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 |

The color is always the same |
| Effervescence |
It releases gas bubbles |
| Tenacity |
The way a mineral breaks or becomes deformed under stress |
| Brittle |

| 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 |
