Why do some mierals attract magnets?
Those are the minerals, such as iron, which have small magnetic regions (actually called magnetic domains, if I remember correctly) within them - that is, groups of atoms, each of them a tiny magnet, that have a tendency to align, all in the same direction.
Can contact with magma change the minerals of a rock?
Yes, contact with magma can alter the minerals of a rock through a process called contact metamorphism. This occurs when the heat and fluids from the magma interact with the surrounding rock, causing recrystallization of minerals and the formation of new minerals.
How can all types of granite are formed by the same combination of minerals?
No
Why is the color of the mineral not a reliable test for the identity of the minerals?
Because many different minerals may look the same, Like quartz and diamond, they are the same color, clear, but are very different minerals.
What physical property is is unreliable as an identification clue for minerals?
Color is unreliable as an identification clue for minerals because different minerals can have the same color and the same mineral can exhibit different colors due to impurities.
What is the parallel alignment of minerals that have been stressed?
The parallel alignment of minerals due to stress is called foliation. Foliation results from the deformation of minerals under pressure, causing them to align in the same direction. This alignment gives the rock a layered or banded appearance.
How does solidified magma come to be magnetic?
As magma solidifies to form rock, iron-rich minerals in the magma align with Earth's magnetic field in the same way that a compass needle does. When the rock hardens, the magnetic orientation of the minerals becomes permanent. This residual magnetism of rock is called paleomagnetism.

do I have to have two of the same front tires to align it?

In word can a paragraph be both right aligned and left aligned?
It is called justified alignment. You can not apply both right align and left align at the same time. The option you want is fully-justified alignment.
What make a brass not a mineral?
For the same reason that substances like steel are not considered to be minerals. Brass is an alloy of other metals and has to be deliberately created. It's made of other metals, which are not actually minerals themselves either.
Why did devoloping nations often align themselves with one or the other superpower?
to gain position on the world stage! the same reason people make alliances in games like World or Warcraft and such!
What is a periodic row?
On the Periodic Table of elements, elements that align horizontally are said to be in the same row, and objects that align vertically are said to be in the same group.
How are minerals and rocks the same?
Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are composed of elements.
Can most minerals be identified by color alone?
no, because many of the same minerals have the same color
Are rocks and minerals the same?
Not quite minerals are what rocks are made of
