Minerals
Color, streak, cleavage, and hardness are examples of this...
Mineral properties.
How many categories of Rock can we classify them by?
What is 3!
What are 3 causes of weathering.
Ice, wind, plants, water, hurricanes, storms, etc...
The difference between a renewable resource, and a non-renewable resource.
Non-renewable resources take too long to form. Renewable resources can give more in a short amount of time, never ending.
A Scientist wants to test the cleavage of a mineral. How will they test it?
What is Break it?!
Limestone often contains fossils. So Limestone is what kind of rock?
What is Sedimentary!
Which type of rock is formed from cooling lava?
What is Igneous!
During the winter, water gets into a crack in a rock. The water then freezes when temperatures become cold enough the rock breaks. What is this process called?

Weathering and erosion cause rocks to build on each other over time and pressure causes them to form rock.
Which type of rock goes through a major change.
Metamorphic
What can cause weathering to occur fast.
Natural disasters, storms.
