What are some properties of rock?
Hardness, resistance to weathering, texture, mineral composition, color, and porosity.
How do you describe the properties of rocks and minerals?
Rocks and minerals are classified by such properties as chemical composition, radioactivity, phosphorescence, grain size, hardness, color, streak, fluorescence, chemical reactiveness, crystal structure, cleavage, density, luster, habit, fracture, optical properties, and opacity.
How can you tell rocks apart?
You can tell rocks apart by its hardness, cleavage, and streak
Classifications of minerals?
A rock's mineral composition is a determining factor in rock identification.
What is the hardness luster and streak color of shale?
== == Depends upon the composition of the conglomerate, which can be anything. This is not a normal thing to do for a sedimentary rock. Hardness, luster, and streak are used to aid in the identification of minerals. Conglomerate is a rock composed of other rocks which could contain a wide variety of minerals.
What properties are used to identify rocks and minerals?
Hardness, Cleavage, Luster, Color, Streak, and Texture.
What are ways to identify igneous rocks?
You can use the characteristics(color, luster, streak, hardness, cleavage, fracture, and crystal).
What are some properties of rock?
Hardness, resistance to weathering, texture, mineral composition, color, and porosity.
Are minerals classified by color?
Someone said, "No. Most minerals have a variety of different colors." but that isn't true. Minerals and rocks can be classified by color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and specific gravity. Hope this helps! By: Fizzycandy10
what are five different ways of classifying rocks?
cleavage, fracture, luster, streak and color
What are made up of minerals?
Well minerals is in earth inorganic solid material found in nature that always has the same chemical makeup atoms arranged in an orderly pattern and properties such as cleavage and fracture color hardness and streak and luster.

how do rocks differ in shape hardness color texture
What properties do all rocks have?
Rocks have color, grain, specific density, and relative hardness.
