MINERALS 5 CHARACTERISTICS OF A MINERAL: 1)Naturally Occuring; 2) Be a colid; 3) Have an orderly crystalline structure; 4) have a definite chemical composition; 5) generally be inorganic Which are not classified as Minierals & Why: Gold‚ Water‚ Synthetic Diamonds‚ Ice & Wood: Gold-YES – naturally occurring; Synthetic Diamond: NO – Manmade; Water: NO – liquid state‚ only a solid material can be considered a mineral – in it’s naturally occurring ice state it is a solid and therefore a mineral;

of the formation of the metamorphic rocks is the tectonic process like the continental collision which leads to the horizontal pressure‚ distortion and friction. Metamorphic rocks can also be formed while any rock gets heated up by the invasion of Magma from the interior part of the Earth. Minerals which can be found in the metamorphic rocks: Due to the high pressure and high temperature‚ minerals are usually found in the metamorphic rocks. The minerals are known as the index minerals and it includes:

and events that at one point affected both the Moon and Earth can now only be found on Earth. The Earth and Moon are formed with the same materials‚ just with different amounts. The Moon contains no life in any shape or form. We also discovered a magma ocean on the Moon and other geographical features and their formations. 837.87 pounds of of lunar rocks were brought back to Earth. The rocks range from 3.2 billion years all the way two 4.6 billion years. Even though NASA had plans of continuing

Katla has erupted in the past right after “Ejya” which scientists suggest that hidden underground fissures could link these two volcanoes. With antennas and satellite signals scientist discovered that Katla’s magma chamber is inflating which means that is building towards an eruption. If Katla erupts today the devastation could be similar to the effects of “Ejya”‚ Laki and Hekla combined and the amount of sulfur produce would be worst. Iceland’s volcanic eruptions

composition depends on how old the beach is. For instance‚ a new island beach in Hawaii will most likely have a high amount of quartz that derives from granite‚ because Hawaii is forming through mainly volcanoes. This gives a hint‚ especially since magma makes granite and granite has the mineral composition of quartz. Minerals like feldspar‚ that may be biogenous‚ might not be

Yellowstone National Park is a place of many wonders and interesting topics. It is located in Northwestern Wyoming with parts in Idaho and Montana. Yellowstone was the very first national park in the United States of America‚ being signed into law by former president Ulysses S Grant in 1872. The park cover around 3‚450 square miles of land‚ and is one of the largest state parks in the world. The features such as Geysers‚ Supervolcano‚ and wildlife are very hot topics. Wildlife is a huge part of the

is finding the best hydrothermal place. As we know‚ if we want to find big resources of water‚ wind‚ sun‚ etc. we need to go to the areas were normally we can find the resource. In this case‚ geothermal power is primarily available where the hot magma finds its way close to the surface and heats ground water. But this geothermal spots don’t occur everywhere‚ they are located‚ for example‚ in USA in Western States‚ Alaska‚ and Hawaii. The big key to universal use of geothermal resources

volcanic cones: Kibo (5895 metres)‚ Mawenzi (5149 metres) & Shira (3962 metres). Volcanic conditions Although it’s dormant‚ Kilimanjaro has fumarole (an opening in the earths crust) that emits gasses in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Molten magma is just 400 metres below the summit crater. A number of landslides have occurred in the past creating an area called the Western Breech. The last known eruption was approximately 360 000 years ago‚ but the most recent volcanic activity took place approximately

The Naica mines are naturally occurring caves‚ located in Chihuahua‚ Mexico. The Naica mines are working mines rich in lead‚ zinc‚ and silver‚ which are owned by Mexico’s largest lead producer‚ Industrias Penoles. Within the Naica mines are caves filled with giant selenite crystals‚ discovered by miner brothers‚ Juan and Pedro Sanchez in 2000. The caves were discovered while drilling through the Naica fault during a mining expedition. The giant crystal caves are in the shape of a horseshoe and have
