When geologists are studying Earth’s crust, they must be able to distinguish between minerals and nonminerals. List two mineral characteristics that describe a mineral by what it is made of.
Inorganic substance and characteristic chemical composition
cooling
The mineral grains in the sample are arranged in bands
High temperatures and pressure destroy the fossils.
heat and pressure
Cementation
deep below the surface
magma flowing up
