Rocks
True or False:
Studying a rock's texture can help scientists determine which type of rock it is.
True
I am tested by seeing if it splits alongside the line of cleavage or fracture
What is breakage?
A measure for how easily a mineral can be scratched.
What is hardness?
This shows how one rock changes into another.
What is the rock cycle?
Rocks can change ON the Earth's surface in a variety of ways. Name at least three!
What is deposition, weathering, compaction, cementation or cooling?
what rock cools on the outside of the volcano?
What is extrusive igneous rocks?
An inorganic solid with a unique crystal structure
What is a mineral?
what is my density
36.4g / 14ml
what is 2.6?
The transport or movement of weathered rock particles by agents like water, wind, or ice
What is erosion?
This is formed when dissolved minerals precipitate out of water, often because of evaporation.
What is a Chemical Sedimentary Rock?
Rocks that are formed by fast moving rivers or streams that have polished and rounded the grains.
What is conglomerate?
my formula is d=m/v what am I?
Density
what are are the 5 characteristics of a mineral?
what is
n- naturally occurring
I- inorganic
s- solid
c- crystal structure
d- definite chemical composition
The phase change of solid rock into liquid magma caused by increasing temperatures deep within the Earth.
What is melting?
Unlike typical sedimentary sequences, this unusual rock cycle pathway occurs when a continent-continent collision deeply buries limestone, transforming it directly into a sparkling silicate-free metamorphic rock without ever melting into magma.
