Quartz and mica are minerals.<\/p>\n<p>Quartz is a hard, brittle mineral that is found in many different types of rocks. It is the most common mineral in the Earth&#8217;s crust. Mica is a group of minerals that are composed of sheet silicates. They are often transparent or translucent and have a pearly luster.<\/p>\n<p>Basalt, shale, granite, marble, and gypsum are all rocks. Basalt is an igneous rock that is formed when magma cools and solidifies. Shale is a sedimentary rock that is formed when mud or clay is compacted and cemented together. Granite is an igneous rock that is formed when magma cools and solidifies slowly at depth. Marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure. Gypsum is a sedimentary rock that is formed when calcium sulfate is precipitated from water.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because basalt and marble are not the only metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, slate, and marble.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because there is one sedimentary rock in the list: shale.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because there are two igneous rocks in the list: basalt <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n       <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> and granite.<\/p>\n<p>Option D is correct because quartz and mica are minerals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[644],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Based on the following rocks and minerals, select the correct statement, quartz, shale, basalt, granite, marble, gypsum, mica A.
