Text Historical background
The first kimberlite in Finland was discovered in 1964 by Malmikaivos Oy, a private prospecting company, based in Luikonlanti in eastern Finland . The pipe was found during regional prospecting for base metals in the vicinity of the Luikonlanti copper mine, which was under development at the time. In ground magnetic mapping the body appeared as a strong circular anomaly which was interpreted to represent a vertical pipe of about one hectare in size. Till overburden was only two meters thick and in the trenching and drilling a strange dark rock was exposed. This unmetamorphosed rock looked very odd macroscopically as well as in thin section. Because there are a great number of lampophyric dikes in the area, the rock was connected to them although the possibility of it being a kimberlite was also considered. Since this body had no copper potential, the prospecting objective at the time, the discovery of this pipe was nearly forgotten.
Late in the 1970’s, during further base metal prospecting in the area surrounding the copper mine, glacial boulders of well preserved “almond rocks” were found. The name referred to the numerous white almond-shaped inclusions that were later proven to be altered peridotite xenoliths. Samples of both of these strange rocks were sent to diamond companies where they were correctly identified and found to contain microdiamonds. This naturally raised considerable interest toward Finland.

| Seventy years ago there were 100 000 tigers in the wild. Today there are not more than 8 000 left. In 1972 the World Wildlife Fund launched ‘Operation Tiger’ to save the tigers that remained. Eighteen tiger reserves have been created in India and three in Nepal.

| By the 1970s, hunters had killed almost all of the Arabian oryx. The WWF helped to capture the last thirty surviving oryx and send them to Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, where a herd f these rare animals has been built up. Other zoos and wildlife parks have helped, and the oryx has been reintroduced into its natural surroundings in Oman, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

| Tropical forests have supplied us with very many sorts of plants for food, medicine and industry. They could probably supply many more. They also reduce floods and troughs, keep water clean, and slow down the Greenhouse Effect. But the tropical forests are being destroyed to make room for things like farms, ranched, mines and hydroelectric dams. About 20 million hectares are lost each year – an area more than twice the size of Austria. WWF is working to protect and save the forests that are in encourage governments to think about the forests and their importance when giving international aid.

Fill in the gaps:
The minerals occur most commonly 29 a particular group of 30 rocks, formed far beneath the surface of the earth 31 high temperatures, and usually from liquid rock. Everyone is familiar with the phenomena of 32 . Volcano is a mountain having openings or vents in the earth's crust 33 which lava, cinders, water and gases pour 34 . The lava comes from beneath the surface, but much molten rock never sees the light of day. It is such lava, buried beneath the surface, 35 from rapid cooling 36 a layer of other rocks above, that cools and crystallizes 37 rocks, which contain the primary minerals.
Geologists have accumulated abundant (much) evidence that 38 surface conditions rocks are 39 easily altered. The process of 40 is called rock weathering.
