Halite (NaCl) mineral, that is also known as salt.

Color: Black, Grey, Orange, Pink, White
Granite - Igneous
Very hard, granular, crystalline igneous rock which
consists mainly of quartz, mica, and feldspar and is
often used as building stone
Igneous: forms from magma that has either cooled
slowly under ground or cooled quickly at the surface
after a volcanic eruption
Sedimentary rocks: formed when weathered
fragments fo other rocks are buried, compressed, and
Ways rocks may form

a mineral is a pure substance with a specific
difference between
composition and structure whereas a rock is typically
mineral and rock
a mixture of several different minerals.
made up of iron and magnesium silicate materials.
Most of the mantle which surrounds the outer core is
solid rock, but is plastic enough to be able to flow
the mantle
slowly. Surrounding that part of the mantle is a
partially molten layer, the asthenosphere, and the
outermost part of the mantle which is rigid.
Asthenosphere
Lithosphere
tectonic plates
Earth's outermost layer. mostly composed of granite
on the continents and mostly of basalt beneath the
oceans. Is rigid. The crust and the outermost rigid part
the crust
of the mantle together make up the lithosphere which
is divided into about 20 tectonic plates that move in
different directions on earth's surface
the temperature increases in the earth with depth.
Geothermal gradient
approximately 30 Celsius a kilometer
the primary driving force for the movement of
tectonic plates. the transfer of heat from the core to
the mantle causing convection, as cold from the core
convection goes down creating circular heating/cooling patterns.
Where convection currents in the antle are moving
upward, new lithosphere forms and the plates are
pushed apart
age of earth 4,570 million years old
Phanerozoic Eon the last 542 million years in geological time

a naturally occurring combination of specific
mineral elements arranged in a particular repeating three
dimentional structure
Atomic number the number of protons in an atom
atomic mass the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
a positively charged ion (when an atom during a
cation
reaction loses electrons)
A negatively charged ion, when during transfer when
anion an atom gains one or more electrons in order to
become a negatively charged ion
A bond when atoms share their outermost electrons
covelant bond
in order to balance their charge. does not form an ion
minerals that contain silicon and oxygen and usually
silicates one or more other elements, are one of the largest
groups of minerals
compounds that have oxygen as their anion, t ut they
exclude those with oxygen complexes such as
oxides
carbonate, suphate, and silicate. have O2 as their
anion,
sulphides Have an S-2 anion, can also have an SO4-2 anion
Minerals that contain a halogen ion plus one or more
halides
other elements
Minerals that contain the elements carbon, oxygen,
Carbonates and one or more other metallic elements, such as

phosphate PO4 anion
single element minerals such as gold copper, sulphur
Native minerals
and graphite
