Chapter 14: Geology and Earth Resources

14.1 Earth Processes Shape Our Resources Earth is a dynamic planet Tectonic processes reshape continents and cause earthquakes and volcanoes

The Solid Earth

Global Earthquakes

Global Volcanoes

The Earth’s Plates

The Plate Tectonics Model

Global Plate Motions

14.2 Rocks And Minerals The Rock Cycle Creates And Recycles Rocks Weathering And Erosion Wear Down Rocks

The Rock Cycle

14.3 Economic Geology And Mineralogy Metals are essential to our economy What Do You Think? Should We Revise Mining Laws? – The Mining Law of 1872 Nommetallic minerals include gravel, clay, sand, and salts

14.4 Environmental Effects of Resource Extraction Mining can have serious environmental impacts – Acid runoff – Toxic metals Processing ores also has negative effects – Sulfur Emissions – Waste Disposal

14.5 Conserving Geological Resources Recycling saves energy as well as materials – About 50% of Iron and Steel is Recycled – Recycling Electronics New materials can replace mined resources – New Methods of Mining Low-Grade Ores – Synthesizing Minerals (Quartz, Diamonds) – Alternatives (Plastics for Metals)

Recycling Electronics

Three Emerging Resource Problems Lithium (Batteries) – Evaporites (Bolivia): Far Easier to Extract – Pegmatites (Lepidolite, Spodumene) Rare Earths (Electronics) – Col-Tan and Congo Civil War – Chinese Monopoly – California mine to reopen Phosphorus (Fertilizer) – Morocco, China, South Africa, Jordan, U.S. = 90%

14.6 Geological Hazards Earthquakes can be very destructive – “Earthquakes Don’t Kill People, Buildings Kill People” Volcanoes eject gas and ash, as well as lava – Lava is the Least Dangerous Product of Volcanoes Landslides are examples of mass wasting
