Where are tektites found?
478111
Tektites are not found everywhere on the Earth. They are found in strewnfields; which are areas where the material has fallen upon the ground and the material is confined to the boundaries of the strewnfield. Tektites are found more or less randomly within the strewnfield. In the case of meteorite strewnfields the heavier fragments will be found at the farthest travel end of the dispersion ellipse. However, in the case of the largest strewnfield, (the Australasian strewnfield) the larger tektites are found to the north of the strewnfield. \n\nIn addition to the large forms found on the land, microtektites are recovered in cores of sediments taken from the oceans. This data helps to define the boundaries of the strewnfields in the areas covered by ocean waters. \n\nThere are four well established strewnfields on the Earth and some other locations where tektite glass or very similar glass is found. The strewnfields are the North American, The Moldavite, which is really two small strewnfield close to each other in Europe, The Ivory Coast, and The Australasian. \n\nDebate continues as to whether tektites are found on the same spot where they fell, or whether they have been transported. Many scientists insist that they are found close to where they fell because studies indicate being glass they break very fast in a river or stream or flood situation. Others strive to prove that they have been worked from other strata and redeposited. \n\nIt is however clear in some cases that they are found in essentially the spot they fell and in a specific layer or horizon in the ground.\n\nNorth American Strewnfield\nThe southeastern portion of the United States has two regions where tektites are found. The tektites from each location are quite distinct from each other. Texas is the area where the Bediasites are found. These are dark in color and often round with deep grooving. Georgia is as the name states the location of the Georgia Tektites. These are very translucent and green in color. \n\nOne Georgia Tektite was found on Martha's Vineyard however, the lack of others may indicate that it was taken there by man in the past. \n\nThe Moldavite Strewnfield\nThe Moldavite strewnfield is divided into two parts and the tektites from each of these parts are distinctive in color from each other. These areas are quite small by comparison to some of the other strewnfields. But, none the less great amounts of Moldavites have been found. The most prized are the deeply grooved and clear green pieces. The green Moldavites have been and continue to be used for stones in jewelry. \n\nIvory Coast Strewnfield\nThe western coast of Africa is the location of the Ivory Coast tektites. The strewnfield extends out into the Atlantic ocean for some distance based on microtektites recovered from cores of the sediments. These tektites are extremely rare because of the difficulty in recovering them from the forested areas. They are black in color and often have an egg shape or nearly spherical shape. \n\nAustralasian Strewnfield\nBy far the largest; the Australasian tektite area encompasses most of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, Southern China, Laos and Cambodia. It stretches across the ocean to include the islands of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaya and Java. It reaches far out into the Indian Ocean and south to the western side of Australia. Approximately one tenth of the Earth's surface is accounted part of the strewnfield. \n\nThe tektites are generally very dark in color, for the most part essentially black. Thin edges or broken parts will have a yellow or brown color when examined with back lighting. They have a wide range of forms. Teardrops, dumbbells, spheres, rods, discs and all types of irregular shapes. In Australia are found aerodynamic button shaped tektites and their cores that remain when they fly apart in the passage through the atmosphere. \n\nPlease refer to the ``Map of Tektite Distribution'' using the link on the mai

heh... are you referring to ecological endangered hotspots or hot spots under plates that cause volcanic activity?\n\nThere are... way to many ecological hot spots particularly in tropical areas in South America, Africa and South Asia.\n\nAs for hot spots associated with plate tectonics, there are many I'm sure but the Hawaiian Island chain is probably the biggest and longest.  Yellowstone wouldn't be a hot spot really, it's pretty close to a plate boundary and it's activity I would think is left over from this.  Hot spots are unusual for continental plates.  It seems like many island chains could have been formed by similar hot spots under ocean plates though.

First you have to find them.  They are very easy to\nfind in some places and difficult in others.  They\nare often found in clumps of moss, liverwort or\nlichen.  I have succeeded in culturing them in\nshallow glass dishes in aquatic fungus cultures.\nPut some water from a natural habitat in the dish\nwith some pieces of dead leaf or twig, and a couple of sesame seeds.  Aquatic fungi will grow\non the sesame seed and provide food for other\norganisms in the culture.  One such culture I made\nfrom leaf litter in Arizona mountains produced\nhundreds of tardigrades.  Add the tardigrades to\nthe culture after the fungus begins to grow.

The oldest rocks are in Cratons (larges pieces of old, cold, and stable continental crust). You found them in the inner part of large continents far away from subduction zones for example in  in South America the craton are located in Brazil and in parts of Argentina. But the oldest cratons are in Australia.

The Sand People.  Fearsome desert savages inhabiting the rocky Jundland Wastes, Tusken Raiders are the foremost reason Tatooine colonists do not wander far from their isolated communities. Extremely territorial and xenophobic, Tusken Raiders will attack with very little provocation. They show no allegiance to even their native world-mates, as these nomads have attacked Jawa scouting parties on occasion. They have even gathered numbers large enough to attack the outskirts of smaller towns like Anchorhead. \nCovered from head-to-foot in tattered rags and robes, Tusken Raiders -- or Sand People as they are also known -- brandish a deadly bladed club known as a gaderffii. They also carry projectile rifles with which to shoot at passing vehicles. The male of the species tend to be the aggressors. Females can be distinguished by their elaborate jeweled masks with eyeslits and torso-covering sand-shrouds. Tusken children wear unisex cowls and simple cloaks. \n\nFor transportation, Sand People have domesticated the hardy bantha -- a longhaired spiral-horned quadruped also found on Tatooine. These nomads purposely travel in single file, to conceal their numbers.

I believe all the naturally occurring elements found on earth can be found on other planets, for example samples from the surface of mars show that it is composed of basalt and granite, these are igneous rocks (come from volcanoes) that are very common on earth. Elements like iron, silicon, carbon, and  hyrogen are found in a variety of forms

"It is found in a number of minerals including allanite (also known as orthite), monazite, bastnasite, certie, and samarskite. Monazite and bastnasite are presently the two more important sources of cerium. Large deposits of monazite found on the beaches of Travancore, India, in river sands in Brazil, and deposits of allanite in the western United States, and bastnasite in Southern California will supply cerium, thorium, and the other rare-earth metals for many years to come.

Cytospora cankers usually are found on trees that have been damaged by cold temperatures or drought.  They can be seen on trunks and branches.

You can extract it from Phosphate rock.\n\nLarge deposits are located in China, Russia, Morocco, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Utah, and elsewhere.

You need a geological survey map showing what's underneath where you want to dig. You usually find clay in old river or glacier beds, especially where they ended, or old swamp beds. Clay can be on the surface, as it is in many parts of the world. You may not find clay at all in many places.

Salt crystals can, but Bultfonteinite is usually white. So that may be what you are looking for. I found a link for you with a pic so you can see if it is what you are refering to.\nThe website also has other crystals just in case that is not it, you should be able to find it there.
