------------------------------------------------- The world of Geology has been brought to a new age of observation‚ interpretation and reasoning with the arrival of Sequence Stratigraphy. What is Sequence Stratigraphy? What is its purpose? How does it serve Geology? Sequence stratigraphy is uniquely focused on analyzing changes in facies and geometric character of strata and identification of key surfaces to determine the

mining operation is its geology. Geology can be classified as either physical or historical geology. Physical geology is the study of Earth materials‚ operating as minerals and rocks‚ as well as the processes operating within Earth and on its surface (Monroe‚ 2001). Geology influences the strength of the rocks‚ the ability to process the given deposit with existing processing techniques and stability of excavation made in the mineral deposit. This emphasizes the importance of geology to mining operations

know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic Field models are used in navigations‚ Geophysical Surveys‚ Oil production and in scientific studies ranging from the upper atmosphere to the earth’s deep interior. The math which is required with geology can be written down as Algebra‚ Geometry‚ trigonometry‚ Calculus‚ Linear Algebra

material‚ a definition that is different from the way we defined a mineral back in Chapter 2. Here the word mineral can be any substance that comes from the Earth. Finding and exploiting mineral deposits requires the application of the principles of geology that you have learned throughout this course. Some minerals are used as they are found in the ground‚ i.e. they require no further processing or very little processing. For example - gemstones‚ sand‚ gravel‚ and salt (halite). Most minerals must be
