The hardest mineral (cannot be scratched)
What is diamond?
What is the rock cycle?
Magma that cools slowly, deep below Earth's surface, forms this size crystal.
What are large crystals?
The type of rock that forms as a result of change by heat or pressure, or by chemical reactions.
What are metamorphic rocks?
The reason igneous rocks are hipsters.
What is because they were magma before it was cool?
The name of the scale used to rank the hardness of minerals.
What is the Mohs Hardness Scale?
Igneous and sedimentary rocks become metamorphic rocks in the rock cycle as a result of this.
What is heat and pressure?
A mineral that splits easily along flat surfaces has this property.
What is cleavage?
This type of rock may contain fossils.
What are sedimentary rocks?
