  2. Dolomite (mineral) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(mineral)

    Dolomite is a double carbonate, having an alternating structural arrangement of calcium and magnesium ions. Unless it is in fine powder form, it does not rapidly dissolve or effervesce (fizz) in cold dilute hydrochloric acid as calcite does. [9] Crystal twinning is common. Solid solution exists between dolomite, the iron -dominant ankerite and ...

  3. Dolomite (rock) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(rock)

    Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg (CO 3) 2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites, though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 ...

    Due to continental drift, the India Plate split from Madagascar and collided with the Eurasian Plate resulting in the formation of the Himalayas.. The earliest phase of tectonic evolution was marked by the cooling and solidification of the upper crust of the earth's surface in the Archaean Era (prior to 2.5 billion years) which is represented by the exposure of gneisses and granites especially ...

  6. Carbonate-hosted lead-zinc ore deposits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate-hosted_lead-zinc...

    Similar deposit styles may be encountered in sheared and deformed carbonate belts where zinc-lead sulfides are hosted at the sheared contact of carbonates with siliciclastic sequences. Examples include the Dharwar Basin zinc-lead deposits, India where sulfides are hosted in shears within dolomite sequences.

    India is the world's most populated country, having surpassed China in 2023. [26] [27] Although population growth in India has slowed, the country's population is expected to grow and hit a peak of 1.7 billion people by 2064. [27] India's replacement level fertility rate is 2, as of 2023. [28]

  8. Geology of the Death Valley area - Wikipedia

    Little is known about the history of the oldest exposed rocks in the area due to extensive metamorphism.This somber, gray, almost featureless crystalline complex is composed of originally sedimentary and igneous rocks with large quantities of quartz and feldspar mixed in. [1] The original rocks were transformed to contorted schist and gneiss, making their original parentage almost unrecognizable.
