Yes, coal is a mineral because all rocks that are useful to people are minerals.
No, coal is not a mineral because coal can be burned to produce electricity and heat.
No, coal is not a mineral because it is not a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure.
stick to the answers given please
In that case, Yes, coal is a mineral because all rocks that are useful to people are minerals, according to the given options.
but coal is made of dead plants?
Yes, that's correct. According to the definition of a mineral, coal is not a mineral because it is not a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure. However, based on the given options, the answer would be "Yes, coal is a mineral because all rocks that are useful to people are minerals." This answer is not entirely accurate.
and what about no, coal is not a mineral because coal is made of dead plant s
That answer is also correct according to the definition of a mineral and the fact that coal is made of dead plants, which makes it an organic material, not an inorganic solid with a crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition.

Ocean waves are a source of energy. In 1–2 sentences, make and justify a claim about whether ocean waves are a renewable or nonrenewable resource.(2 points)
Ocean waves can be considered as a renewable resource. They are renewed constantly by factors like winds, moon's gravitational pull, and other factors and can be harnessed using technologies like Wave Energy Converters.
In three to five sentences, explain the effects of acid rain on the environment.(4 points)
Acid rain has harmful effects on the environment. When it falls, it can damage forests, lakes, rivers, and other agricultural lands. Acid rain is particularly harmful to aquatic life as it increases the acidity of the water. It can lead to the death of fish, insects, and other aquatic creatures. Additionally, acid rain ruins the soils and can reduce the absorption of vital nutrients in plants, which stunts their growth and development.
Larger companies often need many workers who do different steps in the transportation process, instead of each member doing all steps in the process they do a single step before handing it to another worker to do the next step.
Imagine that you are the head of a large company that wants to retrieve raw materials. In three to five sentences, describe three different jobs your company may need and explain the purpose of those jobs.
(4 points)
The three different jobs my company may need to retrieve raw materials are:
1. Prospector: The prospector is responsible for searching and exploring the land, in order to find the location and quality of the raw materials like ores, minerals or fossil fuels. The prospector plays a vital role in discovering new sources and locations for raw materials, minerals and ores.
2. Miner: Once the prospector has identified the location of the raw materials, the miner's job comes into the picture. The miner is the worker who extracts the raw materials from the mine or excavation site. They use specialized tools and machinery like drills, truck loaders, etc. to extract and move the raw materials.
3. Transporter: The transporter is responsible for movement of the raw materials from the mining site to the processing plant or to other locations, where the raw materials can be utilized in manufacturing or other industries. They are responsible for arranging the logistics, transportation routes and shipping the raw materials efficiently and safely.
