An element or compound which occurs naturally in the earth is a mineral
Answer: B) the forces in the solid hold the atoms tightly in place
Explanation:This is because there is no room for the atoms to move around much and because they are very close together which makes the phase a solid.
Answer:
11.7
Explanation:
The pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. If the concentration is 2×10-¹² the the pH will be -log(2×10-¹²) which is 11.698 which can be round up to 11.7.

ANSWER: C) Law of Conservation of Mass
EXPLANATION: In the given cycle, it is seen that th sediments are layered and gets compressed into sedimentary rocks which eventually gets heated and compressed to form metamorphic rocks. But, the total amount of minerals present in the sediments remains the same throughout any stage of the cycle.
This proves the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can not be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transferred from one form to another. So, in this case, only phase transition occurred but the component which is mineral inside the sediments remains constant.
Therefore, the answer is law of conservation of mass.
