometers (600 miles). Images from NASA*s Earth Observatory.

What is Frac Sand?
November 13 | Geology.com
Frac Sand: Close-up view of frac sand (on the right) and a typical sand of similar grain size (on the left). Notice how the frac sand has a more uniform grain size, nicely rounded grain shapes, and a uniform composition. It is also a very tough material that can resist compressive forces of up to several tons per square inch. Grains in this image are about 0.50 millimeter in size.
