How Plains and Lowlands are Formed. Plains are flat landform regions that are found around the edges of shield regions. Plains found along a coastal region are called lowlands. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands (where we live) are great for farming.he Rocky Mountains are great examples of Fold Mountains. They were formed millions of years ago (which is young for a mountain!) when the Pacific plate collided with the North American plate.
Nanoparticle titanium dioxide is a clearly toxic mineral which can be found as an additive and excipient in various foods, cosmetics, vitamins and drugs. Over 4 million tons of this pigmentary substance is consumed annually worldwide, making its way into such FDA-approved applications as skim milk.
Titanium is a transition metal which is very strong and light (4.4 gm/cm3). It has a high melting point (1800Â°C) and finds application in aircraft wings, particularly at points which are subjected to the high heat of exhaust. Titanium dioxide in powder form is very white and is used to advantage as a pigment in special paints and face powders. Titanium dioxide, TiO2, in crystalline form appears in the mineral rutile. It may be colored by small amounts of other metal oxides and has been used for gems. Titanium dioxide also makes up the minerals Brookite and anatase. Titanium and iron together form the oxides ilmenite, FeTiO3, and pseudobrookite, Fe2TiO5.
