What is the general shape of a mineral?
There is no general shape of a mineral. Each mineral has its own shape, even though two different minerals might have the same shape. A few examples of shapes of minerals are: Rhomboid, rock, and cubic.
What name is applied to the geometric and symmetrical shape of minerals?
metallic
What is a copy of the shape of an organism?
Its a Mold a Cast is when a mold becomes filled in with hardened minerals
Why can you have a shape with different perimeters but the same area?
they are different because perimeter is the out side of the shape and area is inside of the shape.
How to calculate area of vessel?
Depends on the shape of the vessel. Different shape, different formula.
How do rocks differ in shape?
Rocks differ in shape. The shape of rocks depend on the shape of the minerals that compose them. Rocks may be round or angular.
Some examples og nonsilicate minerals arr copper fluorite and?
Nonsensical minerals is rocks. These comes in different shape and size and colors.
Why can two rocks look very different even though they have the same minerals?
The two rocks in question may have different percentages of the same minerals, or their method of formation could be different, which can affect the shape and size of the mineral grains. Trace minerals in the two rocks could also alter their appearance, as well as the amount of weathering the rocks have been exposed to.
Do sedimentary rocks have different types of rocks mixed in them?
Sedimentary rock does have different type of rock because when shells,sand, and soil pick up and become rock that combination can make 100 different types of rocks because of the minerals,size,and shape.
Component that changes in size or shape when metamorphic rocks are formed?
Minerals(inorganic solids with a crystalline structure) change in size or shape under the intense heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
What type of sedimentary rock is from fragments of minerals or rocks?
Conglomerate or Breccia. You'd have to specify the shape of the fragments and types of minerals.
Why are there so many types of rocks?
Different rock are made by the many different events that lead to their creation. Other rock just have different amounts and types of minerals, creating different rock with hardness, texture, color, and shape patterns.
How are rocks different.?
they are different in characteristics, streak, color, texture, shape and hardness
How are crystals different from rocks?
A crystal is a structure. A mineral is a material. A crystal is a regular arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a solid. This regular internal structure leads to a geometrically regular external shape. Sodium chloride (common salt) crystals, for example, are cubic. A mineral is any element or compound, normally occurring naturally as crystals. Rocks consist of two or more minerals.
What does the energy of waves do to rocks?
It erodes them to be a different size and shape.
What is the general shape of a mineral?
There is no general shape of a mineral. Each mineral has its own shape, even though two different minerals might have the same shape. A few examples of shapes of minerals are: Rhomboid, rock, and cubic.
Is octahedral a rock or mineral?
'Octohedral' means 'in the form of an eight sided shape'. While a rock or mineral may have an octohedral shape, it is not inherently related to rocks and minerals at all.
