As the volcanic ash trembled and settled from Earths rocky layers from the crust, electrons start to mix in atoms created by friction. This led to the ability of magnetism to stick to other pieces of this fascinating mineral.

Is magnetite extrusive or intrusive?
Extrusive and intrusive are terms that apply to a type or formative method of igneous rock. Magnetite is not igneous, nor is it a rock. Magnetite is a mineral, formed by the processes of crystallization.
The magnetic iron oxide mineral is called?
magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite
What is the luster magnetite?
Magnetite has a metallic luster.
Is magnetite a silicate?
Magnetite is Iron and Oxygen. So no, it is considered an oxide.
What is the formula of magnetite?
The formula for magnetite is Fe3O4. Magnetite is a mineral found in nature in the form of iron oxides. This ore is a natural magnet.
How is magnetite created?
Magnetite is created through sedimentary rocks. They are also formed by metamorphic rocks. Magnetite is found in underground mining regions.
Is magnetite extrusive or intrusive?
Extrusive and intrusive are terms that apply to a type or formative method of igneous rock. Magnetite is not igneous, nor is it a rock. Magnetite is a mineral, formed by the processes of crystallization.
How is loadstone formed?
Loadstones are a type of magnetite. They were formed by volcanoes many years ago. Loadstones are strong magnets that form naturally.
The magnetic iron oxide mineral is called?
magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite magnetite
What is the word beginning with L for a stone that can be found that is magnetic?
These are known as lodestones (sometimes spelt loadstone) and are formed of the mineral magnetite.
What is the chemical compound for magnetite?
Magnetite is Fe3O4.
What is the diaphaneity of magnetite?
The diaphaneity of magnetite is opaque.
What is the luster magnetite?
Magnetite has a metallic luster.
Where was magnetite found?
Magnetite was found on the mountain of Mount Ida.
What the formula of magnetite?
The formula for magnetite is Fe3O4. Magnetite is a mineral found in nature in the form of iron oxides. This ore is a natural magnet.
Dose magnetite have more cleavage or fracture?
Magnetite has fracture not cleavage. ChaCha on!
What invisible force does the mineral lodestone have?
The mineral lodestone, also known as magnetite, is ferromagnetic, which means that it can be magnetized. Most of the magnetite found on Earth was magnetized by the Earth's magnetic field as the magnetite formed. Most naturally occurring lodestones are magnetized, but the strength of that magnetization is much less than any common magnet and can only be detected with sophisticated equipment. The invisible force is... magnetism.
