Core geological concepts covering Earth structure, processes, and materials, explained through practical and research-based insights.
Introduction Petrology is a fascinating branch of geology that focuses on the study of rocks—their composition, origin, and history. While most people see rocks as simple stones scattered on the ground, each rock contains a story of Earth’s formation and…
Rocks are one of the most fundamental components of the Earth. From the mountains we see on the horizon to the stones beneath our feet, rocks shape the planet’s surface and preserve its long geological history. Understanding what a rock…
Explore the main physical properties of minerals, their significance in geology, industry, and everyday life for accurate identification and practical use
The Earth is made up of minerals, which act as its fundamental building blocks.They are naturally occurring, solid substances with a definite chemical composition and a specific atomic structure. Every rock, soil, and even the metals we use in daily…
Introduction Discover how minerals like Nickel, Chromium, and Kaolin Clay power your heater while showing the hidden science of everyday warmth. The Inventor’s First Thought When the first heaters were designed, inventors wondered: How can minerals be used to create…
Introduction Rocks may look boring, but they have amazing stories to tell! Structural geology is the study of these hidden patterns in rocks, helping scientists understand how the Earth has changed over millions of years. These patterns, called primary and…
What is Structural Geology? Structural Geology is the study of rock structures, their deformation, and three-dimensional arrangement in the Earth’s crust. It explores how rocks fold, fracture, and layer over time due to forces such as stress, pressure, and tectonic movements. Understanding…
Introduction We often wonder: why is Sunday called Sunday? As children, many of us associated it with rest — a day off from school or work. Growing up, we realize that in most countries, Sunday isn’t universally a holiday. But…
Every morning, we go through the same routine: brushing our teeth, washing our face, and stepping onto smooth bathroom tiles. It all feels ordinary — familiar, routine, almost invisible. But have you ever wondered what these everyday products have in…
Introduction The rock cycle is a natural process where rocks change form over millions of years; iron can be used as an example to illustrate these changes. Note: The iron example is used only for understanding. Rocks and iron are different…
