Crowds of visitors were drawn to Franconia Notch on Sunday to mourn the loss of New Hampshire's well-known symbol the Old Man of the Mountain granite profile. The 700-ton natural formation was just a pile of rocks after breaking loose from its 1,200-foot-high mountainside perch. It was unclear when the outcropping fell because clouds had obscured the area Thursday and Friday; a state park trail crew discovered the collapse Saturday morning. The famous mountain's history dates millions of years. Over time, nature carved out a 40-foot-tall profile resembling an old man's face, and it eventually became New Hampshire's most recognizable symbol.

The diagram below represents a basic atomic structure that forms when oxygen and silicon unite. This tetrahedron is found in large amounts in the Earth's A) hydrosphere B) troposphere C) lithosphere D) stratosphere 142. Two minerals made of pure carbon are diamond and graphite. Which statement best explains why diamond is so much more resistant to scratching than graphite? A) The atoms are lighter in graphite than in diamond. B) The atoms are heavier in graphite than in diamond. C) The atoms are bonded together more strongly in diamond than in graphite. D) The atoms are smaller in graphite than in diamond. This structure is called a A) tetrahedron B) cube C) sphere D) cylinder 146. What causes the characteristic crystal shape and cleavage (breaking along flat surfaces) of the mineral halite as shown in the diagram below? A) metamorphism of the halite B) the internal arrangement of the atoms in halite C) the amount of erosion the halite has undergone D) the shape of other minerals located where the halite formed
