About this Unit

An introduction to planet Earth and its geological resources. Students will examine key rock types (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic) and how their constituent minerals and structures define a range of rock properties. They will also infer 3-dimensional patterns of rock units and structures from maps, cross-sections and stereographic projections; and, identify key ore and fossil fuel deposit types and learn how their size, shape and location are controlled by the spatial arrangement of rock types and structures.
