In our igneous and metamorphic petrology class, students investigated specific topics. This includes geophysics, rifting, volcanology, geochemistry, geomorphology, structural geology, and petrology. As a class, our goals are to develop an understanding of the geological aspects of the PVF and post this information on the Internet through Wikipedia. Summaries of the listed topics will be posted in Wikipedia along with links and a complete bibliography of sources the rift show that it is still active, further impacting the El Paso and surrounding area. Since the PVF is able to shape the way we live here in El Paso with its geologic processes, it is important to understand its basic features, properties and processes.
