Why is the color of a mineral not a reliable test for the identity of the mineral?
o
a. most minerals are colorless,
o
b. minerals can change color based on small impurities.
o
c. the color of a mineral tells you the iron content, but nothing else.

Option B.

Minerals can change color base on impurities.

Explanation:

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids that have lattice structure and chemical composition.

Color alone is not reliable to identify minerals because minerals can change color base on impurities. Some minerals may have more than one color.

Minerals can best be identified base on their physical properties which is related to their chemical composition and bonding. Hardness, lustre, cleavage and how it's react to acid can be use to identify minerals.

the correct answer is c   with the systems

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community
