This can cool and harden and form igneous rock.
Magma or lava
100
These are little pieces of rocks, pebbles, mineral grains, and shell fragments that eventually form rocks.
Sediments

What is the difference of luster and diaphaneity?
Luster is the behavior of light as it is reflected by the surface of the mineral while diaphaneity is a mineral’s degree of transparency or ability to allow light to pass through it.
100
It is refers to the geometric shape of mineral crystals.
Crystal form/crystal habits
100
The process of rocks changing from one kind of rock to another kind of rock over long periods of time.
Rock cycle
200
This kind of igneous rock is formed when magma cools beneath the Earth's surface.
Intrusive igneous rock?
200
Metamorphic Rocks that have formed in an environment without directed pressure or relatively near the surface with very little pressure. It do not have a platy or sheet like structure.
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks
200
The scale that is used to measure the hardness of minerals
Moh's Hardness Scale
200
This mineral is also known as fool's gold.
Pyrite
200
This results when uneven pressures cause flat minerals to line up, giving the rock a layered or stripped appearance.
Foliation
300
This type of igneous rock forms when lava cools on the Earth's surface.
Extrusive igneous rock?
300
These 2 things cause metamorphic rocks to form.
Heat and pressure
300
Another way to identify minerals; it leaves the color of the powder behind when rubbed against a rough white tile.
Streak

Give the 5 characteristics of a mineral
1. Naturally occurring
2. Inorganic
3. Solid
4. Definite chemical composition
5. has an ordered atomic arrangement or Crystalline Structure

What happens if an igneous rock weathers? What rock does it turn into?
Sedimentary rock
400
This type of igneous rock is black with a glassy texture.
Obsidian
400
For an Igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock, what needs to happen?
Weathering and lithification
400
What are the large crystals/mineral grains found in porphyritic rocks?
Phenocrysts
400
This is a diagram which determined that specific minerals form at specific temperatures as a magma cools
Bowen's Reaction Series

500
It is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from weathering and erosion.
Clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks
500
The type of sedimentary rock that can contain fossils.
Organic sedimentary rock
500
Identify this mineral. Clue: It is the mineral found in pencils.
Graphite
500
It is a kind of metamorphism which takes place when an igneous intrusion heats up the rocks into which it intrudes.
Contact metamorphism
500
State the 7 major mineral groups
Silicates, sulfides, oxides, carbonates, phosphates, halides, and native elements.
