100
Rubbing a mineral across a white, unglazed tile produces this.
What is streak?
100
This plutonic rock is course grained and felsic.
What is granite?
100
This bioclastic sedimentary rock is made from plant remains.
What is Bituminous Coal?
100
This metamorphic rock shows bands of different minerals.
What is Gneiss?
100
Most rocks are made of these.
What are minerals?
200
When a mineral breaks along a flat surface it shows this property.
What is cleavage?
200
This rock cooled so fast it turned to glass.
What is obsidian or basaltic glass?
200
This sedimentary rock will fizz in mild hydrochloric acid.
What is limestone or dolostone?
200
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure without melting this rock is formed.
What is Slate?
200
This is how rocks are classified.
What is how they form?
300
This scale is based upon the relative hardness of common minerals and objects.
What is Moh's hardness scale.
300
This rock has the same mineral composition as granite but contains vesicular gas pockets.
What is pumice or vesicular rhyolite?
300
This clastic sedimentary rock is made from the finest sediment.
What is shale?
300
Exposing sandstone to extreme heat and pressure without melting will make this rock.
What is Quartzite?
300
These rocks form through solidification of magma/lava.
What are igneous rocks?
400
Mineral properties are determined by the arrangement of these.
What are atoms?
400
This volcanic rock contains pyroxene and has fine grained texture.
What is basalt?
400
This sedimentary rock looks like cement.
What is conglomerate?
400
This rock is only made through contact metamorphism.
What is Hornfels?
400
This is how sediments form.
What is weathering and erosion?
500
A mineral must have a crystal structure, solid, definite chemical composition, naturally occur and this.
What is inorganic.
500
This rock cooled deep within the earth and contains plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene
What is gabbro?
500
This rock can form either through evaporation of seawater or cementation of bioclastic parts.
What is Limestone?
500
This mineral is sometimes found in Schist.
