12. Minerals “Are the building blocks of rocks.” Characteristics: “soft and hard, and the luster, which means shiny or dull.” Example: Gold http://www.uamineralmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/gold-02.jpg http://www.rockingham.k12.va.us/resources/elementary/files/rocks.htm

14. Metamorphic Rock “Formed by pressure and heat from metamorphic and igneous rock.” An example: Marble http://www.rockingham.k12.va.us/resources/elementary/files/rocks.htm http://www.rocksandminerals4u.com/metamorphic.html

16. Sedimentary Rock Come from broken pieces of previous rocks found on the Earth’s surface. An example: Sandstone http://jersey.uoregon.edu/~mstrick/AskGeoMan/geoQuerry13.html http://www.rocksandminerals4u.com/sedimentary.html
