crystal structure a crystal is a solid, goemetric form that result from a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules
color the hue of a mineral (not a good way to identifiy a mineral)
streak the color of a minerals powder
luster the way a mineral reflects light
clevage a way that a mineral breaks, smooth and have flat surfaces
fracture a way that a mineral breaks, in no form or pattern, unevenly
density the amount of matter in a given amount of space
hardness the minerals resistence to being scratched
special properties special properties (naturally magnetic, double image...etc...)
alloy a solid mixture of 2 or more elements, at least 1 is a metal
ore a rock that contains a metalor other useful mineral that can be sold for profit
what are the 3 types of mines? open pit, strip, and shaft mines
open pit mine miner use giant earth moving equitment to dig a tremendous pit and remove ore deposits

how does an igneous rock form and what are the 2 subgroups? when magma and lava cool and the 2 subgroups are extrusive and intrusive
how does metamorphic rock form and what are the subgroups? it forms through heat and pressure, and the 2 groups and non-foliated(without parallel bands) and foliated( with parallel bands)
how does sedimentary rock form and what are the subgroups? sedimantary rock goes through the processes of weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation, and compaction and the subgrougs are clastic, chemical and organic
organic sedimentary rock sedimentary rock that formed from living or once living things
clastic sedimentary rock formed when sediments buried compacted and cemented together by calcite or quartz
chemical sedimentary rock formed when when water, usually seawater, evaporates
what are the processes in which ignous rock forms? melting and cooling
what are the processes in which metamorphic rock forms? heat presure and chemical reaction
what are the processes in which sedimentary rock forms? weathering erosion deposition compaction cementation
