Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

There are many ways to determine what minerals are present in a sample. You can observe its color, streak, luster, magnetism, cleavage and hardness. Obviously, you can see what color it is and whether it is metallic or cloudy, but other tests may be required. Streak is tested by rubbing the mineral onto a streak slab of concrete to see what color the powder is. Magnetism is determined by putting a magnet next to the sample, or placing it next to a dish of iron filings. Cleavage is determined by cracking the sample to see the way it fractures. Finally, to determine hardness, you scratch test rocks with the sample, like as controls. I hope this answered your question. (Also, questions like this would best fit under chemistry, because geography is the study of political land)

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth's mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
