Although brick, steel and glass all come from substances found in Earth's crust, they are not classified as minerals because__________.

they are not naturally occurring

Why do metamorphic rocks not form on the surface of Earth?

There is not enough heat and pressure on the surface

Metamorphic rocks do form at the surface

Metamorphic rocks cannot form near water

Metamorphic rocks require only pressure, not heat

Compare and contrast the formation of Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks.

Metamorphic rocks require less heat and more pressure to form than igneous.

Igneous and metamorphic rocks only require heat to form

Igneous rocks form from the broken down pieces of metamorphic rocks.

Igneous and metamorphic rocks both form on Earth's surface

What is the process that creates metamorphic rock?

Compaction and cementation of sediment

What is the process that creates igneous rock?

Compaction and cementation of sediment

What is the process that creates sedimentary rock?

Compaction and cementation of sediment

What is the process that creates sediment?

Compaction and cementation of sediment

On the Mohs hardness scale, which of the following is a true statement?

Higher numbers can scratch lower numbers

Lower numbers can scratch higher numbers

Higher numbers can break lower numbers

Lower numbers can break higher numbers

What type of mineral is man-made glass which is made from sand?

Not a mineral because it is man-made

Why do we perform a streak test?

Because minerals can come in many different colors but their streak will always be the same if they are the same mineral

Because it allows us to see how hard the mineral is on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest

Because it allows us to measure the luster of a mineral which is the mineral's ability to reflect light

Because it allows is allows us to calculate how dense a mineral is
