Petalite Petalite is an extensively mined mineral in some locations (e.g., Bikita, Zimbabwe, Namibia) and is composed of lithium, aluminum, silica and oxygen (LiAl(Si4O10)) and is common in pegmatites (late-stage …

In the previous video, you learned about basic principles of rock deformation. In this article, we will discuss geological structures that results from rock deformation. They influence whole mountain ranges, …

Several estimations of the abundance of elements in Earth’s crust have been made. The abundances of elements in the crust vary because of the heterogeneity of geological processes and the …

The formation of magmatic ore deposits follows the principles of magmatic differentiation that you learned about in the video on rock types and the rock cycle. During the ascend of …

In this video, Leslie will tell you about the large scale geological processes that are happening under our feet.

In this article you are going to learn about the origin of metals. To do that, we need to go back to the early beginning of our solar system. All …

Earlier in this activity you learned about stratigraphy and Steno’s four laws of stratigraphy. Now you are going to learn how geologists document stratigraphic layers so they can be applied …

Have you ever picked up a beautiful rock, looked closely at it and wondered what it is? Maybe you took a picture of it with your mobile and posted the …
