What is a Mineral?. A mineral is . inorganic. .. Minerals are naturally occurring.. Minerals are . solids. .. Minerals have a . crystal. structure.. Minerals have a definite chemical composition.. How do we Identify Minerals?. Standard. . S6E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. . a. Compare and contrast the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core including temperature, density, and composition. . The Earth is divided into three layers based on the compounds that makeup each layer. They are:. 1. Crust. 2. Mantle. 3. Core. The Crust. The Crust is the :. 1. outer most layer of the Earth.. 2. It is the thinnest layer.. Layers of the Earth. 1. 2. / . 24. 3. / . 24. Plate Tectonics. Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into plates. Hot, weak asthenosphere allows for plates to move. Plates are in motion and continually changing in shape and size. Jacob Bocanegra. 9/26/13. 6. th. .
