Rocks are made of different kinds of
sand
water crystals
salt
minerals
By rubbing a mineral against a porcelain plate you perform a
fracture test
streak test
hardness test
acid test
How are rocks DIFFERENT from minerals?
Rocks are a pure substance and minerals are all mixtures.
Rocks have no physical or chemical properties similar to minerals.
Minerals are made up of at least two rocks, but rocks are not made up of minerals.
Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.
Color, Hardness, Crystal habit, Luster, Streak, Fracture are all
ways to identify a rock
properties of elements
properties of a compound
way to identify minerals
How can an igneous rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?
if it is forced deep into Earth, where it melts into magma
if it is heated and put under pressure for long periods of time
if layers of sand accumulate over it and harden over a period of time
if it is exposed at the surface and is weathered over a period of time
Which of these BEST describes the concept of the rock cycle?
