Minerals often take on specific geometric crystal shapes, such as a cube or other polygon. The reason is because minerals are formed with different combinations of atoms or molecules. Different arrangements of these atoms display different geometric crystal shapes.
How these atoms and molecules are arranged depends on what kind of atoms or molecules make up the mineral. The same group of atoms or molecules can be arranged in different ways and can end up as different types of minerals. Examining this crystal structure is the most accurate way to identify different minerals since the crystal structure is specific to each mineral.
The molecules of the minerals and their solidification into crystals under specific conditions of temperature, solute concentrates, etc.

Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
What is the descending action of a story?
The events of a dramatic or narrative plot following the climax.
What role does weather and erosion have in the change of igneous rock to sediment?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).

Is this phrase from Star Wars true fear leads to anger...anger leads to hate...hate leads to suffering?
Yes.
How does ice drops come from sky?

What characteristic of a supercell would contribute to tornado formation?
The rotation in a supercell is what leads to tornado formation.
Which phenomenon leads to the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Heat and pressure lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks.

This treatment often leads to misery linking or action verb?
This treatment often leads to misery. The verb 'leads' is a linking verb (treatment>misery).
How were the present day land-form features form?
the presents day landforms are formed due to action of the excreta of indian people. They URINATE on road side which leads to formation of La
How does freezethaw effect rocks?
Freeze/thaw cycles expand existing fissures in existing rock by the expansion caused by ice crystal formation. This leads to further erosion of the rock by freeze/thaw and chemical weathering from rainwater.
What process leads to formation of thick salt deposits?
Evaperation.
What leads to the formation of clouds?
evaporation from the ocean is carried up to the clouds.
Is climax the rising action?
No, climax is what the rising action leads up to.
