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.
How can older rocks be found on top of younger rocks in a cross-section?
If the strata layers are folded or tilted then the older rocks can be found on top of the younger rocks in a cross-section.
Where are the youngest rocks found?
usually the youngest rocks are found on the top of the earths crust
In observing rock layers I am usually found on the bottom What are you?
Old rocks! New or young rocks are at the top!
Why is coal found in layers?
Because all the minerals piled on top of it and pressed down on it so they all squish on top on it

The diamond is the hardest mineral and is the state mineral of Arkansas.

Mafic minerals are often found near the bottom of a pluton and felsic minerals near the top what process is this because of?
The process is painful love. When the mafic minerals fall in love with the felsic minerals they fall to the bottom. The felsic is often there too and sees the minerals falling toward them so they scared to be in love again and go to the top. This makes the mafic mad and it stays there. The felsic is afraid to go back and stays on the top. :( <333 love hurts If I remember my geology, plutons are considered intrusions, and reflect the mineral composition of the magma they were formed from. That being said, what minerals are present in a pluton are directly a result of what they were made from, and the minerals condense out following Bowen's Reaction series. This means mafic minerals condense out at a higher temp and higher pressure, so as the pluton continues to intrude, it cools and depressurizes. Thus minerals lower in the reaction series cool and crystallize before the felsic minerals towards the top. You can also find contact metamorphic rocks on the edges of plutons. Some of these may wrongfully appear to be mafic rocks like Olivine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowen's_reaction_series
