What are the main types of minerals that make up the continental and oceanic plates?
c plates- bedrock and granite o plates- bastlic
Why rocks and minerals important to society?
Minerals are important to the society because minerals can be used to make pots, pans, buildings, counters and plates.
Is the earths crust a solid piece of rock?
No, it is made of rock but it is made up of many plates that move around the place cause earthquakes. The crust is rock but it is not solid all the way around. The plates are called tectonic plates and if you search "tectonic plates of the world" it should tell you where they are and what they are made up of.
How do records of magnetic reversals show that plates move apart?
As the molten material rises and cools, some magnetic minerals line up with the Earth's magnetic field. When the material hardens, the minerals are permanently fixed like tiny compass needles pointing north and south. Whenever the magnetic field reverses, the cooling minerals record the change.
What is the main mineral that Continental and Oceanic plates are made up of?
Continental plates are composed of mainly granitic rock.

What is the mineral type that continental plates are made of?
The majority of the continental plates is composed of SiO2, silicon dioxide, much of it in the form of the feldspar, mica, and quartz minerals.
How are minerals linked to plate tectonics?
Minerals Make up rocks, Which make up the layers of the Earth(Crust, Lithosphere, asthenosphere, and Mantle)(Minerals make up the inner and outter core). The layers of the earth(crust) make up plate tectonics; convection currents and Plates(made of rock)
Why do you find sea minerals on the top of mountains?
The tops of mountains containing fossilized sea organisms and sea minerals were once on the bottom of the ocean floor and were uplifted by the collisions of tectonic plates.
Why do we use streak plates to test minerals?
They show you the true color of the mineral. Small impurities can cause big changes in the color of a mineral.

The plates are called tectonic plates and if you search "tectonic plates of the world" it should tell you where they are and what they are made up of.
How are minerals transported by plants?
Plants employ osmosis to move minerals into plant root cells. To transport minerals to the plant proper, energy is required so active transport is employed.
What is a rock composed of small dark colored minerals arranged into thin plates and sometimes used to make shingles and blackboards?
The metamorphic rock slate.
What minerals are in a car?
The main mineral that is found in car batteries is lead. Water and sulfuric acid are housed inside of plates that are composed of lead oxide and lead.
