Lode (Mineralogy 💎)

In geology, a lode is a deposit of metalliferous ore that fills or is embedded in a fracture in a rock formation or a vein of ore that is deposited or embedded between layers of rock. The current meaning dates from the 17th century, being an expansion of an earlier sense of a "channel, watercourse" in Late Middle English, which in turn is from the 11th-century meaning of lode as a "course...

Mineralization (geology) (Mineralogy 💎)

In geology, mineralization is the deposition of economically important metals in the formation of ore bodies or "lodes" by various process. The first scientific studies of this process took place in the English county of Cornwall by J.W.Henwood FRS and later by R.W. Fox, FRS. The term can also refer to the process by which waterborne miner...

Geobotanical prospecting (Phytogeography 🌱)

Geobotanical prospecting refers to prospecting based on the composition and health of surrounding botanical life to identify potential resource deposits. Using a variety of techniques, including indicator plant identification, remote sensing and determining the physical and chemical condition of the botanical life i...
