Why was the discovery of mid ocean ridges important to geologists studying continental drift?
When molten lava is coming out of the mid-ocean ridges, it turns to solid rock. The solid rock pushes the land that's already there, so more land will come. That separates the continents, so it was important for geologists to study that.
Which mineral is harder galena or magnetite?
magnetite is harder than galena. Magnetite has a hardness just under glass, so around 5. Galena sits at around 4 on mohs hardness scale
What is the diaphaneity of magnetite?
The diaphaneity of magnetite is opaque.
Which mineral has a metallic luster a black streak and is an ore of iron galena graphite pyroxene magnetite?
The mineral you are describing is magnetite. It possesses a metallic luster, a black streak, and is an important ore of iron. Magnetite is known for its magnetic properties and is commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
What are index and what do geologists learn from them?
Index fossils are very important to geologists because they identify geological. The fossil snail is a particularly difficult animal to study.
Is magnetite found near gold?
Yes, magnetite can be found near gold deposits, as both minerals can form in similar geological environments. Magnetite is an iron oxide that often occurs in igneous and metamorphic rocks, which can also host gold mineralization. However, the presence of magnetite does not guarantee the presence of gold, as the two minerals have different formation processes and are not directly related. Geologists often consider the presence of various minerals, including magnetite, when exploring for gold.
What minerals are important in ores of iron?
Magnetite, hematite, and limonite.Hematite ....... I think?
What important mineral was found in Arizona?
a rock called Magnetite. :3

Why is the theory of plate tectonic so important to geologists?
because it gives scientists a way to study and predict geologic events.
Which mineral is harder galena or magnetite?
magnetite is harder than galena. Magnetite has a hardness just under glass, so around 5. Galena sits at around 4 on mohs hardness scale
Is magnetite a silicate?
Magnetite is Iron and Oxygen. So no, it is considered an oxide.
The magnetic iron oxide mineral is called?
Magnetite is the magnetic iron oxide mineral. It is a black or brown mineral with a chemical formula Fe3O4, and it is a common iron ore mineral found in many rocks and soils around the world. It is known for its strong magnetic properties.
What is the diaphaneity of magnetite?
The diaphaneity of magnetite is opaque.
What is the chemical compound for magnetite?
Magnetite is Fe3O4.
