The measure of a mineral's resistance to scratching

Quartz is made up of the two most abundant elements on Earth which are

Metamorphic Rocks are formed by

Magma is formed by

The pressure is greatest in this layer.

If a substance is a mineral is must be:

If a mineral breaks along a flat surface, then it has

Crustal plates slide past each other in opposite directions at which type of boundary

The source of heat that drives plate motion originates from radioactivity in this layer.

An igneous rock with large crystals has a texture that indicates it is

A rock has these measurements - Mass = 10 g, Volume = 2 cm3.  Find the density

Features found at divergent boundaries include

Metamorphic Rocks can form from
