We now know what sedimentary rocks are, but how do we classify them? We have to discuss three broad categories of sedimentary rock, and the first of these are terrigenous or siliciclastic rocks. These are rocks composed of clasts, or...

What is a mineral? How are minerals classified based on their elemental composition, crystalline structure, and bonding type? Learn the basics of mineral composition and classification in this video. <b<br/>r/>

Minerals part 1

Color and luster are two important macroscopic characteristics of minerals. How can we identify and classify minerals using these characteristics? And why do the same metals show up as different colors in different...

Cleavage and hardness are two macroscopic characteristics that geologists use to identify and classify minerals. How are these characteristics measured? What do they tell us about the properties of a mineral?

Now that we know how igneous rocks form, what are the types of igneous rocks? This depends on precisely where they form, and we can call them either intrusive or extrusive. These can also be called either plutonic or volcanic. What do...
