For simple identification purposes you should ask: what is the hardness of the mineral compared to other minerals; what is the color (streak) of the mineral when scratched on an unglazed porcelain ceramic surface; and does the mineral react with dilute hydrochloric acid or vinegar, indicating whether or not it's a carbonate mineral. Other identifiers would be the mineral's specific gravity, lustre, and crystal classification.
Studying rocks and minerals is important because they provide clues about Earth's history, the environment, and processes such as volcanic activity and mountain formation. Understanding rocks and minerals can also help in identifying valuable resources and in environmental conservation efforts.
Minerals are naturally made resources. To figure out if something is a mineral, simply ask yourself these questions:1. Is it a solid? [minerals cant be gases or liquids]2. Is it formed in nature? [Crystalline materials made by people aren't classified as minerals]3. Is it nonliving material? [ A mineral is inorganic, meaning it isn't made of living things.]4.Does it have a Crystalline structure? [ Minerals form crystals, which have a repeating inner structure that is often reflected in the shape of the crystal. Minerals generally have the same chemical composition throughout.]
Arkose typically has a luster ranging from dull to earthy due to its composition of quartz, feldspar, and other minerals. On the Mohs scale of hardness, arkose has a hardness of around 6-7, depending on the specific mineral content and composition.
Hydrogen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 1.
Yes, ilmenite and rutile are sources of titanium, not iron. They are titanium-bearing minerals commonly found in beach sands.
You can only list three categories on WikiAnswers questions because a single question should only relate to a maximum of three categories.For example, if you ask "What is the population of Canada?", it would go under Canada.If you ask "What is the population of Canada and what are the rules to Canadian basketball?", it would go under more than three categories. But, you should only ask one question in a single question, and not multiple questions in a single question (as shown here).(See Related Question.)
you would ask this question to see if someone answered it. which is yes.
Then nobody would ask this question.Then nobody would ask this question.Then nobody would ask this question.Then nobody would ask this question.
I am trying to ask a question preferably three sentences +, but all I can do is answer questions! Can someone help?
if man new the answer to the question how would there be a question at all if man already knew the question to ask the answer would life die?
If you ask a question You would want an answer
If you were to ask me for sex my answer would be to inform you that your genes had already done that for you. This is indeed the answer to your first question.
Because you can.
obvious, hes trying to ask you out LOL heheh
do you want to hook up?
It depends on WHICH mountain. Each mountain is composed of different types of rock and minerals from the Earth.Some of these include:QuartzGraniteFeldsparGemstonesGoldKaolinAnd many more.For the minerals of a specific mountain, re-ask the question with the name of the mountain.
