Answer to Question 1

A rock is a naturally occurring aggregate of minerals, while minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic
crystalline solids. Rocks are made up of minerals, not vice versa.



Answer to Question 2

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline solid with a narrowly defined chemical
composition and characteristic physical properties. Naturally occurring: a manmade substance cannot
be a mineral; inorganic: anything that was once alive cannot be a mineral; crystalline solid: constituent
atoms are arranged in a three-dimensional framework; narrowly defined chemical composition: the
chemistry of a mineral may vary but within a very specific range.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
