Review
?? Is water a mineral? Why or why not?
No because it is a liquid
?? Is coal a mineral? Why or why not?
No because it is made from living things. (plants)

Only 8 elements make up 98.5% of the Earth.
• Oxygen• Silicon• Aluminum• Iron• Calcium• Sodium• Potassium• Magnesium
The 2 most common elements in the crust.
More than 90% contain Si and O

How do minerals form?
• Magma or lava cools and mineral compounds form.

What do minerals look like?
• When atoms in a mineral line up in an orderly pattern a crystal forms.
• A crystal is a geometric solid with smooth sides or faces
