The size and shape of a mineral is known as what?
Size and shape are descriptors of the physical attributes. Others would include colour, lustre, and opacity.
Compare and contrast the energy processing organelle?
To mostly compare the energy processing organelle, you can compare using size.
What determines the mineral grain size in an igneous rock?
The cooling rate of the rock.
When water combines with mineral grains do the grains become smaller or larger?
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
Explain how substitution works in mineral structures?
Ions of similar size can readily substitute for one another without disrupting a mineral's internal framework.
Does the density of a mineral depend on the size on the mineral.?
No, it doesn't.
What is important in the formation of minerals?
Temperature, pressure, and availability of elements all have an impact on the type of mineral formed and the size of its crystals.
Why is mineral texture an important aspect of petrography?
Mineral texture provides clues as to the origin of the rock particles and the processes which lead to the rock's formation. Texture would include the size and arrangement of the mineral crystals or particles found in the body of a rock.
What determines the size of a mineral crystal formed from magma?
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
Vertical analysis is also known as?
Answer:Common-size analysis.
Which mineral is larger a ruby a diamond an emerald or a sapphire?
A mineral is similar to a stone. It size depends on the size one has harvested from the mine/earth/etc.
What are the phyical properties of sand?
Sand has several physical properties. Some of the most important are porosity, mineral composition, grain size, grain shape, and permeability.
How you do a system analysis for a small company?
whatever the the size of company, big or small.... the feasibility analysis and requirement analysis is the central part of system analysis.
The size and shape of a mineral is known as what?

Why is sand not classified as a mineral?
it's a size descriptor
The size of a mineral's crystals depends on which of the following?
everything
Does the density of a mineral depend on the size of the mineral sample?
No, to tell how hard a mineral is you either have to test it or determine what mineral it is. Testing uses materials of known hardness such as a fingernail, or copper penny, or scratch plate, if the mineral is scratched by whatever you use to test it is softer. Hardness however is not based on size it will be the same for any sample of the same rock no matter what the size because its based on atomic arrangement and bond type.
