The pictures show a method used to collect data in an investigation
Different kinds of materials were mixed with 100 grams of garden soil. An
equal amount of water was added to each mixture. Which of these was this
investigation designed to answer?
A How well each material mixes with garden soil
B How well each mixture holds water
How well each material supports plants
D How well each mixture keeps its texture when wet

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
