Geology plays a significant role in the wine and beer making process. Not only do the types of soils in which the hops and grapes are grown impact their flavor, but sometimes geology can also play a more direct role. Beer and wine are usually filtered before aging, and one of the more popular filtration materials is a mineral known as diatomite.

To allow the grapevine to concentrate its resources more effectively, sometimes certain grapes are removed in a pruning process. This allows the remaining grapes to receive more of the plant’s energy and resources.

The Washington Monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, commemorates the first president of the United States. It is the tallest stone structure, and is made of two kinds of marble due to a gap in funding. The monument was damaged in the 2011 Virginia earthquake, but has since been repaired.
