This property of minerals is determined by trying to scratch it by other materials.
What is hardness?
100
The liquid-like rock under the Earth's surface is called..
What is magma?
100
This is what happens to water when it is given heat energy.
What is it evaporates?
100
This weather tool is used to measure wind direction.
What is a wind vane/weather vane?
100
This type of rock can trap gases and be able to float.
What is an igneous rock? (Pumice)
200
This property of minerals is determined by rubbing the mineral across a steak plate.
What is streak?
200
Once lava cools on Earth's surface, it forms this type of rock.
What is igneous rock?
200
This is what happens to water when it loses heat energy.
What is condensation?
200
This type of precipitation is formed during thunderstorms when a rain droplet freezes and is tossed up and down in a cloud refreezing many layers on it until it eventually gets to heavy for the cloud and falls to Earth.
What is hail?
200
This is what water is called when it is in the air around us.
What is water vapor?
300
This property of minerals is determined by trying to see how light reflects off of a mineral.
What is luster?
300
This type of rock is formed by either heat, pressure, or both from Earth's crust.
What is metamorphic rock?
300
Clouds are made up of millions of these.
What is water droplets/ice crystals?
300
This weather instrument is used to measure wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
300
This is an example of a source of liquid water on Earth's surface.
What is a lake, river, stream, creek, pond, marsh, ocean, etc.?
400
This type of rock could be identified based on it having even layers or it has sediments that are cemented together.
What is a sedimentary rock?
400
This type of rock is formed by pressure from Earth's surface/crust. Over time sediments can become cemented together.
What is sedimentary rock?
400
This is what water is called when it falls down to Earth from clouds.
What is precipitation?
400
This weather tool is used to measure air pressure (how much the air weighs).
What is a barometer?
400
Earth can change very rapidly. What are three ways that it can change rapidly?
What is volcanic eruption, earthquake, flood, landslide, drought, tsunami, etc.?
500
This type of rock could be identified by it having layers that are not even, but instead are twisted.
What is a metamorphic rock?
500
This is when rock is broken down into smaller sediments.
What is weathering?
500
This is the engine for the water and rock cycle. It provides all the energy needed for Earth to "drive" these cycles.
What is the Sun.
500
This weather tool measures how much rain, snow, and sleet has fallen over a given time.
What is a rain gauge?
500
This is what erosion is.
What is the carrying away of rocks/sediments from one place to another?
