Can you give me some ideas or links?

I quickly need some ideas or links for topics for a high school science research project. I need it to be Earth Science related. Any topic relating to Earth science will do. I need something by 10:30 am EDT on Octobr 3,2007. So I need it in about 15-20 minutes from now. Thanks.

Do something interesting, not just the same old crud everyone else has done. I collect rocks and have done so for years. An interesting and cool project to do is to do a study on the variences of the formations of quartz rocks. I will include some cool links so you can check it out.

( Quartz is easily found in rock piles most anywhere, and if you can find a dealer, small chunks of quartz are not very expensive. I would send you some of mine but I love them too much to part with. :o)

scroll down on the above link to get some GREAT scientific info on quartz

AWESOME site for scientific info that generalizes information about ‘Quartz’ (doesn’t break it all down just tells you about quartz in general) Would be a great way to open your project.

There’s this guy called Alfred Wegener. He created the continental drift theory which suggested that all the countries was once connected. Not sure if that really is earth science though. Or you can do something on volcanoes.
