Western Australia Atlas Of Mineral Deposits And Petroleum Fields
''Western Australia atlas of mineral deposits and petroleum fields'' is a multiple-edition summary of mining and petroleum activity in Western Australia in the twenty-first century. It was published in earlier forms by the earlier Department of Mines, later the Department of Industry and Resources, and most recently the Department of Mines and Petroleum, and the Geological Survey of Western Australia The editions of the map, and the specifying the names of the mine and oilfield operators provide an indicative profile of the mineral and petroleum activity in a state that had significant investment fluctuations in the 2000s, and 2010s, with a large amount of investment and government budgetary estimations based on the perceived extended boom of the industries. Earlier forms Prior to the ''Atlas series'', there were dated maps without text or indexes. * 1906 The 1906 map created by Maitland Brown was a major accomplishment to tie in the range of mineral fields and administrati ...

Geological Survey Of South Australia
Geology (). is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Modern geology significantly overlaps all other Earth sciences, including hydrology. It is integrated with Earth system science and planetary science. Geology describes the structure of the Earth on and beneath its surface and the processes that have shaped that structure. Geologists study the mineralogical composition of rocks in order to get insight into their history of formation. Geology determines the relative ages of rocks found at a given location; geochemistry (a branch of geology) determines their absolute ages. By combining various petrological, crystallographic, and paleontological tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole. One aspect is to demonstrate the age of the Earth. Geology provides evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
