Download or read book What Are Rocks Made Of written by Ellen Lawrence and published by Rock-Ology: The Hard Facts abo. This book was released on 2020 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chunk of granite rock may look gray and boring, but take a closer look under a microscope and it's possible to see that the rock is made from billions of tiny colorful grains. Each microscopic grain is a substance called a mineral, and it's minerals that are the ingredients that make up all the rocks on Earth. In this book, readers will learn how different combinations of minerals create different types of rocks. They'll discover that metals, such as gold, are actually minerals that can be found in rocks. And they'll learn that some minerals grow as beautiful shapes called crystals that can be made into precious gemstones such as rubies and sapphires. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of an early elementary audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance not only to learn, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking.

Download or read book Physical Geology written by Steven Earle and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.
Download or read book The Field Description of Igneous Rocks written by R. S. Thorpe and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a companion volume to the handbooks on sedimentary and metamorphic rocks published by the Geological Society of London in association with the Open University Press. Despite the title, this is more than just a guide to the study of igneous rocks in the field--it provides a concise, compact survey of many facets of igneous petrology. The chapter on volcanic rocks provides a particularly clear exposition of the various features encountered in modern volcanic environments, although serious students should know that palaeovolcanic rocks cannot always be satisfactorily interpreted in these terms. There is also a welcome coverage of the mineral deposits often associated with the later stages of granitic activity. The diagrams are clear and relevant, although some of the photographs suffered during reproduction. It would serve as a general introductory text, although it would need to a companion volume on thin-section petrology, at least for more serious students of the subject. Recommended as a well-balanced attempt to foster a sensible, rational approach to the mysteries of igneous rocks in the field. It also fits the pocket--literally and figuratively.
