unreferenced date June 2010 In biology, mineralization refers to the process where an organic substance is converted to an inorganic substance. This may also be a normal biological process which takes place during the life of an organism such as the formation of bone tissue or egg shells, largely with calcium . This term may also be used to indicate the digestion process in which bacteria utilize the organic part of the matter, leaving behind the minerals see Fossil . This can also take place as the organic material decays and water percolating through the soil dissolves mineral salts that precipitate in place of the tissue. Bone mineralization occurs in human body through osteoblastic cell line.

Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and or industrial purposes. These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water. The term commonly refers to metallic mineral deposits and mineral resources. The techniques employed by other earth science disciplines such as geochemistry , mineralogy , geophysics , petrology and structural geology might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit an ore deposit. Economic geology is studied and practiced by geologists. However it is of prime interest to investment banker s, stock analysts and other professions such as engineers, environmental scientists, and conservationists because of the far reaching impact that extractive industries have on society, the economy, and the environment. Mineral resources main Mineral resource classification Mineral resources are concentrations of minerals significant for current and future societal needs.

Unreferenced date December 2007 In geology the term compression refers to a set of stresses directed toward the center of a rock mass. Compressive strength refers to the maximum compressive stress that can be applied to a material before failure occurs. When the maximum compressive stress is in a horizontal orientation, thrust fault ing can occur, resulting in the shortening and thickening of that portion of the crust geology crust . When the maximum compressive stress is vertical, a section of rock will often fail in normal fault s, horizontally extending and vertically thinning a given layer of rock. Compressive stresses can also result in fold geology folding of rocks. Because of the large magnitudes of lithostatic stress in tectonic plate s, tectonic scale deformation geology deformation is always subjected to net compressive stress.

Environmental geology , like hydrogeology , is an applied science concerned with the practical application of the principles of geology in the solving of environmental problems. It is a multidisciplinary field that is closely related to engineering geology and, to a lesser extent, to environmental geography . Each of these fields involves the study of the interaction of humans with the geologic environment, including the biosphere , the lithosphere , the hydrosphere , and to some extent the Earth s atmosphere atmosphere . Environmental geology includes managing geological and hydrogeological resources such as fossil fuel s, mineral s, water molecule water surface and ground water , and land use . studying the earth s surface through the disciplines of geomorphology , and edaphology defining and mitigating exposure of natural hazards on humans managing industrial and domestic waste disposal and minimizing or eliminating effects of pollution , and performing associated activities, often involving litigation.
