Answer |
| Tectonic System | Fission in the core |
| Fission | Large atoms break down into small atoms deep down energy of tectonic. Large mass and atoms to small mass and atoms. |
| Hydrolic System | External forces of water started by the suns energy. |
| Fusion | Small atoms which make large helium atoms |
| Faces | Faces are naturally occuring flat side of a crystal that has six faces |
| Facets | A man made and man cut flat surface |
| Cubic System | There are six faces all at 90 degree angles |
| Native Minerals | Minerals that exist as elements made up of one type of atom and one type of mineral |
| Hackly Fracture | No reason just fractured like a clamshell |
| Conchoidal Fracture | A clamshell like break |
| Luster | How a surface reflects light |
| Habit and Structure | The shape or form a mineral takes in a rock |
| Oolitic | The form hematite takes in a rock |
| Streak | The color of a mineral in its powdered form |
| Inherent Coloration | The color is always the same |
| Effervescence | It releases gas bubbles |
| Tenacity | The way a mineral breaks or becomes deformed under stress |
| Brittle | Shatters under stress |
| Malleable | Hammered into a thin sheet |
| Flexible | Will bend but not regain original shape |
| Elastic | Will bend and regain shape as it pops back |
| Flourescence | Certain minerals glow with unexpected colors under UV lights |
| Double Refraction | Image is doubled |
| Mohr' Scale | The scale on which the hardness of minerals is tested |
| Metallic and Nonmetallic | They are lusters which is how a surface reflects light |
| Pisolitic | A rock with a texture with tiny spherical masses in it |
