3 1 2 What term describes a solid material that consists of one or more minerals or other substances? List three different ways rocks can be classified. Rocks can be classified by: 3 4 Describe how the color of a rock could help identify the rock. The look and feel of a rock s surface is known as which of the following? A. Color B. Texture C. Hardness D. Mineral composition

4 5 6 A rock s grain size, shape, and pattern helps scientists to identify the rock. True or False? Testing a rock s surface with acid can help determine its mineral composition. True or False? 7 8 What type of scientist studies Earth s history through rocks and rock formations? Name the three different groups of rocks that are found on Earth.
