Topography

All Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of molten material known as magma.

Sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from the accumulation of sediment on the earth’s surface.

This can occur at or near the surface, at shallow depths, or deep in the earth’s crust.

Clastic rocks are made up of the fragments of weathered and eroded pieces of pre-existing rocks.

Igneous rocks which form at or very close to the earth’s surface are called volcanic rocks.

Metamorphic rocks form by the alteration of pre-existing rocks by pressure and or heat in the crust.

Igneous rocks which form at shallow depths in the earth are known as hypabyssal rocks.

The rocks reflect the amounts of heat and pressure and the original material present.

Igneous rocks which cool and solidify deep in the earths crust are called plutonic rocks.

Metamorphic rocks are classified according to their fabric (rock texture) and their mineralogy.

Uluru (Pitjantjatjara: Uluru), also known as Ayers Rock and officially gazetted as “Uluru / Ayers Rock”, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450 km (280 mi) by road. Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uluru and Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, are the two major features of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The local Anangu, the Pitjantjatjara people, call the landmark Uluru.

This word is a proper noun, with no further particular meaning in the Pitjantjatjara dialect, although it is used as a local family name by the senior Traditional Owners of Uluru. On 19 July 1873, the surveyor William Gosse sighted the landmark and named it Ayers Rock in honour of the then Chief Secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Since then, both names have been used. In 1993, a dual naming policy was adopted that allowed official names that consist of both the traditional Aboriginal name and the English name. On 15 December 1993, it was renamed “Ayers Rock / Uluru” and became the first official dual-named feature in the Northern Territory. The order of the dual names was officially reversed to “Uluru / Ayers Rock” on 6 November 2002 following a request from the Regional Tourism Association in Alice Springs. Uluru is one of Australia’s most recognisable natural landmarks. The sandstone formation stands 348 m (1,142 ft) high, rising 863 m (2,831 ft) above sea level with most of its bulk lying underground, and has a total circumference of 9.4 km (5.8 mi).

Both Uluru and the nearby Kata Tjuta formation have great cultural significance for the Anangu people, the traditional inhabitants of the area, who lead walking tours to inform visitors about the local flora and fauna, bush food and the Aboriginal dreamtime stories of the area. Uluru is notable for appearing to change colour at different times of the day and year, most notably when it glows red at dawn and sunset. Kata Tjuta, also called Mount Olga or the Olgas, lies 25 km (16 mi) west of Uluru. Special viewing areas have been constructed to give tourists the best views of both sites at dawn and dusk. Uluru is an inselberg, literally “island mountain”. An inselberg is a prominent isolated residual knob or hill that rises abruptly from and is surrounded by extensive and relatively flat erosion lowlands in a hot, dry region.

Uluru is also often referred to as a monolith, although this is a somewhat ambiguous term that is generally avoided by geologists. The remarkable feature of Uluru is its homogeneity and lack of jointing and parting at bedding surfaces, leading to the lack of development of scree slopes and soil. These characteristics led to its survival, while the surrounding rocks were eroded. For the purpose of mapping and describing the geological history of the area, geologists refer to the rock strata making up Uluru as the Mutitjulu Arkose, and it is one of many sedimentary formations filling the Amadeus Basin. Uluru is dominantly composed of coarse-grained arkose (a type of sandstone characterized by an abundance of feldspar) and some conglomerate. Average composition is 50% feldspar, 25–35% quartz and up to 25% rock fragments; most feldspar is K-feldspar with only minor plagioclase as subrounded grains and highly altered inclusions within K-feldspar. The grains are typically 2–4 millimetres (0.079–0.157 in) in diameter, and are angular to subangular; the finer sandstone is well sorted, with sorting decreasing with increasing grain size.

Information

About Boulder Mono

Boulder Mono is a monospaced typeface designed around a playful geometric system with circles and squares at its essence. The design employs a systemised appropriation of traditional sans serif conventions that results in a type made of pure form and a sometimes surprising structure.

Letter and word combinations are defined by the contrasting anatomy of perfect circles and hard corners that appear in unconventional relationships. Many letters that are usually rounded are square instead, and many typically angled forms are circular.

Boulder Mono was created to have a shapely, energetic feel. At large sizes the type is fluid and geometric. The tone is clean and visually arresting. When set as text, the type presents a typical monospaced rhythm, offset by a raw and unique reading atmosphere.

The ten style Boulder Mono family consists of a broad range of weights and features split-style italics that creates a visually dynamic emphasis. The split italic takes advantage of the geometric form as letters are divided and offset on key structural points.

Usage notes

We are committed to the highest levels of font production. Boulder Mono has been professionally engineered to work seamlessly across all platforms and to perform exceptionally in print and on screen. The OpenType fonts contain a multitude of convenient features, such as automated case-sensitive punctuation and symbols, alternate characters and broad Latin-based language support to enhance your requirements.

While Boulder Mono is by no means a traditional text face, it is a very legible and useful typeface for text when used appropriately. Dynamic and structural at large sizes, Boulder Mono is exceptionally legible at small sizes.

Boulder Mono has been designed so that the geometric styles simulate conventional letterforms when viewed at small sizes. Settings at 12pt and less will appear more fluid and traditionally legible than larger sizes.

The split forms of the italics are particularly idiosyncratic at large sizes. The letterforms are playful and deconstructed. However, when used at small sizes the italics compress to appear oblique, creating a more typical italic feel.
