Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids that have a crystalline structure and definite chemical composition. Soil is a mixture of decomposed organic matter and broken down rocks and minerals. Soil also contains important pore spaces that allow water and air to circulate.
When a piece of Halite is broken, it breaks into many smaller cubes. when a mineral breaks into jagged edges. Some minerals have no planes of weakness, so they have no cleavage. Crystal Shape is the natural geometric shape of a mineral.
Hope this helps :)
Texas. Texas is very close to Mexico, so you'd have a chance to meet someone who is Mexican instead of American.
