crystalline structure. Native minerals are single elements. Compounds are 2 or more. There are more compound than native. You can identify minerals by color‚ streak‚ luster‚ hardness‚ cleavage‚ and fracture. Minerals form by magma erupting and forming lava then cooling. They can also form by evaporation of water containing dissolved ions. Silicates are the most common group of minerals found in the earth’s crust. The structure of minerals are orderly. They form crystalline. A crystalline has flat

In 2016‚ the Oxford Dictionary chose post-truth as the word of the year‚ due to the popularity it gained in Political Science literature.

helping to form the volcanoes that created those islands. At the south of the island group‚ many volcanoes are still active‚ while those to the north are mainly dormant. The reason for this is that the Pacific Plate is moving north over a stationary lava source (mantle plume) below Hawaii. The south islands remain above it‚ while the northern islands have moved away.The Oceanic crusts are tend to be youngest at the centre of ocean basins and along mid-ocean ridges‚ or along submarine ridges where new

I personally prefer a cast- iron four burner gas grill‚ with a metal grating between the burners and cooking grate that allows me to add lava rocks or ceramic briquettes. A couple reasons I like gas grills so much is it’s simplicity and temperature control. Gas grills are easy to use‚ from the automatic start and shut off‚ to the minimal clean up and low maintenance. Also‚ gas grills heat

Continental drift The broad shape of Australia and its distinctive landforms have been influenced over long periods by earth movements that cause the breaking and bending of the Earth’s crust. Geographers call these movements tectonic processes. The Earth’s crust is made up of many individual moving pieces called tectonic plates. There are nine large plates and about a dozen smaller ones. The larger plates contain the continents and oceans. These plates ‘float’ on the dense layer of rock below
