Do all crystals have smooth edges?

Not all crystals have smooth edges. The only crystals that I think have smooth edges are water worn ones. So your answer is no.


How does a weathered rock look different from a rock that is not weathered?

A weathered rock is usually smooth and broken down from erosion over time. A rock that is not weathered is usually rough, with jagged edges. NB: A lot depends on the type of rock.


Jolene is comparing a rock from a riverbed and a rock from deep underground one is very smooth the other has very sharp edges explain which rock was probably found in each location?

The rock that is very smooth is most likely the one that was found in riverbed because the river would probably toss the rock around and weather it down until it is smooth. Therefore, that means that the other rock was most likely found underground.


A smooth glassy black igneous rock?

Yes. Obsidian is shiny on unweathered fracture surfaces. It is also an extrusive rock that is felsic, and can be worked to nearly molecular thinness at the edges.


What causes rocks to become round and smooth?

Weathering and erosion. Weathering causes rock to break into smaller particles. When these particles are transported by wind, water, or ice, the jagged edges from fracture are gradually worn down from abrasion with other particles, making the outer surface appear relatively smooth. Sometimes the mere abrasive effects of windblown particles on a rock will smooth the exposed surface, leaving the remainder of the rock jagged.
