MINERALS
-
-
-
-
minerals are divided into two groups based on their composition: Silicate minerals and a non silicate minerals
-
ROCKS
When a river starts to slow down all the rocks, pebbles and sediments drop to the river bed, over time more sediments accumulate. Their weight presses and sticks them together, and sedimentary rock is formed.
Igneous rock forms when hot molten rock cools and hardens. There are two main types: extrusive (these form when magma flows onto the earths surface) and intrusive (these form from magma below the earths surface in the crust)
Existing rocks that are subjected to large amounts of heat and/or pressure can change into another type of rock called metamorphic rock.
There are three basic types of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

HOW MINERALS ARE FORMED
-
there are many different minerals which depend on the which elements are present in the area on which they form
-
Minerals can form as magma cools, by metamorphism or by solutions
-new minerals are formed when temperature and pressure break and reform bonds between atoms :atom_symbol:
-
-when water evaporates the substances in the water turn into solids and come out of solution. :potable_water:
Minerals can also form from hot water solutions, as hot water cools the substances it has dissolved can form into minerals

-
CRYSTALS
a crystal's shape is determined by the kind of atoms or molecules that makes up the mineral and the conditions under which it forms
is a solid, geometric form that results from a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules
