Geological surveying.

Light, carbon dioxide supply, temperature, water supply, availability of minerals
- the physical nature of the components- the chemical nature of the components- the amount of the mixture- the availability of necessary devices and materials for separation- the price of componentsetc.
Phosphates from detergents enter streams with run-off.
The minerals that make up a rock determine how fast it weathers to a large extent. This is mainly true when it comes to chemical weathering.
The hardness of minerals.
It's used to determine the hardness of minerals - from talc (1) to diamond (10).
Mohs and Fields
A streak test is used to determine a minerals streak color. This can help in the identification of minerals.
The Mohs scale is used to determine the relative hardness of minerals.
A geologic survey to determine depth, amounts, and direction of ore bearing minerals.
There are no exacting standards to determine the value of minerals
The color and type of feldspar minerals largely determine the color of a particular granite.
A streak test is used to determine a minerals streak color. This can help in with the identification of minerals. A streak test is performed by rubbing the mineral on an unglazed ceraminc tile, then observing the color of the streak which is left behind. All minerals do not leave streaks. Harder minerals will not streak, but this can also be used as a tool for identifying the mineral, if you are familiar with the hardness scale.
supply and demand?
These minerals are quartz, feldspar, mica, and usually hornblende.
