Science Review Flashcards
What is MICH
The three steps of igneous is melting, cooling and hardening
What is MPH
The three steps for metamorphic is heat and pressure
What is WEDCC
The three steps for sedimentary is weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation

Two sub classifications of igneous
Intrusive and extrusive
Two sub classifications of metamorphic
Foliated and non foliated
Three sub classifications of sedimentary rock
Clastic, chemical and organic
Four conditions for a substance to be classified as a mineral
Inorganic
Solid
Naturally occurring
Crystalline structure
Cleavage
Splitting of a mineral on flat surfaces
Color
The surface color of a mineral
Fracture
