BATU PERMATA

Jenis-jenis batu permata:
-agate

-amethyst

-cat's eye

-emerald

-lapis lazuli

-moonstone

-opal

-peridot

-quartz

-ruby

-rutile quartz

-sapphire

-tiger eyes

-topaz

-tourmaline

-zircon

Batu permata merupakan sejenis mineral yang didapati dari dalam bumi yang diproses untuk dijadikan barang kemas/perhiasan wanita. Batu permata diklasifikasikan berdasarkan Skala Mohr. Skala kekerasan mineral Mohr ini mengelaskan sesuatu bahan mineral berdasarkan kemampuannya untuk menggores mineral yang lain.

Batu yang paling keras:

Berlian merupakan batu yang paling keras di dunia. Disebabkan berada pada skala teratas dalam Skala Mohr, berlian digunakan untuk pelbagai kegunaan memotong, menggerudi dan mengilap. Berlian juga popular digunakan sebagai perhiasan perkahwinan kerana ianya tahan calar dan berharga mahal. Sebenarnya, berlian juga mempunyai pelbagai warna. Berlian berwarna adalah disebabkan mempunyai bendasing atau kecacatan struktur yang menyebabkan pewarnaan manakala berlian tulen adalah tidak berwarna atau jernih.

Recycle, Reuse, Reduse (3R)

Panitia Geografi SMK Taman Tuanku Jaafar menerapkan konsep kitar semula dalam penggunaan bahan terbuang di persekitaran sekolah. Antara barangan yang digunapakai semula ialah kotak kertas A4 Indah Kiat, botol plastik, botol kaca, bekas aiskrim dan kertas. Sesetengah barangan yang dikitar semula dijual untuk menambah tabung persatuan Geografi.

Konsep

Kitar semula ialah proses mengolah semula bahan buangan untuk menghasilkan barangan yang baru. Kitar semula dapat mengurangkan bahan buangan, mengurangkan penggunaan bahan mentah baru, mengurangkan penggunaan tenaga, pencemaran udara ( dari pembakaran ), dan pencemaran air ( dari tapak perlupusan ) dan mengurangkan pengeluaran gas rumah hijau berbanding penghasilan barang baru dari bahan mentah. Kitar semula adalah komponen utama bagi pengurusan bahan buangan moden dan komponen ketiga bagi "pengurangan pembaziran, guna semula, kitar semula dan hirarki buangan ".

Kepentingan kitar Semula Kepada kita dan alam sekitar:

Bahan-bahan Kitar Semula

Kertas

Surat khabar, kertas-kertas dari pejabat, kertas-kertas dari pencetak, majalah dan risalah adalah bahan-bahan yang boleh dikitar semula. Kumpulkan item-item tadi di mana sahaja anda berada dan cuba asingkan kertas-kertas tadi mengikut gred. (Klik pada laman gred kertas)

Plastik

Terlalu banyak plastik boleh dikitar semula. Semuanya dari kategori bekas-bekas minuman, botol-botol sabun, bekas makanan, pembalut makanan, bekas aiskrim dan banyak lagi boleh dikitar semula

Kertas kadbod keras

Barangan elektrik ataupun perabot yang dibeli biasanya dibungkus dengan kotak kadbod yang besar dan ramai orang tidak tahu apa yang perlu dibuat terhadap kotak-kotak tersebut lalu dibuang begitu sahaja. Apa kata kalau anda mengitar semula kotak-kotak tersebut daripada membuangnya begitu sahaja.

Kaca

Bekas-bekas jem dan bekas-bekas makanan sesetengahnya masih dipekkan dalam botol. Anda boleh kitar semula botol-botol tersebut ataupun gunakanya semula untuk menyimpan makanan lain.

Pakaian

Pakaian-pakaian lama boleh diguna semula atau didermakan kepada badan kebajikan. Cara ini dapat menjimatkan ruang dan tempat dan memberi bantuan kepada mereka yang memerlukannya.

Tahukah Anda?
2 tin minuman yang dikitar semula dapat menjimatkan tenaga untuk menghidupkan televisyen selama 6 jam.

