PPT-Martian Mineralogy: Important Minerals for Understanding Ge

Liz Rampe NASAJSCORAU 9 July 2012 elizabethbrampenasagov Why Study Minerals on Mars Link to past and present geologic processes Understand how geologic processes changed over time Rock forming processes. Understanding the mineralogy of the ore stream mined from the Foskor open pits, including the load/haul flows from primary/secondary/tertiarymilling, conditioning, and finally on to flotation feed A A homogenous, naturally occurring substance with definable internal structure is called mineral. .. Mode of occurrence of minerals:. (1) In igneous and metamorphic rocks: The smaller occurrences are called veins and the larger occurrences are called lodes. They are usually formed when minerals in liquid/molten and gaseous forms are forced upwards through cavities towards the earth’s surface. Examples: tin, copper, zinc, lead, etc.. About Ray Bradbury.
