Subsequent periods of water circulation and crystallization may follow forming the characteristic layers of cr ystals. Geodes are found in many parts of the world. One well-known type found in Uruguay is called hydrolite or water stone because it contains quartz crystals left when water containing silica in solution evaporated.

Geographic information systems Category Scientific disciplines Geographic information systems GIS originated primarily from efforts to manage natural resources and analyze environmental issues. In recent years advances in computing technology and the development of large digital databases have made GIS a powerful tool for analyzing the natural environment. GIS is particularly suited to support multidisciplinar y analyses of natural systems at a variety of scales. Background Although geographic information systems GIS scientists and practitioners may define GIS in broader terms the initials are commonly used to refer to the computer software and peripheral technologies that are used to collect manipulate analyze and visualize geographic information. While many of the concepts that underpin GIS have a long history in academic disciplines such as cartography geography and planning GIS computer software largely originated in the 1960 s with academic and government initiatives to study how computers could be used to make maps and .
