What is a mineral replacement?
GeologyMineral replacement is the underlying process in the rock cycle of the Earth. The long time-scale of geological processes has frequently led to the assumption that the mechanism of mineral reequilibration is by slow reactions achieved by solid-state diffusion through crystal structures. Which of the following is an example of mineral replacement? Replacement. In some

Can you drive to the top of Mount Saint Helena?
GeologyHelena Trail, an old logging road that climbs to the summit over about four miles. Note your turn-off point or you might miss it on the way back. While the wide dirt road to the summit lacks the appeal of a single-track trail, the eye-popping views of the terrain below are a welcome trade-off. Can
