GEOLOGY REPORT

A branch of the earth science that is concerned with studying minerals and their physical and chemical properties.

Study of origin and behavior of minerals. Effects of minerals in eco-systems, industry, and potential contamination

• Environmental mineralogy

• Chemical mineralogy

• Physical mineralogy

• Crystallography

Studies of crystal forms or forms which the minerals crytallize. The internal structure, relations, and distribution of atom, ions groups, in crystal lattice

• Crystallography

• Physical mineralogy

• Descriptive mineralogy

• Chemical mineralogy

Study of physical properties of minerals. These include cohesion, optical, thermal, and magnetic properties, electrical conductivity, and radioactivity

• Physical mineralogy

• Chemical mineralogy

• Descriptive mineralogy

• Environmental mineralogy

• Made from compounds of sulfur usually with a metal,

• Heavy and brittle

• Silicates

• Sulfides

• Carbonates

• Oxides

• Minerals made of carbon, oxygen, and metallic element.

• Dissolve relatively easily in water, especially acid water, and natural rainwater

• Silicates

• Sulfides

• Halides

• Carbonates

• Minerals formed with elements from the halogen elements (Cl, Br, Fl,) with metallic elements,

• Soft and easily dissolves in water

• Oxides

• Carbonates

• Halides

• Sulfates

• A uncommon group of materials formed when other minerals are broken down by weathering.

• Brightly colored

• Phosphates

• Sulfates

• Native Elements

• Halides

• Pure minerals.

• Made of a single elements

• Native Elements

• Phosphates

• Sulfates

• Halides

• Related to the idea of translational symmetry.

• The network or array of a single motif that have been translated and repeated at fixed intervals

• Symmetry

• Lattices

• Isometric

• Hexagonal
