Question

through a mind map explain the types of minerals along with 5 examples each. Also mention in what kind of rocks they are available​

Answer 1

The Rock Cycle is Earth’s great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another. Analogous to recycling a Coke can, where an old can will be used to produce a new can, the rock cycle is ever changing the rocks and minerals that make up Earth. Here we will explore this process in light of teaching kids and a bit about how the ground beneath them works.

This guide is meant to be a high level overview of how rocks are formed, the processes that transform rocks and minerals, and how they are destroyed. We will follow a pseudo “life” of a rock from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic and beyond.
