What is the ordered arrangement of rock layers called?
Petrology.
What do you call a mineral without crystals?
most minerals have a distinctive crystal arrangement. those minerals that do not have their atoms arranged in crystals are called amorphous minerals.
What is a regular repeating arrangement of atoms within a rock called?
A regular repeating arrangement of atoms within a rock is called a crystal lattice. This lattice gives crystals their characteristic shape and internal structure, which can be seen under a microscope or macroscopically.
Are all minerals salty?
no. The rock called rocksalt is salty.
How many minerals on the periodic table?
This is a nonsensical question. Minerals are solid, crystalline, inorganic molecules. They are made of elements, and so elements are obviously not made of minerals.
What is a rock that contains minerals called?
A rock containing minerals is called an ore.answ2. A Mineral is defined as "A naturally occurring, homogeneous solid, with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement."An Ore on the other hand, is "A metalliferous mineral or aggregate of metalliferous minerals mixed with a gangue (unwanted material) and that can be exploited at a profit."

What is arrangement of soil particales called?
what is a rock formation that is the source of soil
What are two or more minerals combined called?
A rock.

A regular repeating arrangement of atoms within a rock is called a crystal lattice. This lattice gives crystals their characteristic shape and internal structure, which can be seen under a microscope or macroscopically.
Explain the difference between texture and composition in rock identification?
Composition would refer to the material and minerals that compose the rock. Texture refers to the arrangement and size of those materials.
What is a mixture of minerals mineraloids glass or organic matter?
A mixture of minerals, mineraloids, glass, or organic matter called rock. The rock cycle is the model showing the three types of rocks and how they are formed.
