In mathematics , convergence tests are methods of testing for the Convergent series convergence , conditional convergence , absolute convergence , interval of convergence or divergence of an series mathematics infinite series . List of tests Term test Limit of the summand . If the limit of the summand is undefined or nonzero, that is math lim n to infty a n ne 0 math , then the series must diverge. In this sense, the partial sums are Cauchy sequence Cauchy only if this limit exists and is equal to zero. The test is inconclusive if the limit of the summand is zero. Ratio test D Alembert s criterion . Suppose that there exists math r math such that math lim n to infty left frac a n 1 a n right r. math If r 1, then the series converges. If r 1, then the series diverges. If r 1, the ratio test is inconclusive, and the series may converge or diverge. Root test or n th root test Cauchy s criterion . Define r as follows math r limsup n to infty sqrt n a n , math where lim sup denotes the limit superior possibly if the limit exists it is the same value . If r 1, then the series converges. If r 1, then the series diverges. If r 1, the root test is inconclusive, and the series may converge or diverge. Integral test for convergence Integral test .

For example quartz can be almost any colour, shape and within many rock types. Streak main Streak mineralogy Colour of the mineral s powder. This can be found by rubbing the mineral onto a ceramic tile. This is more accurate but not always mineral specific. Lustre main Lustre mineralogy This is the way light reflects from the mineral s surface. A mineral can be metallic shiny or non metallic not shiny . Transparency main Transparency and translucency The way light travels through minerals. The mineral can be transparent clear , translucent cloudy or opaque none . Specific Gravity main Specific Gravity Ratio between the weight of the mineral relative to an equal volume of water. Mineral Habitat main Crystal habit The shape of the crystal and habitat. Magnetism main Magnetism Magnetic or non magnetic. Can be tested by using a magnet or a compass. This does not apply to all ion minerals for example, pyrite . Cleavage main Cleavage crystal Number, behaviour, size and way cracks fracture in the mineral. UV Fluorescence main Fluorescence Many minerals glow when put under a UV light. Radioactivity main Radioactive decay Is the mineral radioactive or non radioactive? This is measured by a Geiger counter . Eat This is not recommended. Is the mineral soft or hard? For example, quartz is hard and gold is soft. Taste This is not recommended. Is the mineral salty or does it have no taste? Hardness main Mohs scale of mineral hardness The Moh s Hardness Scale is the main scale to measure mineral hardness. Finger nail is 2.5, copper coin is 3.5, glass is 5.5 and steel is 6.5.

unreferenced date March 2007 The Catlins Ranges are a series of rugged, roughly parallel hill ranges in the southeastern corner of New Zealand s South Island . They take their name from the name given to this part of the country the Catlins . The ranges lie mostly in Otago , although their western extremes lie in Southland, New Zealand Southland Region. There are four distinct ranges the small Rata and Beresford Ranges in the northeast, the Maclennan Range in the southwest, and the Forest Range, which can be considered as an extension of the Maclennan Range. Each of these ranges is oriented along a northwest southeast axis. The ranges are separated by the valleys of the Catlins River Catlins and Tahakopa River s. Inland, close to the water divide watershed s of these rivers, the boundaries between the ranges become indistinct, part of the reason why they are often grouped together under the one name. The Maclennan Range is the largest of the ranges in terms of length, being some 25 km 15 mi in length, but most of the highest hills are found inland in the area where the ranges are not easily differentiated. The highest point in the Catlins Ranges is the 720 m 2361 ft summit of Mount Pye, New Zealand Mt. Pye , which is located 25 km 40 mi north northeast of Waikawa, Southland Waikawa . Other prominent peaks include Mount Rosebery, New Zealand Mt Rosebery 719 m 2359 ft , Ajax Hill 698 m 2290 ft , Catlins Cone 698 m 2290 ft , and Mt Tautuku 691 m 2266 ft . coord 46 25 0 S 169 20 0 E region NZ display title Category Geography of the Otago Region Category Geography of the Southland Region Category Mountain ranges of New Zealand Otago geo stub Southland geo stub es Montes Catlins ... more details
