  • 2. The Tablelands Gros Morne National Park
    The mantle is a layer inside a terrestrial planet and some other rocky planetary bodies. For a mantle to form, the planetary body must be large enough to have undergone the process of planetary differentiation by density. The mantle is bounded on the bottom by the planetary core and on top by the crust. The terrestrial planets , the Moon, two of Jupiter's moons and the asteroid Vesta each has a mantle made of silicate rock. Interpretation of spacecraft data suggests that at least two other moons of Jupiter , as well as Titan and Triton, each have a mantle made of ice or other solid volatile substances.

The glaciers then came together in the middle part of the Bay and continued to push on out to the Ocean. Mafic rock underlies the western shores of Bonne Bay, and clastic sedimentary rock is found on the ...

  • 15. Western Brook Pond Gros Morne National Park
    The Western Brook Pond is a Canadian fjord or lake located in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland. It is in the Long Range Mountains, the most northern section of the Appalachian Mountains. It is surrounded by steep rock walls 600 m high., having been carved from the surrounding plateau by glaciers. After the glaciers melted, the land rebounded and the fjord was cut off from the sea. Salty water was eventually flushed from the fjord leaving it fresh. The catchment area is composed of igneous rock with relatively thin soil, so the waters feeding Western Brook Pond are low in nutrients and the lake is classified as ultraoligotrophic. It is fed by Stag Brook at the extreme eastern end of the lake and by numerous waterfalls cascading from the plateau above....
