Step 1: Define minerals
  • Minerals are inorganic substances that exist naturally and have a specific crystalline structure and chemical makeup. They are the building blocks of rocks, formed through geological processes.
  • Identification is made easier by the distinctive physical characteristics of each mineral, such as cleavage, color, and hardness.
  • Minerals, which are made up of elements in certain ratios, are necessary for life on Earth and play important roles in its activities. They are used in many different industrial applications, such as electronics and building materials.
  • Mica, feldspar, and quartz are common minerals. Geologists must comprehend mineralogy because minerals reveal information about the processes that have shaped Earth's dynamic surface throughout its history.
