    MINING TECHNOLOGY-A HOLISTIC APPROACH Mining-An Approach Mining is a technological process whose ultimate goal was to take out valuable minerals from the surface of the Earth. However, during the early periods, mining techniques or methods and equipment were inefficient and resulted in less productivity and effectiveness. Many of the techniques and methods practiced were either slow or fatal. The old days of mining technology have completely shifted afterwards. Pic. shows the configuration of Mining Technology Concise History of Mining The history of mining technology established using uninvolved tools and mechanisms for extraction. These comprehend quarrying by hand or using stone tools. While these were the only techniques of mining at that instant, the process was slow and vastly unsuccessful as it took parting. However, manual mining tools were soon displaced by a more methodical source. Fire was introduced as a new method of extraction.

                                     Helium and Earth’s core A new assessment of a volcanic eruption in Canada's Arctic shows that helium trapped in the Earth's core may "melt" into the mantle after reaching the ground - an idea that the state of scientific information about the inner workings of our planet. It is common evidence to support the hypothesis that the first "reservoirs" of helium and other elements were trapped in the center of the Earth when the sun and the smaller planets coalesced in a cloud of gas and dust over billions of years. 4.5 in the past. The findings "suggest that somewhere in the deep mass of our planet, gases are being stored away from being created by Earth," says lead author Forrest Horton, a geochemist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Scientists can get some idea of ​​where a helium atom came from by investigating the number of neutrons in its nucleus—a determination that identifies one type, or isotope, of th

Basics of Earth System

Image
Basics of Earth System Earth’s structures are made from the strong Earth (or lithosphere), its watery and gaseous envelopes (the hydrosphere and ecosystem, respectively), and existence (the biosphere), every of which has developed and interacted continuously at some point of geologic time. This interaction takes place at or near the Earth’s surface, and the energy required is an aggregate of Earth’s inner warmth and radiant energy from the Sun. The Earth's lithosphere is divided into interconnected slabs, or plates, that drift over a vulnerable layer of the upper mantle. As these plates move against each other they cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Over time they were able to create and destroy the most visible works on Earth, including oceans and mountains. Although the exact mechanism of plate tectonics is unclear, it seems to be directly or indirectly related to the drifting of heat in the Earth's mantle, which causes convect

MARINE GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS- AN INTRODUCTION

        MARINE GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS- AN INTRODUCTION Marine geology and geophysics are clinical fields which are concerned with fixing the mysteries of the seafloor and Earth's indoors. Marine geologists, like all geologists, are searching to recognize the approaches and records of the strong Earth, but their strategies vary from geologists who work on land because they have a look at geologic (Earth's) features that are underwater. The oceans cover more than 70% of Earth, and water obscures a wealth of facts about the rocks and sediments (debris of rock, sand, and different material) in the ocean basins. Marine geologists depend especially on bodily techniques to uncover the functions and approaches of the seafloor. Geophysicists are scientists who observe the bodily homes of the solid Earth, and regularly paint carefully with marine geologists. Geophysicists use experiments and observations to decide how Earth substances together with rock, magma (molten rock), sediments,
