Relation of Structural Geology With Other Branches of Geology
Structural geology is a branch of geology that deals with the structural deformation, causes, and distribution of these structural features with geography. Structural geology deals with fold, fault, unconformity, cleavage, schistosity, lineation. And their causes,...
Mechanical Principles – Force, Pressure, Stress, Strain
Mechanical principles describe the rock's physical properties and deformation causes. In structural geology, the deformation causes of rocks and their properties are significant. Some mandatory types of mechanical principle as follows: ForcePressureStressStrain...
Understanding Structural Geology
Structural geology is concerned with rock deformation on both a big and microscopic scale. Its research ranges from submicroscopic crystal lattice flaws to fault formations and fold systems in the Earth's crust. Structural geology advanced significantly in the first...
Physical Properties of Rocks and Minerals
The study of rock deformation needs knowledge of the physical properties of rock about deformation. These properties are concerned either with elastic or with plastic deformation or with rupture. Table of Content Elastic propertiesPlastic propertiesRuptureBrittle...
Principles of Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy is the branch of geology that sheds light on strata formation, composition, distribution, and succession. Stratigraphy is concerned with the description, organization, and classification of stratified rock. In addition, it is the study of temporal...
Types of Minerals
Before we learn about mineral types, we must know what minerals are. There are a few characteristics before we identify or call a mineral. Characteristics are: Naturally Occurring - Substances produced in the lab or the industry are not...
Fossil
What is fossil.Where are fossils found.Types of fossils.Conditions of fossilization.Fossilization process. What is a fossil? Any remains, trace, or imprint of a plant or animal that has been preserved in the earth's crust (mainly sedimentary rock) since some past...
What is an ore?
Ore is a naturally occurring sediment or rock deposit that contains one or two or more number of economically valuable minerals. E.g. Hematite, Magnetite, Basalt etc. The ore needs to find first, then extracted from the earth through mining. The concentration of...
What is Economic Geology
Economic Geology is a branch of geology that deals with Economic Mineral Deposits. Also, deals with the genesis, mode of occurrence, geological and geographical distribution, richness, exploration. Heinrich Holland is a scientist who made the best contributions...
