Water containing dissolved mineral salts seeps into the cracks of a rock and the water evaporates the salt remains and it crystallises within the pores. As the mineral salt grows into larger salt crystals which exerts pressure on the sides of the crack causing it to break down over time. Frost action- occurs in mountainous areas where there is large

has provided the trigger to boost economy of the mining talukas. Certain natural factors like the presence of coastline‚ a very good natural harbour at Marmugao and a number of navigable perennial rivers have promoted the economic exploitation of mineral deposits. Transport of ores by barges is the cheapest option as compared to road and rail transport. Goa is a major iron ore exporting state and over 60% of Country’s iron ore export is from Goa. In terms of foreign exchange earnings it amounts to

classified as either physical or historical geology. Physical geology is the study of Earth materials‚ operating as minerals and rocks‚ as well as the processes operating within Earth and on its surface (Monroe‚ 2001). Geology influences the strength of the rocks‚ the ability to process the given deposit with existing processing techniques and stability of excavation made in the mineral deposit. This emphasizes the importance of geology to mining operations hence it should be properly studied to avoid
