    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_(geology)

    These physical properties are the result of the processes that formed the rocks. [5] Over the course of time, rocks can be transformed from one type into another, as described by a geological model called the rock cycle. This transformation produces three general classes of rock: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

    Pabst [8] calculated the density of delafossite to be 5.52. Contact twinning has been observed in the {0001} direction. [2] The unit cell parameters were calculated to be a = 3.0351 Å, c = 17.166 Å, V = 136.94 Å 3. [9] Delafossite is tabular to equidimensional in habit and has a black streak and a metallic luster.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

    Physics – natural and physical science could involve the study of matter [4] and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. [5] More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. [a] [6] [7] Branches of physics

  9. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    A physical property is any property of a physical system that is measurable. [1] The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. A quantifiable physical property is called physical quantity. Measurable physical quantities are often referred to as observables.
