How do minerals form by evaporation? How was water created? How are sedimentary rocks formed through chemical processes? How can nitrogen and oxygen be separated? How are coral reefs formed? How is iron ore formed? How is oxygen produced commercially?
How do minerals form around chimneys on the ocean floor? How is magma classified? How can magma be called a solid under the surface if it is made of molten rock? How does water create magma during subduction at a divergent boundary? In other words, how does water chemically lower the mel...
For example,graphite can form diamonds, and the mineralzircon can turn into reidite– as described in thenew paper. As the shock wave passes, heat energy is produced by the release from high pressure. This can heat the rocksenough to melt, and in many cases even completely vaporise the me...
One of the oldest needs of humankind has been to shape and grind tools in order to make them sharper or change their form. Our ancestors did this by using abrasive – materials, typically minerals, that shape or finish objects through a rubbing motion – and the method has continued to thi...

"One hypothesis is that ion pairs come together to form minerals, and a competing idea is that an extended network of ions exists in these solutions," said Andrew Stack, who leads ORNL's Geochemistry and Interfacial Sciences group. "We found ion pairs in this case but did not find a netw...

Salt domes can form in a sedimentary basin where a thick layer of salt is overlain by younger sediments of significant thickness. Where conditions allow, salt domes can rise thousands of feet above the layer of salt from which they began growing. An example is shown in the illustration. In...

cubic lattice structure characteristic of diamonds. The presence of metal catalysts such as nickel can sometimes lower the requisite pressure for diamond formation, thereby aiding the crystallization process. Additionally, diamonds may encapsulate other minerals during their growth, which become inclusions, ...
