Mineralogy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the history of the Earth through the properties and origins of minerals.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading the nature of the Earth and planets through minerals.
The Mineralogy Lab studies the rocks that make up the Earth and planets, treating minerals as their smallest constituent unit.
The lab believes that understanding the physical and chemical properties of minerals can clarify the history and internal structure of the Earth.
Studying the minerals that make up meteorites, which arrive from outside the Earth, can also provide information about other planets.
Minerals are also used in familiar places such as gemstones, quartz clocks that use quartz, and cosmetics, and there are attempts to use their properties to address environmental pollution and nuclear waste.
Key terms
- Mineral
- Any of the various kinds of substances that make up rocks. It is treated as the smallest constituent unit when studying the materials of the Earth and planets.
- Quartz
- A mineral also called rock crystal. One of its distinctive properties is used in quartz clocks to keep accurate time.
- Meteorite
- A rock that arrives from outside the Earth. Studying the minerals it contains provides information about other planets.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify the history and internal structure of the Earth by understanding the physical and chemical properties of minerals. It investigates the origins of minerals and their various properties from many different angles.
