The Geosphere
MINERALS are not made by people.
MINERALS can not be something that once lived, those are organic not inorganic.
MINERALS must be solids.

Types of Rocks?
IGNEOUS ROCKS form when molten material (magma) cools and then hardens.

16. The Geosphere
Types of Rocks?
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS form when forces such as water, wind, and ice break down rocks into small pieces called sediment.

17. The Geosphere
Types of Rocks?
METAMORPHIC ROCKS form when extreme temperature and pressure within Earth change existing rocks into new rocks.
