Why do some mierals attract magnets?
Those are the minerals, such as iron, which have small magnetic regions (actually called magnetic domains, if I remember correctly) within them - that is, groups of atoms, each of them a tiny magnet, that have a tendency to align, all in the same direction.
How can all types of granite are formed by the same combination of minerals?
No
Can contact with magma change the minerals of a rock?
Yes and do u have the same work sheet as me page 68 and the packet is called what are metamorphic rocks?
Why is the color of the mineral not a reliable test for the identity of the minerals?
Because many different minerals may look the same, Like quartz and diamond, they are the same color, clear, but are very different minerals.
What forms from melted minerals?
ALL minerals crystallise from molten materials. Magma consists of minerals. It is easy to believe that all magma is the same, but magmas are as different as rocks.
How solidified magma comes to be magnetic?
As magma solidifies to form rock, iron-rich minerals in the magma align with Earth's magnetic field in the same way that a compass needle does. When the rock hardens, the magnetic orientation of the minerals becomes permanent. This residual magnetism of rock is called paleomagnetism.

In word can a paragraph be both right aligned and left aligned?
It is called justified alignment. You can not apply both right align and left align at the same time. The option you want is fully-justified alignment.
What is a periodic row?
On the Periodic Table of elements, elements that align horizontally are said to be in the same row, and objects that align vertically are said to be in the same group.
What make a brass not a mineral?
For the same reason that substances like steel are not considered to be minerals. Brass is an alloy of other metals and has to be deliberately created. It's made of other metals, which are not actually minerals themselves either.
Why did devoloping nations often align themselves with one or the other superpower?
to gain position on the world stage! the same reason people make alliances in games like World or Warcraft and such!
How are minerals and rocks the same?
Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are composed of elements.
Can most minerals be identified by color alone?
no, because many of the same minerals have the same color
Are rocks and minerals the same?
Not quite minerals are what rocks are made of
What are the ferromagnetic materials?
It is a material that has small areas called domains that can align to an applied external magnetic field, this establishment is very high compared to the same area of air.
