100
The composition of rocks
What are minerals?
100
The composition of the Earth's crust
What are rocks?
100
This is produced by high temperatures generated when magma comes into contact with rocks.
What is thermal metamorphism?
100
Breaking of rocks. (Specific name for this process)
What is weathering?
100
The study of the science of the Earth's solid formation and rocks.
What is geology?
200
The colour of the mineral when it is crushed into powder.
What is streak?
200
When magma cools down slowly under the Earth
What are plutonic rocks?
200
This is produced by high pressure, (not by high temperatures) and affects large surfaces.
What is regional metamorphism?
200
Sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous
What are rocks/rock categories?
200
Molten material found beneath the surface of the Earth
What is magma?
300
This measures the ease or difficulty with which a mineral may be scratched.
What is density, hardness, and fracture?
300
When magma cools down slowly as it comes out of the volcano.
What are volcanic rocks?
300
Slate and shale
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
300
The formation of these rocks by solar energy and gravity (exogenous geologic processes).
What are sedimentary rocks?
300
Weathered material that is transported from one place to another
What is erosion?
400
The only mineral that can not be scratched by any other mineral
What is diamond?
400
Magmatic and metamorphic rocks are formed by this process, with the help of geothermal energy.
What is the endogenous geological process?
400
The rocks have crystallized minerals in different directions.
What are non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
400
Diagenesis consists of these two processes.
What are compression and cementation?
400
Remains of organisms or footprints of past living things formed in sedimentary rocks
What are fossils?
500
The shape, colour, streak density, and hardness of a mineral
What are properties of minerals?
500
The opposite of the endogenous geological processes, dealing with the energy of the sun and gravity.
What is the exogenous geological process?
500
Metamorphic rocks formed through this process
What is metamorphism?
500
Sands and clays
What are sedimentary detrital rocks?
500
Sediments deposited on basins forming parallel layers.
What are strata?
