What is the term used for the study of rocks?
The scientific study or rocks and rock forming minerals is known as petrology. It is a sub branch of geology.
Instruments or tools used to study earth science?
Earth science includes other allied subjects ranging from environmental sciences,oceanography,climatology,geology, seismology,anthropology,archeology,study of rocks,minerals,mining,structural engineering,movements in tectonic plates,chemistry,physics,bio sciences,remote sensing etc. Most instruments used in the above mentioned subjects are used for study of earth sciences.
What criterion is used to divide rocks into three groups?
Rocks are classified into three main groups based on their formation process: igneous rocks formed from cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks formed from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of preexisting rocks or organic materials, and metamorphic rocks formed from the alteration of preexisting rocks due to high temperature and pressure.
What are three rocks tied to rawhide strips?
Historically, Native American tribes used three rocks tied to rawhide strips as a way of creating a portable friction fire-starting kit. By securing the rocks together, they could be used to create sparks when struck against a piece of pyrite or flint, which would then be directed onto a bundle of tinder to start a fire.
What techique is used to study ancient magnetic fields?
Paleomagnetism refers to the study of the record of the Earth's magnetic field preserved in various rocks and minerals through time.The study of paleomagnetism is possible because iron-bearing minerals such as magnetite may record past directions of the Earth's magnetic field when the rocks containing them were formed or last heated up.Paleomagnetic signatures in rocks can be recorded by three different mechanisms:-First, iron-titanium oxide minerals in basalt and other igneous rocks may preserve the direction of the Earth's magnetic field when the rocks cool through the "Curie temperature" for those minerals. (The Curie temperature of magnetite, is about 580°C).In a completely different process, magnetic grains in sediments may align with the magnetic field during or soon after deposition.In a third process, magnetic grains may be deposited from a circulating solution, or be formed during chemical reactions, and may record the direction of the magnetic field at the time of the mineral's formation.
