Requisitos

1

Tener la especialidad de Geología o Mineralogía.

Véase Geología para consejos e instrucciones.

Véase Mineralogía para consejos e instrucciones.

2

Tener la especialidad de Geocaching.

Véase Geocaching para consejos e instrucciones.

3

Explicar brevemente la diferencia entre la formación rocosa sedimentaria, ígnea y metamórfica. Dar ejemplos de tipos de rocas/minerales en cada categoría.

Sedimentary rocks

are those created by layers of silt, sand or clay that are laid down by rain, water, or wind. Examples of sedimentary rocks include limestone, siltstone, and dolostone.

Igneous rocks

are those created by heat such as through the volcanic process. Examples of igneous rocks include pumic and obsidian

Metamorphic rocks

undergo changes after they are originally created. For example igneous rocks may undergo dramatic heat change or pressure. Examples of these rocks include most minerals and granite.

4

Explicar cómo el agua y el viento son las influencias principales en el cambio de la geología de una región o área. Dar ejemplos de su estado o región.

Water and wind both are erosion and weathering factors. Towers, arches, valleys, and the dramatic views of layers of the geologic column are all examples of water and wind. Weathering of course has both mechanical and chemical components, though wind and water are primarily mechanical, when joined with organic forces, acid rain, and ice/snow can also result in chemical weathering.

5

Hacer una de las siguientes individualmente o con un grupo pequeño.

5a

Visitar y registrar en Geocaching.com cinco o más earthcaches.

5b

Visitar y registrar en Geocaching.com tres tipos de earthcaches (de la lista a continuación):

List: Mineral/fossil Site, mining site, historical site, hydrological feature, geomorphological feature, river feature, cave/karst feature, coastal feature, erosional feature, fault/fold feature, sedimentary feature, metamorphic feature, igneous feature, glacial feature, other feature.

---

Earthcache.org contains a list of earthcaches that are classified by these terms. Not all earthcaches are currently classified. However, the terms are rather self-explanatory and once you view the descriptions for several earthcaches, it will be easy to see which feature they most closely classify to. An earthcache can only qualify for one classification for purposes of this honor.

5c

Visitar y registrar en Geocaching.com tres o más earthcaches en dos estados/provincias/países.

This requirement qualifies you to receive the Bronze Earthcache Master award from earthcache.org

6

Dar un informe a un instructor o grupo acerca de las cosas que aprendió/experiencias al completar los requisitos de actividad de esta especialidad. Puede utilizar el software de presentación, fotos u otros medios de presentación como parte de su informe.

Here you get to share what you learned in this honor. Have fun.

7

Leer la historia de la Creación en Génesis 1:1-2:3.

You can read the story online here Genesis 1:1-2:3.

8

Discutir con un instructor, pastor o líder juvenil calificado cómo los cristianos creacionistas entienden la formación de la tierra en seis días literales de creación. Puede contrastar esta perspectiva con la perspectiva evolucionista si es necesario.

Discussion could include such factors as a pre-existent “without form and void” mass of rock that was simply waiting for God’s creative action; God’s ability to “instantly age” animals and humans, so likely rocks as well. Great resources include the Geoscience Research Institute, as well as many “Intelligent Design” articles and even children’s books available in print and online.

It may make a lot of sense to combine this discussion with the discussion required in the advanced version of the honor. While you must have earned the basic honor to complete the advanced honor you can definitely work on all the requirements together.
