3 kind of rocks
Igneous, Metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks
100
The way a mineral shines
Luster
100
the earth gives a sudden shake
An earthquake
100
big rocks break down because of this
Weathering
100
A rock that contains metal
an ore
200
rock that forms when melted or molten rock from deep below Earth's surface cools and hardens
Igneous
200
measure of how easily a mineral can be scratched
hardness
200
this rapid process affects earth's landform by rushing water
a flood
200
This happens when rocks are changed by chemicals in the air
chemical weathering
200
According to Moh's Hardness scale, the hardest rock is
a diamond
300
rock that forms when sand,particles of rocks, bits of soil, and remains of once-living things are cemented for millions of years
sedimentary
300
The color of a mineral when it is ground to a powder or scratched on a tile
streak
300
These processes happen to a rock to cause it to change into a metamorphic rock
heat and pressure
300
this process makes rocks break into smaller pieces but does not change the rock
physical weathering
300
how do erosion and deposition work in the rock cycle
break rocks down and move them to other place by wind and/or water
400
Rock that forms when existing rock is changed by heat and pressure
Metamorphoric
400
the way a mineral breaks
cleavage
400
If limestone fizzes when it is put in vinegar it contains this mineral
calcite
400
The taking away of weathered rock to another place is called
erosion
400
A fake rock
a mock rock
500
Name a metamorphic type of rock and igneous rock
marble and granite
500
the definition of a mineral
a pure substance
500
a rock is
a solid material that is made of many minerals
500
Plant roots can break a rock apart by
growing inside the cracks of a rock and growing larger and larger
