-IT'S MAGNETIG:THE COMPASS POINTS TO THE NORTH BECAUSE THE EARTH HAS GOT A MAGNETIC FIELD.THE SOURCE OF THIS MAGNETIC FIELD IS THE IRON CORE AT THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH.
-IT'S DENSE:THE MEAN DENSITY OF THE GEOSPHERE IS APPROXIMATELY DOUBLE THE DENSITY OF SURFACE ROCKS.
-IT HAS A LAYERED STRUCTURE:BY ANALYSING HOW SEISMIC WAVES  
FROM EARTHQUAKES SPREAD OUT AND TRAVEL THROUGHT DIFFERENT SOLID AND LIQUID MATERIALS.SCIENTISTS HAS BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT LAYERS INSIDE THE EARTH.]]> 2016-12-17 09:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/guillen134/_alvinmesisabeapadlet/wish/144158372 A mineral is a solid,natural,inorganic(not made by humans) material that has a specific "chemical formula". guillen134 https://padlet.com/guillen134/_alvinmesisabeapadlet/wish/144158650 2016-12-17 09:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/guillen134/_alvinmesisabeapadlet/wish/144158650 CLASIFICATION guillen134 https://padlet.com/guillen134/_alvinmesisabeapadlet/wish/144158735 2016-12-17 09:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/guillen134/_alvinmesisabeapadlet/wish/144158735 SILICATES guillen134 https://padlet.com/guillen134/_alvinmesisabeapadlet/wish/144158762 Silicates are minerals that contain silicon and oxygen. Over 90% of the Earth's crust is made up of silicates.

Some important non-silicate minerals include: --Carbonates
-Halides . 
-Oxides 
-Sulfides.

Scientists often use the Moh's scale to describe hardness. Using the Moh's scale, a "1" is the softest mineral and a "10" is the hardest. One example of hardness is diamond. Diamond has a hardness of 10 because it is the hardest of all the minerals.

One way to determine the streak is to rub the mineral across a rough hard surface like a tile.

Some minerals break up into small cubes while others may break up into thin sheets.
