Manganese concentrations in the seafloor are particularly well developed in deep, calm waters far from continental margins and active volcanic ridges. Manganese deposits form in ocean basins that receive little sediment that would otherwise bury them. Such areas include abyssal plains and elevated areas of the seabed, such as seamounts and isolated shallow shoals. Potential … Read more
A geographic information system (GIS) is a systematic collection of hardware, software, and data designed to store, process, analyze, query, and display information for decision-making and accurate analysis of spatial data.
Magma definition Magma is naturally occurring molten or semi-molten rock material, generated within the Earth from which igneous rocks are derived through solidification and related processes. Magma is found beneath the surface of the Earth. Magma is typically composed of silicate minerals such as feldspar, mica, and quartz, as well as various dissolved gases, such … Read more
What is a tsunami? A tsunami is a large and powerful ocean wave that is caused by a sudden disturbance, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption under the sea, or underwater landslide. When an earthquake or other event disrupts the ocean floor, it displaces a large amount of water, which then radiates outwards as a … Read more
What is Geology? Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, processes, and history. It is a multidisciplinary field that combines elements of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and engineering to understand the Earth’s physical characteristics and the processes that have shaped it over billions of years. Geologists study a wide range … Read more
Apophysis Definition “Apophysis or epiphysis is an offshoot from a larger, intrusive body.” In geology, an apophysis is a projection or extension of a geological structure, such as a vein, a dike, or a mineral deposit, that extends from the main body into surrounding rocks. The term “apophysis” comes from the Greek word “apophȳsis,” which … Read more
A mineral reserve is a portion of a mineral resource that has been demonstrated to be economically and legally extractable under current socio-economic and operating conditions.
Lithium minerals are naturally occurring compounds that contain economically significant concentrations lithium in various forms, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and lithium chloride. The most common lithium minerals include: Lithium Minerals It has been studied those concentrations exceeding 0.5% are feasible to extract lithium. Lithium deposits Lithium deposits are natural concentrations of lithium in rocks, … Read more
What is Granite? Granite is a coarse-grained plutonic igneous rock composed of about 25 percent quartz and roughly 65 percent feldspar, mostly potassium and sodium-rich feldspar. Quartz are roughly spherical in shape, are often glassy and clear to light gray in colour. Feldspar crystals are generally white to gray or salmon pink in colour and … Read more
Actinolite (ac-tin’-o-lite) is a bright-green or grayish-green monoclinic silicate mineral of the amphibole group: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5 Si8O22(OH)2. It may contain manganese. Actinolite is a variety of asbestos, occurring in long, slender, needlelike crystals and also in fibrous, radiated, or columnar forms in metamorphic rocks (such as schists) and in altered igneous rocks. Actinolite was named by … Read more
