PPT-Minerals 1)Minerals which are

naturally existing chemical compounds 2Minerals can be identified by their physical properties 3What are the four characteristics of a mineral Naturally occurring Crystal StructureChemical Substance. A homogenous, naturally occurring substance with definable internal structure is called mineral. .. Mode of occurrence of minerals:. (1) In igneous and metamorphic rocks: The smaller occurrences are called veins and the larger occurrences are called lodes. They are usually formed when minerals in liquid/molten and gaseous forms are forced upwards through cavities towards the earth’s surface. Examples: tin, copper, zinc, lead, etc..
