1. They are solidified.
2. They are composed of combinations of minerals.
3. They erode when exposed to weather.
4. They can change into other rocks under certain conditions.
5. They possess a color.
6. They have an age.
Rocks are a solid. Rocks are made of minerals. Rocks are made by: a) the solidification of magma or lava, b) metamorphosis of other rock types, c) accumulation and sedimentation of other rock particles. Rocks vary in weight due to air inclusions or mineral content.

The characteristic of rocks are :
- They are solid
- Some are Big
- When the temperature is low it decrease in size and when the temperature increases the rock become bigger.

How is a cast related to a mold?
Mold is related to cast because they are types of fossilizations, where the physical characteristics of organisms are impressed onto rocks. Most impressions occur in coarse porous rocks such as sandstones.
Do birds ever put rocks in their nest?
A kind of bird that lives in the Amazon decorates its nest with small blue pebbles and some birds build their nests on top of rocks as support.
Where do white rocks come from?
White rocks can come from a variety of sources, such as quartz, marble, or limestone. These rocks can form naturally through the deposition of minerals or chemical reactions in the Earth's crust. They can also be artificially produced through processes like grinding or crushing.
What are non living things in the environment?
Non-living things in the environment include rocks, soil, water, sunlight, and air. These components play important roles in supporting life but do not possess characteristics of living organisms like growth, reproduction, or metabolism.

What are some characteristics of a natural sponge?
they stick to rocks and have a spiky rough texture
What are some questions about metamorphic rocks that you would like to explore?
Some questions about metamorphic rocks that could be explored include: How do different types of pressure and temperature affect the formation of metamorphic rocks? What are the key minerals found in metamorphic rocks and how do they indicate the rock's history? How do metamorphic rocks differ from igneous and sedimentary rocks in terms of their formation processes and characteristics?
What is the scientific study of the physical characteristics of rocks called?
The scientific study of the physical characteristics of rocks is called petrology. It focuses on the composition, classification, and origin of rocks based on their physical and chemical properties.
What are some characteristics of mechanics?
Mechanical weathering is when rocks are worn away by physical action, ex: a river running past.

What are characteristics of vitamins?
They aren't found in rocks and minerals.
How do you compare rocks with other rocks?
Rocks can be compared based on their mineral composition, texture, color, and density. By examining these characteristics, geologists can determine the type of rock and its origins. Additionally, rocks can be compared based on their hardness, cleavage, and overall physical properties.
What to characteristics can be used to divide igneous rocks into groups?
i have no clue!
What are NOT characteristics of igneous rocks?
B/c they are made out of lava
Is studying the characteristics of minerals and rocks a goal in geology?
No, it is mineralogy!!
What are the characteristics of rock and how do you define them?
Rocks are defined by their mineral composition, texture, and formation processes. They can be classified into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, each with distinct characteristics. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava, sedimentary rocks consist of accumulated sediments and organic materials, and metamorphic rocks arise from the alteration of existing rocks under heat and pressure. Additional characteristics include color, hardness, and grain size, which help in identifying and classifying rocks.
