Scientists identify minerals by using many properties. Among these are streak, fluorescence, crystal structure, cleavage, and hardness
Moh's Hardness Scale rates minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest)
Igneous rock is formed when molten rock hardens
Sedimentary rock forms when layers of sediment settle over time and bind together
Metamorphic rock is made from igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by pressure and high temperature
Any kind of rock can change into any other kind of rock
Unlike the water cycle, the rock cycle is a very slow process
