 #FORMATION OF DIAMOND IN KIMBERLITE Diamond Mining, Kimberly Town, South Afrika Formation of Kimberlite Kimberlites, named after the town of Kimberly, South Africa, where they were first described, are volcanic rocks that originate in Earth’s mantle. They are mined exclusively for diamonds. The photo shows the “Big Hole” at Kimberly. The Hole was mined from 1871 to 1914 and reached a depth of 240 m below the surface. Subsequently, it filled with water. Kimberlite eruptions are gas-powered explosive events. The magmas originate at depths of 150 to 450 km, deeper than other igneous rocks. Most kimberlites are in small vertical columns called kimberlite pipes although some rare sills are known. These pipes are the most important source of diamonds today. If kimberlite weathers and erodes, the diamonds may become concentrated in sedimentary deposits. Some kimberlites bring mantle xenoliths (pieces of mantle rock) to the surface; petrologists use these samples to study m...

  NASA: UNIVERSE AND GALAXY We are talking about our search for multiple explosions in space. There are multiple stars of various sizes  that the human mind cannot imagine in comparison to the planets in the solar system, and there are giant  galaxies that are dense with nuclear energy, and there are planets with medium sizes of gas and ice, so  deep distances in space occur. Explosions and these explosions are from asteroids of medium sizes, and  these explosions reach their sounds to changing distances from space and these sounds disappear. The  light leaks to deep places in space, and man happens to see them through a telescope. As for the   explosions near the solar system, they are from some galaxies and some stars of medium sizes and some  Groups of energy called streaks and groups of crystallized energy of gigantic sizes and intense light. The  galaxy explodes from the center, then the energy formed by the galaxy vanishes by the f...

  WHAT IS REMOTE SENSING? Remote sensing is the process of gathering information about an object or phenomenon from a distance without making physical contact . This is done using remote sensors on satellites, aircraft, ships, or ground-based platforms, which detect and record reflected or emitted energy . Examples of remote sensing applications include monitoring weather patterns, mapping land use and land cover, studying natural disasters, and tracking changes in the Earth's surface . Remote sensing technology has a wide range of applications in various fields, including geography, hydrology, ecology, oceanography, glaciology, and geology . APPLICATIONS OF REMOTE SENSING? Remote sensing has a wide range of applications in various fields, including: Agriculture: Remote sensing can be used to monitor crop health, estimate crop yields, and identify areas that require irrigation or fertilization. Forestry: Remote sensing can be used to map forests, monitor changes in forest cover, i...

  INTRODUCTION OF GEOLOGY     WHAT IS GEOLOGY?      Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, processes, and history. Geologists study rocks, minerals, fossils, and other materials to understand how the Earth has changed over time and to predict how it may change in the future. Geology is an interdisciplinary science that draws on knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, and other fields to help us better understand our planet.      WHAT ARE THE BRANCHES OF GEOLOGY? There are several branches of geology, including: Physical geology: This branch of geology focuses on the study of the physical processes that shape the Earth's surface, such as plate tectonics, erosion, and sedimentation. Mineralogy: This branch of geology focuses on the study of minerals, including their properties, formation, and uses. Petrology: This branch of geology focuses on the study of rocks, including their composition, textu...
