3.  Minerals – Naturally formed solid that has a repeating three-dimensional shape  Minerals are Nonliving material Have crystals Formed in nature solid

4.  Luster  Color  Streak  Cleavage and Fracture  Density  Hardness

5. Which property means the way the light bounces off the mineral?

6. What words can be used to describe a mineral’s luster? Glassy, dull, shiny, greasy

7. Why is color not a good property to use to identify a mineral? Many minerals have the same color. slate limestone

8. Streak is simply the color of a mineral powder.

9. What are three testers that can be used to determine a mineral’s hardness? fingernail, penny, nail

10.  What rock will scratch Calcite but not scratch Orthoclase?

11. Hardness of some other items: 2.5Fingernail 2.5–3Gold, Silver 3Copper penny 4-4.5Platinum 4-5Iron 5.5Knife blade 6-7Glass 6.5Iron pyrite 7+Hardened steel file

13.  Minerals combine to form rocks  There are three types of rocks Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic

16.  Igneous forms when hot, liquid rock, or magma, cools and hardens  Igneous rock formed on the surface is called extrusive  Rock formed under surface is intrusive

17. ExtrusiveIntrusive

18.  Sedimentary rocks are formed from compaction and sedimentation  Sedimentary contain layers called strata

20.  Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure
