Why is the ice in a glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river in not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier is solid and has a definite chemical structure and water does not because water is liquid.
Why is ice in a glacier considers to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
Water is not considered a mineral because it does not meet the requirement of having a solid crystalline structure. Ice does meet this criterion and therefore, it is considered a mineral.
Is water a mineral and why?
Water cannot be considered a mineral because it is a liquid, however ice can be considered a mineral as long as it occurred naturally like from water dripping down your roof, and freezing. trust me- i had the same question on a chem. test and got it right.

Why is the ice in a glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.
