Question 13 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

A mineral crystallizes from magma deep inside Earth.Which characteristics can be determined given only the information above?

Answer
A
luster
B
streak
C
crystal size
D
crystal structure

Explanation

Magma deep inside Earth cools slowly, giving crystals more time to grow. This means the mineral will generally have a large crystal size, so crystal size can be inferred. Luster, streak, and crystal structure cannot be determined from where the mineral crystallizes alone.
