Minerals are naturally-formed substances that have a specific chemical properties: abiogenic (minerals are not produced by or derived from living organisms,  non-organic in origin), stable at room temperature (i.e. at 25 degrees C) , are represented by a known chemical formula , have an ordered atomic arrangement/structure. Coal is not classified as a mineral because it is an organic substance. Correct answer: D (coal is formed from the remains of dead plants and animals).

Name two types of evidence used to support the theory of evolution. Explain how scientists use each type of evidence to provide
TEA [102]
Evidence for evolution, in other words evidence of common descent, include fossils, which have shown a (fairly) steady change in morphology over time for some species. An example would be horse hooves: we have fossils that show when they were still three toed, then two toed, then one toe in our present day horses. Another piece of evidence is vestigial organs. An example of vestigial organs is wings in some flightless birds, such as the kiwi. Their ancestors used it in order to fly across the marine barrier into New Zealand, but natural selection and random genetic drift made them quickly lose the ability to fly. Nonetheless, they still have their wings, however small. It can be assumed that eventually, their wings would be reduced to small stubs fused to other nearby bones, as has been observed in their cousins.
