These include exposure of minerals and rocks to extremely hot water, generally near hot springs or oceanic hydrothermal vents. A majority of the world’s uranium ores and gold ores are formed due to hydrothermal processes. Mining - Uses of Ores Mining The process of extracting metal ores found...
Association of Rubidium and Potassium and their abundance in common igneous rocks and meteorites. Geochim. Cosomochim. Acta., 2, 229--242.Ahrens, L. H., W. H. Pinson and M. M. Kearns : Association of rubidium and potassium and their abundance in common igneous rocks and meteorites. ...
Dark primary igneous rocks (basalt, gabbro, and so on) are typically where olivine is found. The mineral usually occurs as small, clear olive-green grains and stubby crystals. A rock made entirely of olivine is called dunite. Olivine is most commonly found below the Earth's surface. It giv...
The most common igneous rocks found in ophiolites are gabbro, basalt and peridotite. Igneous rock is a type of rock that is formed from the cooling of... Learn more about this topic: Oceanic Crust | Definition, Density & Composition

Glassy luster; hardness of 7. Sodalite Harry Taylor/Getty Images Alkaline low-silica igneous rocks may have large masses of sodalite, a feldspathoid mineral that usually has a rich blue color, also ranging from clear to violet. It may be accompanied by the related blue feldspathoids hauyne,...
The in situ crystallisation of non-cotectic, foliated igneous rocks on a magma chamber floor A common feature of many layered intrusions around the world is the presence of foliated, non-cotectic assemblages of cumulus minerals. Since in situ crystallisation is generally expected to produce cumula...
Geochemical compositions of Cenozoic intraplate volcanic rocks in eastern Asia reveal a highly heterogeneous mantle beneath them. Basalts from the northeast Asia are characterized by EM1 (Enriched Mantle-1) isotopic compositions while those from the southeast Asia are dominated by EM2 (Enriched Mantle-...
Fieldwork remains the foundation of the science of geology involving the observation and interpretation of features such as stratigraphic relationships, tectonic structures, structural and geochemical controls on mineralization, and geochemical analyses of rocks. The data collected from such studies are oft...
