Some copper deposits provide an example of this. By far the largest amounts of copper are found in the crust in bodies known asporphyry copper deposits. Copper is often associated with other metals such as lead, zinc, gold, and silver. These deposits were once large masses of molten rock ...
I beg to understand that I cannot thank individually everybody who discusses important facets along this chain, but instead be permitted to personally extend special thanks to those colleagues with whom I cooperated very intensively to advance international cooperation in the geoscience field, especially...
The two main factors that affect the static stability of a slope are the shear strength of the TD and the pore pressure. Static liquefaction refers to the process whereby a contractive granular material (soils, tailings, gravels, loess, etc.), that is more than 80% saturated, loses its str...
