A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent?
A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is said to be malleable. This is one of the main properties of metals.
What is hydrophonics and the ophrastus?
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, mineral wool, or coconut husk.
Why are streak plates used to test minerails?
Scratching a mineral across a streak plate will result in a streak which represents the true color of a mineral without impurities or inclusions that can influence a particular specimen's color.

The 'streak' color is one characteristic of a mineral which will aid in its identification.
