Rock cycle Metamorphic Rocks: Marble Quartzite Slate When sedimentary rocks are put under heat and pressure, metamorphic rocks can form. Wind and water can break up metamorphic rocks to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary Rocks: Limestone Breccia Red sandstone When metamorphic rocks melt, they form igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks melt to form igneous rocks. Heat and pressure can change igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks. Igneous Rocks: Obsidian Pumice Snowflake porphyry Wind and water can break up igneous rocks to form sedimentary rocks.
Hardness of Minerals Hardness is one of the properties of minerals. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 10: 1 = softest 10 = hardest
