Geology EOA Edu-Tutor, Vol. 2: Rocks, Minerals and Resources
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Explore the fascinating world of beautiful mineral crystals and learn about the three great rock groups that make up our entire planet - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Take a close look at the so-called "rocks of fire". Understand the difference between lava and magma, and between rocks that form at the surface and those that form deep within the Earth. Learn how loose bits of rock, soil and organic debris are deposited in layers that eventually form sedimentary rocks that blanket the Earth. Understand how heat, pressure and fluids can change existing rock into metamorphic rock, and about the fascinating new minerals that form. Then shift your focus and discover Earth's bounty of renewable and non-renewable resources - from solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Learn about conservation, reclamation and the 4 "R"s (recycle, reduce, reuse and remember!).
