There are four major factors that often contribute to the formation of hydrothermal copper porphyry: 1) readily available mineralizing fluid solutions that dissolve and transport metals‚ 2) openings in rocks which allow permeable flow of hydrothermal fluids and the metals that they transport in solution‚ 3) available sites within the fractured rocks which allow for deposition of the minerals from solution‚ and 4) the requisite chemical reactions that contribute to that deposition (Bateman‚ 1967)

Geology Study Guide Chapter 1 Themes of Textbook The Earth is a unique‚ evolving system. Within the Earth System‚ chemical elements pass in cycles between different types of rock and sea‚ rock‚ and air. Plate Tectonics explains many Earth processes. Earth has a core‚ mantle‚ and crust. Measurements: 1 Ka=1 thousand years ago 1 Ma=One million years ago 1 Ga=One billion years ago The Earth is 4.57 billion years old. Big Bang All matter and energy was initially packed into

The Dynamic Crust‚ Earthquakes and the Earth’s Interior Why is the Earth’s crust described as being dynamic? Crust- solid rock outer zone of Earth The crust is part of the lithosphere. The Earth’s crust is dynamic which means constantly changing. Earthquakes Volcanoes Crustal movements along fault zones Other evidence indicates that parts of the Earth’s crust have been moving to different locations for billions of years.

Over 13.5 billions years ago‚ a gigantic explosion produce energy and fundamental particle that created the universe. This mean that all the things that we see today such as rock‚ animal‚ plant‚ water was created during that time. First‚ quark is formed which is proton
