Please DO NOT use your first OR last name on the map. Dear Teachers, Students, Friends and Genealogy Researchers, Unfortunately, my website was inaccessible for several years after my hosting company suddenly went out of business. I have given J. Florian permission to re-launch my website as part of her Washington County PA websites. I originally designed these pages to provide the basic information needed to identify common rocks and minerals found in Pennsylvania and especially in SW PA. Judith Florian has added more about geography and the historical component of SW PA and how geography and geology relate to people. You will find facts about:
Pennsylvania Geology Earthquakes (specific to Pennsylvania) Washington County PA Faults and Earthquakes Chart of Earthquakes occurring in or affecting PA Volcanoes - do they affect Pennsylvania?
