Do your homework. I won't do it for you, you bum.

I will give you a hint

1) Think nebula
2) Think of onion- layers, I will give you one - lithosphere


that is all you get

if you want the rock cycle look up your geogaphy book

just be a sympathy and help me out on THE EARTH ones , Im gonna die of stress soon, . I swear down .

You're going to need to be more specific in your questions. For example --what is a mineral? That's a basic definition question. I don't know how to explain it any more plainly than what your book or wikipedia could.

Well dramma, I think you would like to open up a thread here that would make everybody willing to give all their effort to justify their explanations. Isn't it great? what do you think?

Think about this, how come the people from the past got interested knowing Earth further? what were the situations before that made them even more curious?

It will be difficult for anyone here to give you helpful information without more specific questions. If the textbook is confusing you, there's a strong chance that our answers to your general questions will also confuse you. If you could get into specifics more, we may be able to simplify and analogize for you.
