Geology Test Review: Rocks and Minerals
This review covers the identification of rocks as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic, along with definitions and properties of minerals like cleavage, crystal structure, streak color, and more. It also discusses the classification of rocks as foliated or nonfoliated. Prepare for your geology test with this comprehensive study material.
