    Trimble Knob, located southwest of Monterey in Highland County, Virginia, is a conical hill composed of basalt, a volcanic rock, of Eocene (early Tertiary) age.It is the eroded remnant of what was an active volcano or diatreme that last erupted approximately 35 million years ago, making it one of the youngest volcanos on the east coast of North America.

  4. Mole Hill (Virginia) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_Hill_(Virginia)

    The basalt at Mole Hill (and other igneous dikes in the area) was originally thought to be of Paleozoic age by relative age dating using cross-cutting relationships. [1] In 1969, Fullagar and Bottino used K-Ar and Rb-Sr radiometric dating techniques to date rocks that they thought were temporally related to the Devonian Tioga Bentonite, but discovered that the rocks were actually a much ...

  5. Battle Mountain (Virginia) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Mountain_(Virginia)

    The volcano is composed of alkali feldspar granitic rock of the Robertson River Igneous Suite.This includes felsic complex material such as biotite, hornblende-biotite, magnetite, and alkali granitic rock including rhyolite on the eastern slopes of Battle Mountain [5] and the adjacent (and geologically related) Little Battle Mountain (elevation 937 feet).

  6. Geology of Virginia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Virginia

    The geology of Virginia began to form at least 1.8 billion years ago. The oldest rocks in the state were metamorphosed during the Grenville orogeny , a mountain-building event beginning 1.2 billion years ago in the Proterozoic , which obscured older rocks.

  7. Mount Rogers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rogers

    The Mount Rogers area contains a unique record of the geohistory of Virginia. There is evidence from the rocks that volcanoes were part of the landscape. Roughly 760 million years ago, rift-related (divergent) volcanoes erupted along the axis of what later became the Appalachians, and one remnant of that volcanic zone, with its volcanic rocks, still can be seen at Mount Rogers.

  9. Volcano plot (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano_plot_(statistics)

    A volcano plot is constructed by plotting the negative logarithm of the p value on the y axis (usually base 10). This results in data points with low p values (highly significant) appearing toward the top of the plot. The x axis is the logarithm of the fold change between the two conditions. The logarithm of the fold change is used so that ...
