This can cool and harden and form igneous rock.
What is magma or lava?
100
These are little pieces of rocks, pebbles, mineral grains, and shell fragments that eventually form rocks.
What are sediments?
100
The way light reflects off of a mineral.
What is luster?
100
This layer contains the crust and upper mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
100
Like our elements, shining a light on a mineral will help determine this.
What is luster?
200
This kind of igneous rock is formed when magma cools beneath the Earth's surface.
What is Intrusive igneous rock?
200
These are two ways that sediments are formed and moved.
What is weathering and erosion?
200
The scale that is used to measure the hardness of minerals.
What is Moh's Hardness Scale?
200
This is the flowing layer of magma on which the crust rests.
What is the asthenosphere?
200
When you are seeing if a mineral can scratch and be scratched you are testing this.
What is the mineral's hardness?
300
This type of igneous rock forms when lava cools on the Earth's surface.
What is Extrusive igneous rock?
300
These 2 things cause metamorphic rocks to form.
What are heat and pressure?
300
Another way to identify minerals; it leaves the color of the powder behind when rubbed against a rough white tile.
What is streak?
300
This causes magma to become an igneous rock.
What is cooling?
300
This is what an igneous rock turns into when it weathers, erodes, then is compacted and cemented.
What is sedimentary rock?
400
For igneous rock to become a metamorphic rock, this must occur.
What is heat and pressure?
400
For an Igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock, what needs to happen?
What is weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation?
400
Fluorite is a mineral with a hardness rating of 4. A copper penny is 3.5. A fingernail is 2.5. Name something that is true about the penny.
What is the fluorite can scratch the penny? Or What is the penny can scratch the fingernail?
400
This causes an igneous rock to become sediment.
What is a weathering?
400
The hardest mineral.
What is a diamond?
500
When the melted sugar in our lab cooled and hardened, we made this type of rock.
What is igneous rock?
500
This causes metamorphic rock to become magma.
What is melting?
500
Check your Mohs Hardness Scale. Name two things that are true about a mineral with a hardness rating of 6.
What is it can scratch anything that is below 6 and it can be scratched by anything above a 6?
500
Marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed from limestone, a sedimentary rock. This needs to occur for marble to form from limestone.
What is increased heat and pressure?
500
When you drag a mineral across a surface to see if it leaves a mark, you are testing this.
What is streak?
