Interbedding (Petrology 💎)
In geology, interbedding occurs when beds of a particular lithology lie between or alternate with beds of a different lithology. For example, sedimentary rocks may be interbedded if there were sea level variations in their sedimentary depositional environment. Intercalation is a special case of interbedding where a layer is variably inserted into an already existing s...

Symplectite (Petrology 💎)
A symplectite is a material texture: a micrometre-scale or submicrometre-scale intergrowth of two or more crystals. Symplectites form from the breakdown of unstable phases, and may be composed of minerals, ceramics, or metals. Fundamentally, their formation is the result of slow grain-boundary diffusion relative to interface propagation rate. If a ...

Recent laboratory findings reveal that Mercury's magmas stay molten at significantly lower temperatures than Earth's due to the planet's unique chemical composition, which is highly reduced, iron-poor, and sulfur-rich.

Facies (Petrology 💎)
In geology, a facies is a body of rock with distinctive characteristics. The characteristics can be any observable attribute of rocks and the changes that may occur in those attributes over a geographic area. A facies encompasses all the characteristics of a rock including its chemical, physical, and biological features that distinguish it from adjacent rock. The term "facies" was i...

Iron–nickel alloy (Petrology 💎)
An iron–nickel alloy or nickel–iron alloy, abbreviated FeNi or NiFe, is a group of alloys consisting primarily of the elements nickel and iron. It is the main constituent of the "iron" planetary cores and iron meteorites. In chemistry, the acronym NiFe refers to an iron–nickel catalyst or component involved in various chemical reactions...

Lens (geology) (Petrology 💎)
In geology, a lens or lentil is a body of ore or rock that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges, resembling a convex lens in cross-section. To thin out in all directions is to "lens out", also known as "lensing". The adjectives "lenticular" and "lentiform" are used to describe lens-like formations. Lenticle is a synonym for lentil, but may also refer to a fragment of rock that...

K-U ratio (Volcanology 🌋)
The K/U Ratio is the ratio of a slightly volatile element, potassium, to a highly refractory element, uranium. It is a useful way to measure the presence of volatile elements on planetary surfaces. The K/U ratio helps explain the evolution of the planetary system and the origin of Earth's Moon.

Joint (geology) (Geology terminology ⛰️)
In geology, and more specifically in structural geology, a joint is a break of natural origin in a layer or body of rock that lacks visible or measurable movement parallel to the surface of the fracture. Although joints can occur singly, they most frequently appear as joint sets and systems. A joint set is a family of parallel, evenly spaced joints...

Macrocrystalline (Petrology 💎)
In geology, macrocrystalline rocks have crystals large enough to easily be identified by sight with the naked eye. Macrocrystalline rocks can be further subdivided into fine-grained, medium-grained, large-grained, and coarse-grained rock, where fine-grained rocks have a grain size of less than 1 mm, medium-grained rocks have a grain size of 1 to 5 mm, large-grained rocks ...

Fluid inclusion (Petrology 💎)
A fluid inclusion is a bubble of liquid and/or gas that is trapped within a crystal. As minerals often form from a liquid or aqueous medium, tiny bubbles of that liquid can become trapped within the crystal, or along healed crystal fractures. These inclusions usually range in size from 0.01 mm to 1 mm and are only visible in detail by microscopic study, however s...

Euhedral and anhedral (Petrology 💎)
Euhedral and anhedral are terms used to describe opposite properties in the formation of crystals. Euhedral crystals are those that are well-formed, with sharp, easily recognised faces. The opposite is anhedral, which describes rock with a microstructure composed of mineral grains that have no well-formed crystal faces or cross-section shap...

Point counting (geology) (Geology ⛰️)
In geology, point counting is a method to determine the proportion of an area that is covered by some objects of interest. In most cases the area is a thin section or a polished slab. The objects of interest vary between subdisciplines and can for example be quartz or feldspar grains in sedimentology, any type...

Microcracks in rock (Petrology 💎)
Microcracks in rock, also known as microfractures and cracks, are spaces in rock with the longest length of 1000 μm and the other two dimensions of 10 μm. In general, the ratio of width to length of microcracks is between 10−3 to 10−5. Due to the scale, microcracks are observed using microscope to obtain their basic characteristics. Microcrack ...
