Minerals, dadadaaa!

S.N.I.F.C

Solid
Cannot be liquid or gas

Naturally Occuring
Found in nature, not man made

Inorganic
Not alive, never will be

Fixed Composition
Has a chemical formula, most are formed from compounds of two or more, some are monocompounds

Crystal Form
A definite in chemical structure.

I have several different objects. These objects are:

Gold
Diamond
Topaz
Granite
Quartz
Talc
Wood
Fossil
Bone
Pearls
Ice
Coal
Rocksalt

Now, following the rule of minerals, I shall organize them into categories of minerals and non minerals.

Minerals:
Gold
Topaz
Talc
Iceberg
Diamond

Non Minerals:
Wood
Fossil
Bone
Granite
Pearls
Rock salt
Coal

Now I bet your going to ask why I put some things in others, well here's why:

Wood-Living
Fossil-Was living
Bone-Living Material
Granite-Igneous rock
Pearls-Formed by living object
Rocksalt-Not crystalline structure
Coal-Was living Tissue

so follow these rules and find what are and arn't minerals

Mt. Kilauea

I'll start by saying what I learned about volcanoes. I learned that volcanoes can effect people (and the world) in many ways, positive and negative. One positive way is that they give off many substances such as obsidian, ash (nutrients), and sulpher. One negative way is if they blow their top off. The lava burns, the smoke chokes, and the ash covers.

I think that i did "OK". I didn't do my best, and probably could of put in some more information and fanciness. I would say that I should get a 5 out of 6, because i put in a lot of effort, but not all of it (honesty gives a point, doesn't it?).
