What is a natural, nonliving substance that makes up rocks?
Mineral
200
A type of rock that forms from melted rock that cools and hardens.
What is igneous rock?
200
This process involves wind, water, and ice moving rocks.
What is erosion?
200

What is the softest mineral?
Talc
300
What do we use Moh's scale for?
To test how hard a mineral is
300
Inorganic, crystal structure, naturally occurring, and a definite chemical composition
Minerals

During the rock cycle, how can a rock become an igneous rock?
Any rock can melt and cool to form an igneous rock.
300
What types of rocks are formed from extreme heat and pressure?
Metamorphic Rocks
300
What is the hardest mineral?
Diamond
400
A type of rock formation that looks like it has many different layers and each layer has many different rocks.
What is sedimentary?
400
This process allows wind, water, and ice to break apart rocks.
What is weathering
400
How can some rocks become metamorphic during the rock cycle?
Heat and Pressure
400
Can more than one mineral share the same properties?
No, each mineral has its own set of properties. No two minerals have the same exact set of properties.

Name 4 properties of identifying minerals.
-color-luster- -streak -hardness
500
The continuous process in which one type of rock changes into another type.
What is the rock cycle?
500
Dropping weathered rock by wind or moving water.
What is deposition?
500
In the rock cycle, what breaks rocks into sediments and carries them away?
Weathering and Erosion
500
What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?
Intrusive-in or under the ground
Extrusive-on or above the ground
500
Name three of the five characteristics that identify minerals
solid, inorganic, natural, definite chemical composition, crystalline structure
600
Which characteristic do diamonds share with all minerals?
They have an orderly crystal structure.
600
Minerals form in caves on the ceiling and the floor. What causes cave minerals to form in this way
Groundwater carrying dissolved materials combines with surface water and causes minerals to precipitate out of the solution.
600
This can form perfect cubes when it breaks. What kind of mineral could this be?
What is Halite?
