· The metal in meteorites strongly attracts a magnet.If you have a piece of metal or a rock that contains metal but it does not attract a magnet then it is not a meteorite. If you have a piece of metal that does attract a magnet and want to know if it is an iron meteorite obtain a chemical analysis for the elements iron (Fe) cobalt (Co) nickel (Ni) chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn).
Chat Online· There are different kinds of stress that rocks experience and these determine how the rocks deform.Tensional stress is when rock is stretched apart. This is similar to pulling on a string from both ends after the string has already been fully extended. Compressional stress is when rock is pressed together. Here rocks are squeezed together like a car caught in the middle of a long pile-up on
Chat OnlineFirst you ll need to weigh your specimen. Next find the volume. To find the volume fill the graduated cylinder up with water. On scratch paper record how much water is in the cylinder. Then gently place your rock into the cylinder. Now record how much "stuff" is in the cylinder. Take the larger amount and subtract the smaller amount from it.
Chat Online· Although in many places the rocks are covered with river wind or glacially deposited materials there are few places in British Columbia where rocks cannot be found. A large number of different rock types exist. The identification of common rocks may however be com-plicated by the fact that certain rock types grade into each other.

Chat OnlineInteresting Facts about Rocks and Minerals. A rock is a solid substance that occurs naturally due to geological process of solidification sedimentation and metamorphism. Every rock is made up of various minerals. However a mineral is an inorganic solid that has one chemical composition. The structure of a rock is not uniform.

Conversely trace amounts of radioactive minerals found in these rocks can result in elevated levels of radon in groundwater. Radon in indoor air is a significantly higher health risk than radon in groundwater.

Chat OnlineThere are three types of rocks igneous sedimentary and metamorphic. Each of these types is part of the rock cycle. Through changes in conditions one rock type can become another rock type. Or it can become a different rock of the same type. What Are Rocks A rock is a
Chat OnlineMore About Types of Rocks. Igneous Rocks. These kinds of rocks can look a lot different from each other. Pumice has lots of holes and is very lightweightin fact it can float in water The holes were caused by gas that was trapped in the melted rock before it cooled. Obsidian is heavier all black in color and very smooth.

Chat Online· THE THREE TYPES OF ROCKS. All of the rocks on earth are formed in one of three ways. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and hardens into a rock. Magma and lava are rocks that are so hot they move like a liquid. Magma is molten rock that is underground lava is molten rock that is above the groundand that is the only difference
