Hopewell Rocks are rock formations located at the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy near Hopewell Cape Bedrock types range from 1 billion to 200 million years old. Much of the bedrock in the west and north derives from ocean deposits in the Ordovician that were subject to folding and igneous intrusion and that were eventually covered with lava during the Paleozoic peaking during the Acadian orogeny During the Carboniferous era about 340 million years ago New Brunswick was in the Maritimes Basin a sedimentary basin near the equator Sediments brought by rivers from surrounding highlands accumulated there; after being compressed they produced the Albert oil shales of southern New Brunswick Eventually sea water from the Panthalassic Ocean invaded the basin forming the Windsor Sea Once this receded conglomerates sandstones and shales accumulated the rust colour of these was caused by the oxidation of iron in the beds between wet and dry periods. Such late carboniferous rock formed the Hopewell Rocks which have been shaped by the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy In the early Triassic as Pangea drifted north it was rent apart forming the rift valley that is the Bay of Fundy Magma pushed up through the cracks forming basalt columns on Grand Manan Topography. Devices used to lock a part of the vehicle necessary in its operation such as the wheel steering wheel or brake pedal a commonly used device of this kind is the steering-wheel lock (also known as a crook lock or club lock) Immobilisers allow the vehicle to start only if a key containing the correct chip is present in the ignition These work by locking the steering wheel and disabling the ignition Hidden kill switches cut electric current to the ignition coil fuel pump or other system to frustrate or slow down a thief Deterrents tell the thief they are more likely to get caught if the vehicle is stolen These include:, Brock Green tick sign on a school's front lawn $19,000 See also: List of census divisions of Ontario Geography of Canada and List of parks and protected areas of Ontario.
