Resource Geology

Synopsis

Looks at the distribution of elements and how they are concentrated or diluted in the most commonly occurring forms found on earth. Demonstrates the circular nature of the rock cycle, starting with igneous rocks such as granite, then the process of producing sedimentary rocks including limestone, evaporites and vein mineralisation, and finally metamorphic rocks - the product of melting granite.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
