Rocks and Minerals
SC.4.E.6.1 Identify the three categories of rocks: igneous, (formed from molten rock); sedimentary (pieces of other rocks and fossilized organisms); and metamorphic (formed from heat and pressure).
SC.4.E.6.2 Identify the physical properties of common earth-forming minerals, including hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak color, and recognize the role of minerals in the formation of rocks.

CLASSIFICATION OF ROCKS
TYPES OF ROCK
DEFINITION
Metamorphic
Rockrock formed from extreme heat and pressure
Igneous
Rockrock formed from the cooling of magma or lava
Sedimentary
Rockrock formed from many layers of sediments that
become pressed and cemented together

COMMON CHACTERISTICS USED TO CLASSIFY MINERALS
HARDNESSTo determine hardness, one mineral is rubbed against another to see if it will
result in being scratched.
HARDNESS FACTS
Quartz and feldspar can scratch both glass andsteel and are considered hard minerals.
Diamond is the hardest natural substance on Earth, while talc is the softest mineral.
Talc is so soft that your fingernail can easily scratch it.

LUSTER A mineral's luster describes the way
light is reflected from its surface.
