How do you compare and contrast rocks and minerals?

You can put a Venn Diagram and on top of 1 side you can put rock and on top of another side you put minerals and the middle part is how both are alike. Then you write how minerals are different then rocks on the minerals side and write how rocks are different on the rock side.


In an undeformed sequence of rocks the youngest rocks are found?

On top of the sequence, or closest to the surface. This is due to the principle of superposition, which states that in a sequence of undeformed sedimentary rocks, the youngest rocks are on top while the oldest rocks are at the bottom.


What is the source for the mineral material found in soil?

This depends on what soil you are talking about. Different minerals are found in different places throughout the world. I live near a beach so I obtain my minerals from both the Ocean water, which I use to help cultivate the soil, and I utilize pulverized Sea Shells as minerals which I sprinkle over the top of the soil.


How can older rocks be found on top of younger rocks in a cross-section?

This can happen due to the process of tectonic activity, where older rocks are pushed up and over younger rocks during mountain-building events, known as thrust faults. As a result, the relative positions of rocks are altered, with older rocks ending up on top of younger rocks in the Earth's crust.


In rock layers what is usually found at the bottom?

In rock layers, the oldest rocks are typically found at the bottom. This is due to the principle of superposition, which states that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the oldest rocks are deposited first and are at the bottom, while the youngest rocks are at the top.

How many minerals known to man are common on the crust of the earth?

My geological dictionary lists more than 7500 entries. Of which more than 10% will be discrete minerals. There is a list of the top 20 by composition, but that is a matter of opinion and location.