2 botol kaca yang dikitar semula dapat menjimatkan tenaga untuk menghidupkan komputer selama 50 minit.

2 botol plastik yang dikitar semula dapat menjimatkan tenaga untuk menghidupkan mentol lampu 120-watt selama 6 jam.

70% tenaga dapat dikurangkan dengan mengitar semula kertas berbanding dengan membuatnya dari bahan mentah.

Sebanyak 70% sampah yang dibuang boleh dikitar semula.

Tenaga yang tidak dilepaskan dari tong sampah biasa setiap tahun boleh menghidupkan televisyen selama 5000 jam.

Secara puratanya, 20% dari wang yang kita gunakan untuk membeli barang ialah bayaran untuk pembungkusnya yang akhirnya menjadi sampah.

60% sampah dari tong sampah biasa boleh digunakan untuk membuat baja.

75% bahagian kenderaan boleh dikitar semula.

Apabila sampah dikitar semula, ia akan menjadi produk yang baru, ia tidak akan dilupuskan di tapak pelupusan sampah atau mesin pembakar. Jadi, penggunaan ruang tanah dapat dijimatkan dan dapat mengurangkan pencemaran udara

Terima Kasih Cikgu.....

Belum sempat setahun mencurahkan khidmat bersama Panitia Geografi, atas dasar 'Saya Yang Menurut Perintah' maka pihak kami telah kehilangan seorang guru yang berwibawa iaitu Encik Ganavathy.

Walaupun berpindah ke SMK Taman Tuanku Jaafar mulai Januari lepas atas tiket Bahasa Tamil, tetapi dedikasi beliau terserlah kerana sanggup mengajar mata pelajaran yang belum pernah diajar sebelumnya iaitu Geografi. Sebagai seorang guru, beliau sentiasa memperbaiki kelemahan diri demi menjamin semua anak didiknya cemerlang dalam menimba ilmu.

Pihak Panitia Geografi mengucapkan berbanyak-banyak terima kasih atas segala jerih perih En Ganavathy semasa memberi tunjuk ajar kepada pelajar SMK Taman Tuanku Jaafar dan menyumbangkan sebanyak mungkin idea demi memajukan panitia ini.

Lokasi Pelik Dunia

Namaskar Pass, Iceland ~ Pintu Masuk Neraka

Namaskar Pass, Iceland

The famous Namaskar pass which is located near the North of beautiful Lake Myvatn is also considered as one of the wonders of the world, and is one such place that you must surely visit when in Iceland.

Situated at a height of 410 m in the famous Mount. Namafjall, this pass has managed to derive its name based on the 19^th century due to sulfur recovery from this mountain. One of the best ways to reach to the famous pass certainly is to try and take route No. 1 of the Ring road that is located between the Mynav and the Egilssta. There is also another route which is called as the Serpentine routes which you can take from the Reykjahli, that is situated at least 5 Kms away. Lake Myvatn is one place that is also looked up as most famous resort area of Iceland and can be reached just within 45 minutes from the nearest town. So, once you have managed to reach Hinauffahrt, you may immediately get a nice view of the Muckensee and the Jar-ba-sholar, which is also a famous volcanic crater and covers the Jar-bo-in lagoon right behind it.

Victoria Dry Valley, Antartika

Richat Structure, Gurun Sahara ~ Bermata Lembu

Richat Structure, Gurun Sahara ~ Bermata Lembu

This prominent circular feature, known as the Richat Structure, in the Sahara desert of Mauritania is often noted by astronauts because it forms a conspicuous 50-kilometer-wide (30-mile-wide) bull’s-eye on the otherwise rather featureless expanse of the desert. Initially mistaken for a possible impact crater, it is now known to be an eroded circular anticline (structural dome) of layered sedimentary rocks.

Extensive sand dunes occur in this region and the interaction of bedrock topography, wind, and moving sand is evident in this scene. Note especially how the dune field ends abruptly short of the cliffs at the far right as wind from the northeast (lower right) apparently funnels around the cliff point, sweeping clean areas near the base of the cliff. Note also the small isolated peak within the dune field. That peak captures some sand on its windward side, but mostly deflects the wind and sand around its sides, creating a sand-barren streak that continues far downwind.

