Earth Materials encompass the minerals, rocks, soil, and water that constitute our planet and the physical, chemical, and biological processes that produce them. Since the expansion of computer technology in the last two decades of the twentieth century, many universities have compressed or eliminated individual course offerings such as mineralogy, optical mineralogy, igneous petrology, sedimentology, and metamorphic petrology and replaced them with Earth materials courses. Earth materials courses have become an essential curricular component in the fields of geology, geoscience, Earth science, engineering geology, environmental geology, and many related areas of study. This textbook is designed to address the needs of a one or two semester Earth materials course. It can also serve as a text for those individuals who want or need an expanded background in minerals, rocks, soils, and water resources.
