A-CN-K (Al2O3- (CaO*+Na2O)-K2O) diagram A–CN–K ternary plot is useful tool to evaluate weathering trends in the source rock and to estimate K-metasomatism [Nesbitt and Young (1982‚ 1984); Fedo et al.‚ 1995]. The ideal weathering lines are parallel to A-CN boundary because the removal rates of Na and Ca from plagioclase are greater than the removal rate of K from k-feldspars. On the A–CN–K ternary plot (Fig.6.16) the samples are plotted more or less close to A - K boundary indicating that removal

Hornfels DEFINITION Hornfels is a very fine-grained metamorphosed shale rock‚ usually gray to black in color. Mineral composition in variable but is usually made up of some combination of equidimensional mosaic of quartz or calcite along with inequidimensional sheet silicates in random orientation or sometimes containing andalusite porphyroblasts. OCCURANCE Hornfels forms when shale rocks come into contact with a hot igneous intrusion body at lower pressures and at the equilibrium temperature

Bowens Reaction Series Mineral occurrence in igneous rock is most simply explained by Bowen’s reaction series. Norman Levi Bowen discovered the series of reactions while studying the process of crystallizing minerals in Washington‚ D.C. in 1928. In order to best express his findings to his scientific brethren‚ Bowen created a visual display based on when and under what conditions each silicate mineral crystallized. This is extremely important to geologists because it helps them to easily understand

Ancient geography The Cassiterides‚ meaning Tin Islands (from the Greek word for tin: Κασσίτερος/Kassiteros)‚ are an ancient geographical name of islands that were regarded as situated somewhere near the west coasts of Europe. The traditional assumption‚ ignoring Strabo‚ is that Cassiterides refer to Great Britain‚ based on the significant tin deposits in Cornwall. Herodotus (430 BC) had only dimly heard of the Cassiterides‚ "from which we are said to have our tin‚" but did not discount the islands

The 8 most common elements in the earth’s crust are Oxygen‚ Silicon‚ Aluminum‚ Iron‚ Calcium‚ Sodium‚ Potassium‚ & Magnesium. They compose 98.5% of the total crust. A mineral occurs naturally‚ is a soli‚ inorganic‚ has chemical composition and a crystalline structure. Native minerals are single elements. Compounds are 2 or more. There are more compound than native. You can identify minerals by color‚ streak‚ luster‚ hardness‚ cleavage‚ and fracture. Minerals form by magma erupting and

EFFECT OF JOINT ROUGHNESS ON SHEAR STRENGTH OF JOINT IN GRANITE Introduction Shear strength is the extreme shear strength where a material can support before rapture. Based on Lama and Vutukuri (1978)[1]‚ it is one of the critical aspects used for designing purpose. There is no doubt that joint is a main factor that leads to failure in every rocks type including granite. In granite‚ shear strength is one of the main characteristic that needs to be determined in order to classify its strength and