Pamukkale, Turki ~ Telaga Air Panas Tergantung

Pamukkale, Turki ~ Telaga Air Panas Tergantung

Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural site and attraction in south-western Turkey in the Denizli Province. The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white “castle” which is in total about 2700 meters long and 160m high. It can be seen from a great distance, eg. when driving down the hills on the opposite side of the valley to the town of Denizli, which is 20 km away. Pamukkale is located in Turkey’s Inner Aegean region, in the Maeander River valley, which enjoys a temperate climate over the greater part of the year. The tectonic movements that took place in the fault depression of the Menderes river basin did not only cause frequent earthquakes, but also gave rise to the emergence of a number of very hot springs, and it is the water from one of these springs, with its large mineral content, chalk in particular, that created Pamukkale. Apart of some radioactive material, the water contains large amounts of hydrogen carbonate and calcium, which leads to the precipitation of calcium carbonate. The effect of this natural phenomenon leaves thick white layers of limestone and travertine cascading down the mountain slope, making the area look like a fortress of cotton or a frozen waterfall.

Darvaz, Uzbekistan ~ Pintu Neraka

Darvaz, Uzbekistan ~ Pintu Neraka

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there

Socotra Island, Yaman

Socotra Island, Yaman

When visiting this amazing landscape, you cant help but to think you’ve been transported to a different planet completely. This Island is teaming with 700 extremely rare flora and fauna. Socotra Island is located in the Indian Ocean 250 km from Somalia and 340 km from Yemen. The glorious tree’s from this island have been preserved through the long geological isolation,with some varieties being 20 million years old! Perhaps one the most striking plants on this island would have to be the Dragons Blood tree, with a shape resembling an umbrella. Its red sap was the “dragons blood” of the ancients who lived there, in which they used as medicine and dye, and today used as paint and varnish. Other endmeic plants on this island would be the huge succulent tree Dorstenia gigas, the cucumber tree Dendrosicyos, and the rare Socotran pomegranate. Bats are the only mammals native to Socotra. There is also a concern that if goats are to ever be introduced to the island, they may eat the already endangered plant life. (Source:www.abovetopsecret.com/forum)

Bisti Badlands, New Mexico ~ Tugu Peringatan Dinasour

Bisti Badlands, New Mexico ~ Tugu Peringatan Dinasour

The word Bisti (actually up-ta-hie ) is from the language of the Navajo Indians and means as bad country (English Badlands). And indeed, at first sight, one could really come to this conclusion. The landscape is barren, dominated by myriad colored clay hills and almost completely without vegetation. Apart from a few tufts of grass growing here and no nothing. In no area I know the expression matches moon landscape better than theBisti Badlands . Everywhere you can find the most remarkable structures of stone and clay, and nowhere more than here hoodoos. Instinctively one feels in the primeval Earth back who, when even the dinosaurs populated the planet. Fossils of all kinds can be seen here, but mainly petrified wood.With luck, you will even find fossilized bones. Wandering through the Bisti'slandscape is a rapidly aware of the uniqueness. By the absolute silence and seclusion, this impression is also reinforced. Even if one or two cars are at the trailhead, we will take out almost anyone here. The area is just too big and the many hills quite complex. The whole area is rich in mineral resources, especially fossil fuels. The coal here is often directly at the surface. In many places undergo several meters thick black layers of the colored badlands . Fortunately, at least a portion of the region (18,000 ha) as Bisti / De-Na-Zin Wilderness under protection, so that a commercial use is expressly prohibited now. (Currently) only a few people find their way to this region, as the visitor flow can not be over-regulated and permits.

Before I finish the general part and I dedicate the actual trips, even a few words regarding the pronunciation of the word Bisti Wilderness . Language's genius will probably know me that's new: The word wilderness , in contrast to the adjective wild , non W an lderness , but W i lderness pronounced. InBisti are the ghosts: Are i or Are an even though it on the official BLM site very clear Are egg is called. Who wants to be sure it speaks Indian (see above) and is therefore probably correct.
