| − | + | In the title text, {{w|gneiss}} (pronounced "nice") is a type of rock, and {{w|Butte (geology)|butte}} (rhymes with "cute") is a conspicuous isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top. "Gneiss butte" is a play on "nice butt". | |

| − | ;Rift : A result of spreading is that rocks break, forming vertical faults, and allowing regions to sink and form valleys. | + | ;Friction breccia: Breccia is a rock made of broken fragments of other rocks. When these fragments can be formed from the rubbing between rocks in a fault, it is a friction breccia. |
| − | ;Orogeny : | + | ;Flow cleavage:The crystals in a rock can be aligned by the plastic flow of a rock when it is hot. This causes the rock to split (cleave) along particular planes. |
| − | ;Thrust fault : | + | ;Rift:A result of spreading is that rocks break, forming vertical faults, and allowing regions to sink and form valleys. |
| + | ;Orogeny:A period of mountain forming. | ||
| + | ;Thrust fault: a sloping crack in the rocks at which one region of rocks is pushing another up. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So it seems that Megan tells Cueball to ignore the layers in the rock, as there is evidence that valley they are in is in fact a recent rift valley. It was formed in cracking following the lifting up of the surrounding rocks. | ||
