                  1. Earthquake prediction
                  2. Water from the ground
                    1. Aquifers - rocks that have the ability to store water
                      1. Porousity - amount of pore spaces
                        1. Saturated
                          1. Where there is a seperation between pore spaces with water and without water in, that is called a Water Table
                          2. Impermeable
                            1. Rock that doesn't allow water through
                        2. IDing minerals
                          1. Mineral colour
                            1. Basically what colour the mineral is
                              1. Rubbish for the ID of minerals
                                1. Too many whites
                                2. Mineral streak
                                  1. Mineral lustre
                                    1. Describes the way that light is reflected by the mineral
                                      1. Metallic
                                        1. Vitreous (glassy)
                                          1. Dull
                                        2. Transparency
                                          1. How light passes through a mineral
                                            1. Transparent - see through it
                                              1. Translucent - can vaguely see through it
                                                1. Opaque - no light passes through
