Rocks Part 3 Quiz

Rocks Part 3 Quiz explores the fascinating world of talc rock and its unique properties. In ancient Egypt, talc was used to make decorative carvings and powders because of its softness and smooth texture. Being the softest mineral on the Mohs scale, talc can be scratched easily with a fingernail, making it very different from harder minerals like quartz or diamond. Talc belongs to the silicate mineral group, which means it contains silicon and oxygen in its structure. Learning about talc rock reveals how even the softest minerals have played an important role in human history and industry. This quiz turns these geological facts into fun and accessible learning for anyone curious about Earth’s materials.
