Welcome back to Project Taakif! 💎🪨
In this session of our UPSC Geography Series, we break down Chapter 5: Minerals and Rocks. The Earth’s crust is composed of various elements that combine to form minerals, which in turn form the rocks we see around us. Understanding the composition and classification of rocks is essential for mastering topics like landform development, soil formation, and economic geography—all key areas for the UPSC Prelims and Mains.
📖 What you will learn in this video:
What is a Mineral? Understanding the chemical and physical properties of minerals.
Physical Characteristics: A detailed look at Cleavage, Fracture, Lustre, Color, Streak, and Hardness (Mohs Scale).
Major Minerals of Earth’s Crust: Deep dive into Feldspar, Quartz, Pyroxene, Mica, and Olivine.
Metallic vs. Non-Metallic Minerals: Distinguishing between precious and industrial resources.
Classification of Rocks:
Igneous Rocks: The "Primary Rocks" (Intrusive vs. Extrusive).
Sedimentary Rocks: The result of lithification (Mechanical, Organic, and Chemical).
Metamorphic Rocks: Formation under pressure and temperature (Foliation and Lineation).
The Rock Cycle: How rocks continuously transform from one type to another over geological time.
