I would like this before 11:59 PM EST on Friday, March 26th 2021. Yes, this IS for a HOMEWORK assignment, so PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS. REAL ANSWERS PLEASE. NO LINKS OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED. Thank you! How can the idea that different minerals are formed in different environments provide evidence for energy and matter cycling?

 The importance of crystal structure. The graphite-diamond mineral pair is an extreme example of the importance of crystal structure. These two very different minerals have exactly the same chemical formula (C), but the crystal structure of the two minerals is very different. In graphite, carbon atoms are bonded together along a flat plane, as shown in Figure 3.
