What is the color test, the luster test, the cleavage and fracture test, the streak test, the hardness test, the density test, and the special properties test.
When scientists are trying to identify minerals they perform a series of tests. List the 7 different tests that can be performed in identifying minerals?
|
What is the continual process by which new rock forms from old rock material.
What is the rock cycle?

|
|
What is you scrape the mineral on a streak plate then whatever color appears on the streak plate is the color of the mineral but in powder form.
How do you perform the streak test?

The formations are different because fine grained has little to no crystals and coarse grained has large crystals.
Explain how igneous rock fine grained and course grained formation is different.
