2. Earth materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_materials

   Rammed earth is more often considered for use in walls, although it can also be used for floors. Rammed earth and caliche block can be used for structural walls, and offer great potential as low-cost material alternatives with low embodied energy. In addition, such materials are fireproof. Caliche block and rammed earth can be produced on-site.

6. Economic geology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_geology

   Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and industrial purposes. These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals and construction-grade stone. Economic geology is a subdiscipline of the geosciences; according to Lindgren (1933) it is “the application of geology”.

7. Geochemical cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geochemical_cycle

   Flux in geochemical cycles is the movement of material between the deep Earth and the surface reservoirs. This occurs through two different processes: volcanism and subduction of tectonic plates . Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate and sinks into the ...
