Geology

The Earth’s crust is made up of several minerals. Minerals can be found in igneous and metamorphic rocks in cracks, fissures, faults, and joints. The smaller occurrences are veins, while the larger ones are lodes. There is a wide range of mineral deposits in India. Metals are recovered from these deposits after sufficient processing. Mineral […]

Geology is part of Earth sciences dealing with the study of Earth, flow within the ocean, and Earth’s atmosphere. The field of Geology encompasses the analysis of the composition, physical properties, structure, history of the components of Earth, and the processes of shaping them. The field of Geology that is concerned with studying earth materials

The understanding and knowledge of marine mineral resources in India have grown in tandem with the advancements in geological studies. As a result, the recovery of these resources has sped up. Earlier, the exploration, extraction, and exploitation of solid mineral resources were limited to those which arose from natural weathering of terrestrial rocks and were

In our surroundings, we can find numerous types of compounds, which are different in their appearances, or we can say that their morphologies differ. Some chemical properties are determined just by appearances. The morphology of a compound describes its external structure. The expressions isomorphism and polymorphism are utilised to describe the external features of compounds.

With the exponential increase in population, industrialisation and urbanisation, environmental pollution has become a dominant issue.  Industrialisation is essential for developing countries to elevate their economy and promote self-reliance. However, a major adverse effect of industrialisation is the increase in hazardous industrial and radioactive waste. It is important to mitigate the harmful effects of industrial

Naturally occurring rock or synthetic minerals with high economic value and benefits are generally called industrial minerals. The non-metallurgical properties of industrial minerals make them suitable for many domestic and industrial applications. Industry is a type of economic activity associated with the manufacturing of goods. In mineral-based industries, minerals are utilised as raw materials. Industrial

Geology is part of the Earth sciences dealing with the study of the Earth, flow within the ocean, and the Earth’s atmosphere. The field of geology encompasses the study of composition, physical properties, structure, history of the components of Earth, and the processes of shaping them. The process of mining metals and/or metallic ores are

The Law of Sea is a collection of international treaties and agreements that regulates all marine and maritime activities. It encourages a peaceful relationship between the sea and the coastal states. As one of the main topics of international law, it conducts all maritime economic activities, maintains navigation rules and protects the sea from ruling

Never before in the history of our planet has any species of organisms affected and shaped the physical world as much as humans do today. Environmental geology studies the way human beings interact with the physical environment and how the physical environment changes. These changes are monitored and predicted by the application of geological principles.

Since the industrial revolution, coal and petroleum have been used as the most significant source of energy production. Coal and petroleum are examples of fossil fuels formed a million years ago. Coal is primarily used in the mineral industry as it fulfils the need for energy. The word ‘petroleum’ is formed from two Latin words
