Remember that there arefive characteristics of minerals: they are solid, natural, and inorganic with an orderedinternal structure and specific chemical composition.Wood: Not a mineralQuartz: MineralGranite: Not a mineralDiamond: MineralGlass: Not a mineralJelly bean: Not a mineralKidney stone: Not a mineralSalt water: Not a mineralPyrite: MineralThe following are not minerals: wood (organic, lack of ordered internal structure), granite(rock rather than a mineral, so no specific chemical composition), glass (as an amorphoussolid, glass has no ordered internal structure), jelly beans (not natural), kidney stones(organic) and salt water (liquid, not solid).After reading pages 76‐79 in Exploring Geology 3rd edition (74‐77 in 2ndedition, 76‐79 in 1 edition), summarize what you think are the threemost important concepts. Use complete sentences.Our landscapes are made up of various types of rocks and minerals that vary inappearance, strength, rareness, and density.There are key characteristics that must be present for something to be considered aMineral (natural, inorganic, have an ordered internal structure, and specific chemicalcomposition) The ways minerals are put together in rocks will actually vary the appearance andtexture of the rockstYou are logged in as Jonathan Kluger (Log out)Answers will vary, but may look something like what's below. A proper summary shouldinclude 12 details about each concept.1) Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals are made of elements.2) A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline solid with a relatively consistentcomposition.3) There are two types of rocks; crystalline rocks which are usually made in hightemp.environments and clastic rocks which are made in lowtemp. environments mostly at or nearthe earth's surface.Comment:Finish
