Rock and Mineral Project

Description:

Chrystals

All rocks are made out of minerals. Every mineral has luster and a streak. When broken, some rocks will break unevenly, which is called fracture, and some will break evenly, which is called cleavage. A compound is made up of 2 or more different elements. Different minerals produce different sized chrysitals based on the time they had to cool. Metamorphic rocks are classified into folliated rocks and nonfolliated rocks. Sedimentary rocks can either be formed by clastic means or by chemical processes.
