destructive.

(a)  

(a)   applies to the

interaction of two tropical cyclones. In general, two

tropical cyclones may start to affect each other when the

distance between them is around 12 latitude degrees

(about 1350 kilometers). In this interaction, the two tropical cyclones, if in similar size and strength, will do a push and pull. If not, the much smaller cyclone will dissipate.

describe nonmetallic deposits.

(a)  

Valuable substances are concentrated within an

igneous body through magmatic processes such as

crystal fractionation, partial melting and crystal

settling.

(a)  

Concentration of valuable substances by hot aqueous

(water-rich) fluids.

(a)  

Are hot, residual watery

fluids derived during the later stages of magma

crystallization and may contain large amount of

dissolved metals. These can also originate from the

ground water circulating at depth that is being heated

up by a cooling and solidifying igneous body or along

depths with known geothermal gradient.

(a)  

A fairly well defined zone of mineralization,

usually inclined and discordant and typically narrow. Mostly occur in fault or fissure openings or in shear zones within the country rock. Sometimes referred to as (metalliferous) lode

deposits, many of the most productive deposits of gold, silver,

copper, lead, zinc, and mercury occur as this.

(a)  

Deposits in which the ore minerals are

distributed as minute masses (very low concentration) through

large volumes of rocks. This occurrence is common for porphyry

copper deposits.

(a)  

Precipitation of

metals as sulfide minerals such as

sphalerite (ZnS) and chalcopyrite

(CuFeS2) occurs when hot fluids that

circulated above magma chambers at

oceanic ridges that may contain sulfur,

copper and zinc come in contact with

cold groundwater or seawater as it

migrate towards the seafloor.

(a)  

Some valuable substances are concentrated by chemical

precipitation coming from lakes or seawater. (limestone

and halite)

(a)  

Deposits formed by the concentration of valuable

substances through gravity separation during

sedimentary processes. Usually aided by flowing surface waters either in

streams or along coastlines.

(a)  

A type of deposit that results from the accumulation

of valuable materials through chemical weathering

processes. The rock's volume greatly decreases through a process called leaching. Weather must be favorable for chemical decay.

(a)  

A guided process of finding

valuable minerals for economic purposes.

(a)  

This is the first stage in defining a

venture. This includes audit of all accessible

information (geologic reports, mining history,

maps, and so forth), government necessities in

securing the undertaking, survey of social,

ecological, political and monetary agreeableness of

the task, and spending plan and association

proposition.

(a)  

This stage involves working in

the field to be able to learn more about a project

area.

(a)  

This is to find large

areas of mineral resources. This involves

regional surface investigation and

interpretation. Mineral investigation depends on

the physical properties of the region, local

geological environment, and topography.

(a)  

This involves detailed surface and

subsurface activities in order to look at rocks and take

measurements to assess whether the area may be a

potential source of minerals.

(a)  

This is a comprehensive technical

and economic study of the viability of a mineral

project. This involves the following activities. (1)

extensive resource, geotechnical and engineering

drilling (2) metallurgical testing and (3) environmental

(a)  

This study assesses and validates the accuracy of the study

presented in the earlier stages of exploration. This

either floats (light minerals) or sink (heavy

minerals) when crushed rocks are submerged in a

heavy liquid (powder ferrosilicon or magnetite

mixed with water). (milling process)

(a)  

This uses

separate

magnetic

minerals from

ores.

(a)  

This uses the hydrophilic or

hydrophobic property of minerals. Minerals in

fine ores can be separated by attaching to the
