Minerals and Rocks 6th Grade ECMS

What is a mineral? A mineral is a substance that: Forms in nature Is a solid Has a definite chemical makeup (made up of elements) Has a crystal structure Inorganic

How do minerals form? Evaporation Molten rock cools High pressure and temperature deep within Earth

Where do we find minerals? Make-up (mica) Table salt (halite) Wires (copper) Pencils (graphite) Jewelry (diamonds, rubies, emeralds)

Are minerals the same as rocks? No, minerals are made up of different elements. Rocks are made up of 2 or more minerals.
