☆☆☆☆☆The metamorphic process is the conversion of one mineral into another through heat and pressure over time. The metamorphic process is the conversion of one mineral into another through heat and pressure over time.
There are three methods of intrusive igneous rock formation. Igneous rock can form at mid ocean ridges, subduction zones, and at the continental crust if it is pushed together.
Early organisms created oxygen from other gases in the atmosphere.
More specifically, the methane atmosphere on Earth was supplanted by oxygen generated by microorganisms in the oceans. Today, the vast majority of our oxygen comes from the ocean - mainly plants. Earth came to have a oxygen atmostphere because that is the way God invisoned it, so thats how he made it.

Intrusive rocks form within the crust of the Earth while extrusive rocks form on the surface.

Five physical characteristics of a mineral are: hardness, luster, diaphaneity, colour, and streak.
Quartz is and is also a mineral
The type of force that exists for every other force is the reactive force whereby for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction
The geological processes, that are involved in changing igneous rock to sedimentary rock are; weathering, erosion, deposition and compaction.
