Weathering and Erosion
100
Broken pieces of rock that can be cemented together to form a sedimentary rock.
What are sediments?
100
These rocks are produced by cooling lava or magma.
What are igneous rock?
100
Rocks that change from heat and pressure
What are metamorphic rocks?
100
A mineral that breaks into smooth regular planes
What is cleavage
100
A mechanical or chemical process that breaks down rocks.
What is weathering?
200
Sediments can be made into sedimentary rocks by these processes
What are cementation and compaction?
200
This igneous rock is formed below the Earth's surface from slow cooling Magma.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
200
Metamorphic Rocks that have visible layers of minerals.
What is foliated?
200
The way a mineral reflects light off its surface.
What is luster
200
Rocks broken down by Freezing and thawing of water
What is Ice wedging?
300
This sedimentary rock is formed from the remains of living things such as plants and animals.
What is fosiliferous or organic rock
300
This igneous rock is formed above the Earth's surface from quickly cooling lava
What are intrusive igneous rocks
300
Metamorphic rocks with no visible bans of minerals.
What are non-foliated?
300
The color left behind when a mineral is rubbed across a ceramic tile.
What is streak?
300
Rocks broken down by burrowing animals.
What is mechanical weathering
400
Of the three which is a sedimentary rock gabbro, limestone or granite.
What is limestone?
400
A rock formed by quick cooling and has no visible grains and is often called volcanic glass
What is obsidian?
400
Process where rocks can change from one type to another and back again
What is the rock cycle
400
A Mohs scale measurement from 1-10 that measures whether a mineral can scratched or be scratched by another mineral.
What is Hardness
400
Breaking down rocks by natural acids
What is chemical weathering?
500
These Sedimentary rocks are created by minerals that were once dissolved in water and they come out such as halite
What are Chemical sedimentary rocks?
500
Intrusive igneous rocks that are light colored rocks that are made of a high percentage of silicates
What is granitic?
500
A sedimentary rock can change to a metamorphic rock by
What is Heat and pressure.
500
The comparison between the weight of a mineral and the of an equal volume of water
What is specific gravity?
500
The wearing away and removal of rock and sediment from wind, gravity and water.
