Scope Of Geology

Scope Of Geology.......
                         
It is a well established interdisciplinary branch of Science and has a scope in different fields:

         

          Marine Geologist

           Studies marine environment. With the help of remote sensing they locate old

           rocks and vegetations and effects on sea and atmosphere.

          Petrologist
 Conducts explorations for new oil and gas fields both the onshore and offshore

          activity. All types of survey like geophysical and seismic surveys are carried out

          before drilling

          Geohydrologist

           Locates and assesses sources of water and also find threats which can pollute the

           water.

           Hydrologist

          Studies underground sources of water and all related parameters to it like

          infiltration and pollution threats.

          Paleontologist

          Works with fossils (dead remain of creatures and plants). They estimate their age

          and try to find how the earth was at that time and what lead to their deaths.

          Seismologist

          Works with movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, which causes earthquakes.

          Surveyor

           Collects data about land and sea and maintain a database and keep monitoring

           the changes in data with past and present values.

CIPW NORMS CALCULATIONS

CIPW NORMS CALCULATIONS The CIPW norm is named after the four petrologists, Cross, Iddings, Pirsson and Washington, who devised it in 1931. What is a Norm and why it is needed? A norm is a means of converting the chemical composition of an igneous rock to an ideal mineral composition. It often reveals similarities in rocks that have quite different modes, or observed mineral assemblages. Some of the factors that can cause such variations are: • Disequilibrium (for example, zoned minerals or reaction rims isolating the interiors of grains) • Temperature • Pressure • Alteration • Water content (otherwise identical rocks might contain biotite, amphibole, or pyroxene, depending on water content) • Other minor constituents. For example, excess sulfur or chlorine might cause scapolite to form instead of feldspar. Boron typically causes tourmaline to form. The CIPW norm calculates mineral composition as if the magma were anhydrous (water is simply treated as a separate phase) and at low press...

Scientists Discover Exotic New Mineral Forged in The Furnace of a Russian Volcano

Volcanoes rank among the most destructive and awe-inspiring phenomena on the planet. But these fiery fissures do much more than just destroy. They also create. In a new study, researchers in Russia report the discovery of one such creation – an unusual mineral never before documented by scientists: an alluring, vibrantly blue-and-green crystallised substance the team have called  petrovite . The mineral was found in the volcanic landscape of Russia's far east, atop the Tolbachik volcano  in the  Kamchatka Peninsula . Blue cryptocrystalline crusts of petrovite.  (Filatov et al., Mineralogical Magazine, 2020) Tolbachik's eruptive history traces back thousands of years, but in recent times, two notable events stand out: the 'Great Tolbachik Fissure Eruption' of 1975–1976, and a second, lesser follow-up that took place between 2012–2013. The force of eruptions during the first event tore numerous  cinder cones  in the volcanic complex, opening up...

Antelope Canyon, Arizon USA

Antelope Canyon  is a  slot canyon   in the American Southwest , on  Navajo   land east of  Page,  Arizona.  It includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is  Tsé bighánílíní , which means 'the place where water runs through rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is  Hazdistazí  (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'.  Antelope Canyon lights and rocks Arizona USA © Andrea Izzotti/Shutterstock Antelope Canyon’s undulating sandstone walls have been smoothed and polished to perfection by years of rainwater and flooding. The slot canyon is still prone to flash floods on occasion, but visit on a fair weather day and you’ll be in for a treat, as the walls turn burning shades of amber, bronze and gold in the shafts of sunlight that peek ...
