What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the fertility of soil if all decomposers were removed?
It would be a mineral it would no longer be soil!!lol ha ha i got to ansower this
Do a mineral have to be formed by a manufactured process to be considered a mineral?
No, indeed the contrary. A mineral is defined as a "naturally occurring, homogeneous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement." So, a material such as tungsten carbide which is only man-made (as far as I know), would not be classified as a mineral.
The most common mineral group in Earth's crust is?
I would assume it would be igneous due to the massive amounts of magma in the earth's crust.
What weather is most likely to result in erosion?
very bad t storms would be most likely to cause erosion. so would snow
What observation about an igneous rock would support the inference that the rock cooled slowly underground?
The rock would have visible mineral crystals--a phaneritic texture.
What applications of remote-sensing technology would most likely be useful to both the fields of meteorology and forestry?
detection of mineral deposits
What mineral hs a greasy luster when uncut?
Sphalerite is a mineral that can exhibit a greasy luster when uncut. It is a zinc sulfide mineral that can vary in color and is commonly found in ore deposits.
What is the physical environment in which mineral deposits are found?
Mineral deposits are found in various physical environments such as mountains, volcanic regions, sedimentary basins, and underwater hydrothermal vents. These environments are typically associated with geological processes like tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, erosion, and hydrothermal activity, which concentrate minerals to form deposits. The specific characteristics of each environment, such as temperature, pressure, and chemical conditions, play a key role in determining the types of minerals that are deposited.
During the Permian Period sedimentary bedrock in the Appalachian Region was subjected to high temperature and pressure Calcite deposits that had existed in this environment would most likely have fo?
The calcite deposits would likely have undergone metamorphism, transforming into marble due to the high heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone or dolomite, which are composed primarily of calcite. This process changes the mineral composition and texture of the rock.
Why is our limestone coping on our saltwater pool turning white?
It sounds like you are describing efflorescence or a mineral deposit. It would be easier if you send a photo. If it is at the water line it's most likely calcium deposits. If it's at the edge of the pool it's most likely due to water seeping out. (efflorescence)
What is a long narrow deposits of a mineral in rock?
A long narrow deposit of a mineral in rock is typically referred to as a vein. Veins are formed when minerals are transported by fluids and deposited in cracks or fissures within existing rock formations. These deposits can be valuable sources of various minerals and metals.
What feature would you most likely find near stream and river beds?
Placer deposits.
What mineral forms in large enough deposits to be considered rock?
Limestone, mainly calcite, would be one mineral assembly that forms massive deposits. Diatomaceous earth , the silica shells of minute creatures is another. Iron oxides; some formed as a result of the discovery of photosynthesis by algae; forms huge banded iron deposits of great commercial consequence.
What will form when a stalactite and stalagmite joined?
When a stalactite and stalagmite join, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral deposits from dripping water from the stalactite unite with the mineral deposits growing up from the stalagmite, eventually creating a solid column structure.
What kind of test is it when you scratch a mineral with a nail?
Most likely you would be testing to see if the mineral was harder or softer than the nail.
What would happen if your kettle was not descaled?
If a kettle is not descaled regularly, mineral deposits from hard water can build up and reduce its efficiency. This can lead to longer boiling times, increased energy consumption, and potentially damage the heating element over time. The mineral deposits can also affect the taste of the water boiled in the kettle.
Which one of these categories would most likely be found in the operating budget of a day care center?
deposits for utility services
