Rocks and crystals

The five characteristics that all minerals share are:

• Definite Chemical Composition, Color, Density, Igneous, and Solid
• Definite Chemical Composition,  Crystal Structure, Inorganic, Naturally Occurring, and Solid
• Cleavage, Faces, Hardness, Metamorphic, and Streak
• Cleavage, Crystal Structure, Density, Igneous, and Solid

Means that a mineral cannot come from something that was once living.

• Inorganic
• Organic
• Naturally Occurring
• Not Living

This means the particles that make a mineral line up in a pattern that repeats over and over again.

• Chemical Composition
• Crystal Structure
• Fracture
• Solid

The three major rock groups are:

• Inorganic, Metamorphic, and  Sedimentary
• Inorganic, Metamorphosis, and Sediment
• Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sediment
• Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary

Which type of rock results from melting and cooling of magma?

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
• Extrusive

Which type of rock forms from extreme heat and pressure?

• Igneous
• Sedimentary

A metamorphic rock changes into an igneous rock by what two processes?

• Melting and cooling
• Extreme heat and pressure
• Compaction and cementation
• Weathering and erosion
