Are minerals made by humans?
No, minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances that are formed in the Earth's crust through geological processes. Humans can extract and refine minerals for various uses, but they cannot create them from scratch.
Do minerals make up elements?
No, minerals are compounds made up of various elements. Elements are the simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Minerals are composed of specific combinations of elements that define their unique properties.
What are the two kinds of substances?
The two types of substances are pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are made of only one type of particle and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means, while mixtures are made of two or more different substances that are physically combined and can be separated by physical means.
Are living things described as organic or inorganic?
Living things are described as organic because they are made up of complex organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements essential for life. Inorganic compounds, on the other hand, do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are found in non-living matter like minerals and gases.
Non-living substances made up of one or more minerals are known as?

What is a solid mineral made up of one or more minerals or other substances including the remains of once living things called?
A rock. E.g. Conglomerate-Quartz(sometimes) Gabbro-Augite, Mica Limestone-calcite(made up of dead underwater creatures) Relict features in carbonates are known as allochems and can be lithics or fossils. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, like elements are the building blocks of minerals, that said rocks can be made up of entirely one element or mineral.
