These two imaginary lines create a grid system for determining location on Earth.
What are Latitude and Longitude?
100
These characteristics help to identify minerals.
What are luster, hardness, streak and color?
100
This type of rock forms from molten material under the ground or on the surface, from a volcano.
What is Igneous Rock?
100
This is the very top (outer) solid layer of the Earth (like the chocolate on the outside of a Milky Way Bar).
What is the Crust?
100
These earthquake waves push.
What are P-Waves?
200
Latitude measures or tells you how far . . .
What is how far North or South you are of the Equator?
200
This is weather or not a mineral can be scratched.
What is Hardness?
200
This type of rock forms from sediments.
What is Sedimentary Rock?
200
Convection currents occur here (like the caramel of the milky way) below the crust.
What is Mantle?
200
These earthquake waves move the fastest.
What are P-Waves?
300
Longitude measures or tell you how far . . .
What is how far East or West you are of the Prime Meridian?
300
This is what is on a white ceramic tile after dragging a mineral across it.
What is Streak?
300
This type of rock forms from heat and pressure.
What is Metamorphic Rock?
300
This is the solid inner most layer in the center of the earth
What is the Core?
300
These earthquake waves are the most destructive.
What are S-Waves?
400
When writing down a location coordinates this always comes first.
What is Latitude?
400
This characteristic is how light reflects off of a mineral.
What is Luster?
400
This type of rock is usually the only rock that you will find fossils in.
What is Sedimentary Rock?
400
This type of sandwich has many layers and it is abbreviated BLT.
What is a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich?
400
These waves move from side to side like a snake.
What are S-Waves?
500
These two characteristics are how a mineral breaks with clean edges in a very specific pattern and this is how a rock crumbles or shatters when broken.
What is Cleavage or Fracture?
500
This is molten material (liquid rock) under the ground and this is molten material on the surface - both formed by volcanoes.
What is magma and lava?
500
This type of lamp shows you what convection currents look like.
What is a Lava Lamp?
500
This is evidence for Continental Drift / Plate Tectonics
What is the same fossils are on different continents and
the continents fit together like puzzle pieces?
