Abstract

In this chapter, we draw inspiration from the study of Earth structures and materials, as well as processes and forces that change these structures, which is the core of the domain of physical geology. We examine minerals, main types of rocks, gems, and other more mundane earth baubles, the rock cycle, and processes that change the structure of the minerals. Projects are aimed at linking these physical and chemical processes and events with our ambient surroundings and personal perceptions of our own experiences.
