Will you be able to save the Planet?
MINERALS AND ROCKS
The world needs you! Travel around the Universe and show everything you know about Rocks and Minerals. Gather all the materials you need to save the Planet Earth.We are counting on you!
-MISSION-
The planet Earth has been invaded! The invadors stole two minerals and two rocks, whith which they could destroy our entire planet they just have ti put the 4 materials together and... PUM! ... our planet will be reduced to ashed.
We need your help! Travel around the Universe, show everything you know about rocks and minerals and snatch the materials from invadors. Finally find the key to disable the missel that could detroy Earth. The world trusts you!!

There is no mention to the word stone in Geology, rather rock or mineral. Rocks are naturally formed, consolidated material composed of grains of one or more minerals, as a consequence of a geological process.
Types of minerals: copper, sulfur, quartz, diamond, calcite, graphite, etc.
Types of rocks: granite, marble, slate, quartzite, conglomerate, etc.
Minerals are solid, natural and inorganic substances that have a definite chemical composition and an interior ordered structure
You can not go any further without answering to a few questions...

Properties of minerals according to their interaction with light Luster: describes the appearance of a mineral when light is reflected from its surface. Transparency: the amount of light able to be passed through a mineral. Color: the color the mineral presents. Fluorescence: when exposed to ultraviolet light some minerals "glow"
Properties of minerals according to chemical reactions Reaction with acids Solubility Radioactivity
Properties of minerals according to their composition and structure Density: relationship between the mass of a mineral and the volume it occupies. Conductivity: ease of a mineral to transmit electric current. Crystal Form: describes the appearance and shape of the mineral.
Properties of minerals in response to an effort Hardness: Resistance offered by the surface of the mineral to be scratched. Fractures: breakage of a mineral along an irregular surface. Cleavage: how it breaks when put under stress, in successive thin shells, or spalls

Rocks classification Sedimentary rocks : are formed in layers as in sediments. Are classified in:
- Clastic Rocks: composed of other rock fragments.
- Chemical Rocks: the accumulation of materials on the surface is product of chemical reactions.
- Biochemical Rocks: sometimes living beings form rocks due to the accumulation of their remains
Rocks classification Igneous rocks : are formed in when magma cools and hardens
- Intrusive Rocks: its solidification occours on the inside
- Extrusive sRocks: its solidification occours on the outside
Classification of minerals
- Native elements: formed by a single chemical element.
- Halides: with color, iodine or fluoride.
- Oxides: metals combine with oxygen..
- Sulfides: combinations of sulfur and a metal.
- Carbonates: contain carbon and oxygen.
- Sulfates: sulfur and oxygen compounds..
- Phosphates: with phosphorus and oxygen.
- Silicates : with silicon and oxygen.
Rocks classification Metamorphic Rocks: arise from the transformation of existing rock types when subjected to heat and pressure, not melting though.
- Foliated Rocks
- Non-foliated Rocks
