The streak of a mineral is the color of the powder left on a streak plate (piece of unglazed porcelain) when the mineral is scraped across it. The streak plate has a hardness of glass, so minerals with a Mohs Hardness >7 will scratch the streak plate and won’t powder the mineral. Where do you observe streak?

· How are Sedimentary Rocks Formed. 1. Weathering: Involves breaking of more giant rocks into smaller ones due to wind and water. Weathering can transform boulders and even mountains into sediments such as sand and mud. Dissolution is a chemical weathering process where partially acidic water wears away solid rocks. 2.

· Conglomerate Composition. Conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of rounded or water-worn pebbles, cobbles, and boulders, which are known as clasts. These clasts are typically cemented together by a matrix of finer-grained sedimentary material, such as sand, silt, or clay.

· Here are some of the key physical properties of Jasper: Hardness: Jasper has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, which means that it is relatively hard and can withstand scratching and abrasion. Density: Jasper has a density of around 2.5 to 2.9 g/cm³, which makes it relatively heavy compared to other minerals.

The simplest sedimentary structure is stratification, which is layering that can be observed in sedimentary rocks (Figure 4.1). Layers of sediment that are thicker than 1 cm are called beds and layers thinner than 1 cm are called laminations. Laminations are typically composed of fine-grained silt and clay-sized sediment.
