Minerals
100
Rocks are made of these.
What are minerals?
100
Most sedimentary rocks are formed here.
What are oceans?
100
This plutonic rock is course grained and felsic.
What is granite?
100
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure without melting this rock is formed.
What is slate?
100
Rubbing a mineral across a white, unglazed tile produces this.
What is streak?
200
This is how rocks are classified.
What is origin or how they are formed?
200
This bioclastic sedimentary rock is made from plant remains.
What is coal?
200
This rock cooled so fast it turned to glass.
What is obsidian?
200
This metamorphic rock shows bands of different minerals.
What is gneiss?
200
When a mineral breaks along a flat surface it shows this property.
What is cleavage?
300
These rocks are formed from the solidification of magma.
What is igneous?
300
This sedimentary rock will fizz in mild hydrochloric acid.
What is limestone?
300
This rock has the same mineral composition as granite but contains vesicular gas pockets.
What is pumice?
300
This metamorphic rock will fizz under a dilute acid.
What is marble?
300
This scale is based upon the relative hardness of common minerals and objects.
What is Mohs Hardness Scale?
400
These rocks are formed through compaction and cementation.
What is sedimentary rocks?
400
This clastic sedimentary rock is made from the finest sediment.
What is shale?
400
This volcanic rock contains pyroxene and has fine grained texture.
What is basalt?
400
Exposing sandstone to extreme heat and pressure without melting will make this rock.
What is quartzite?
400
Mineral properties are determined by the arrangement of these.
What are atoms?
500
Metamorphic rocks can be naturally made from these types of rock.
What are sedimentary, igneous, or Metamorphic rocks?
500
This sedimentary rock looks like cement.
What is conglomerate?
500
This rock cooled deep within the earth and contains plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene.
What is gabbro?
500
This rock is only made through contact metamorphism.
What is hornfels?
500
This is the ratio of the density of a mineral to the density of water.
What is specific gravity?
