How many cats does Mr.Hann have?
two
Why are color and streak not the best identifiers.
Many minerals can share the same color and powder color.
Does the rock cycle have a end?
No
Which type of rock is formed by the cooling of magma?
Intrusive igneous
Why are fossils found only in sedimentary rocks.
The extreme heat needed for igneous and metamorphic rocks to form would melt the fossils.
How are minerals and rocks related.
Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
What are the best two properties to use.
Density and hardness
What geological process occurs at point 3?
WED + CC
The minerals inside of some rocks will change under intense heat and pressure inside Earth. Which type of rock will the changed minerals form?
Metamorphic.
Draw and label a foliated & non-foliated Metamorphic rock.
Foliated rocks have Bands.
Sort the following into a mineral or not T-chart: Ice, salt (halite), water, coal, graphite (pencils)
minerals : salt, ice, graphite
non minerals: water, coal
Draw and label a streak test, breakage test, and hardness test.
streak test should have powder involved, breakage should show cleavage or fracture, and hardness should show a mineral resisting being scratched.
What geological process occurs at point 5?
Heat + pressure
Sandstone is formed when sand becomes buried under new layers of material and, over thousands of years, cements together to form rock. Sandstone can be classified as which type of rock?
Sedimentary
A rock is Multicolored, granular with large grains. Is it sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic?
Igneous
List all mineral characteristics
SNIFC / Nerds in science cant dance
solid-naturally occurring-inorganic-fixed composition- crystal structure.
List Five mineral properties
Density, color, luster, streak, hardness....
What geological process occurs at point 6?
Melting + Cooling & Hardening
How are Sedimentary, Metamorphic, & Igneous rocks formed?
Sedimentary - WED + CC
Metamorphic - Heat + Pressure
Igneous- Melting + cooling & hardening
A rock is Lighter in color, contains fragmented skeletal remains of marine organisms. Is it sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous.
Organic sedimentary.
Are wood and coal considered minerals? Why or Why not?
No: Both come from organic materials. Minerals must be inorganic.
What is the difference between Mineral properties and Characteristics.
Properties classify minerals, characteristics identify minerals.
What geological process occurs at point 4?
WED + CC
How are rocks classified
By how and where they form.
Where would be the best place for Ivy to dig for an igneous rock with large mineral crystals?
Ivy should dig deep in the ground because larger crystals form when magma cools slowly.
