Minerals: Are elements or compounds which are solid, inorganic, and naturally-occurring.
Quartz: Can be found in all sorts of rocks.
Feldspar: The most common mineral in the Earth's crust.
Olivine: It is typically found in some igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Calcium: It is a major component of the rock limestone or marble which is an expensive building material.
Soil Profile: It is a series of horizontal layers in the soil that differ in chemical composition,physical properties,particle size,and the amount of organic matter.
Contour Strip: A mining method used on mountainous terrain.
Subsurface Mining: A mining removes coral and metal ores that are too deep to be extracted by surface mining.
Rocks: These are earth materials which make-up the crust.
Metamorphic Rock: These rocks forms when a pre-existing rock is subjected to high temperature, high pressure, chemically active fluids.
Igneous Rocks: These rocks are formed from magma that cooled and hardened.
Sedimentary Rocks: These rocks are formed from sediments that accumulate and were compacted due to increased pressure.
Loam: A soil type with good drainage and good texture that is ideal for growing crops.
Soil: A mixture of mineral material, organic matter, air, water, and living organisms' capable of supporting plant grow.
Nonrenewable Mineral: Is a concentration of naturally occurring material in or on the earth's crust that can be extracted and processed into useful material at an affordable cost.
Shallow Deposits: Are removed from by surface mining.
Deep Deposits: Are removed by subsurface mining.
Basalt: The most common rock type in Earth's crust.
Conglomerate: It is made of rounded or semi-rounded rock fragments cemented.
Breccia: Consists of angular rock fragments cemented together.
Quartzite: It is a metamorphosed sandstone.
Pumice: Is a volcanic rock that consists of highly vesicular rough textured volcanic glass, which may or may not contain crystals.
Talc: . It is the softest known mineral.
Lithosphere:Is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet defined on the basis of the mechanical properties.
Gemstone: Is a piece of mineral, which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments.
Intrusive: Are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet.
Hypabyssal: Are formed at a depth in between the plutonic and volcanic rocks.
Area Strip: A mining maybe used where terrain is fairy flat.
Soil Erosion: Is the removal and transportation of soil by water and wind.
Iron: Is an important component of the heme of the red blood cells.
Underground Mining: This method includes drilling deep well and extracting core samples.
Clay Soil: A general term including many combinations of one or more clay minerals with traces of metal oxides and organic matter.
Silty Soil: Which are fine-grained soils that do not include clay minerals
Marble: Is a metamorphosed limestone.
Horizon: Each recognizable layer is known as this.
BHorizon: Containing most of the roots of the grasses.
Farmers: They are particularly concerned with soil.
Richter Scale: It was developed to assign a single number to quantify the energy released during an earthquake.
Draglines: Explosives, massive holes, and huge machinery are called this.
Soil Properties: These includes soil texture. structure, atmosphere,moisture, biotic content, and chemicial composition.
Earths Crust: Consists of solid inorganic elements and compunds.
Zircon: is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates; forms in silicate melts with large proportions of high field strength incompatible elements.
Jasper: It is an opaque rock of virtually any color stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash.
Limestone: It is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate.
Dolomite: It used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock, which is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite.
Andesite: It is a gray to black volcanic rock.
