PPT-Chapter 3 Section 2 Identifying Minerals

If you closed your eyes and tasted different foods you could probably determine what the foods are by noting properties such as saltiness or sweetness You can also determine the identity of a mineral by noting different properties. Chapter 7 –Weathering and Erosion. Objectives:. Distinguish between weathering and erosion. Identify physical variables that cause mechanical weathering. Identify chemical variables that cause chemical weathering. Lithosphere (soils) affected by…. . composition of atm. gases (e.g. 4Fe. 3+. + 30. 2. .  2Fe. 2. O. 3. ) . atmospheric circulation. climate. biological processes (exudation, respiration). UNIT -4. They assist in the identification of minerals – . study their optical properties under the microscope. . . Minerals . are inorganic chemical compounds having a certain lattice shape, size and symmetry, being a result of the geometrical arrangement of the constituents (chemical elements such as Si, Al, O, .

Earth’s History Unit 8 and Unit 2 Chapters 4,5,6,7,29,30 Warm- up (10-29-15) What do you know about the Earth? What can you infer about Earth’s history, how it formed, based on the formation of the solar system? Come up with a realistic and environmentally sensitive plan to make sure that the US economy, industry, and military are secure with respect to their reliance on 3 top strategic minerals (or their derivatives) in the next 20 years.   This could involve identifying new sources of these minerals around the world, identifying and mitigating weak links in the global supply chain, developing national and international agreements or regulatory bodies for securing access to these minerals, identifying more readily available minerals as substitutes, identifying new technologies that would not rely on these minerals, or numerous other possibilities. Rock thin sections. Rock thin sections are slices of rock glued onto microscope slides and polished until they are about 30μm thick (about the thickness of human hair).. The microscope used to study minerals in rock thin sections..
