Density
What is the formula to calculate density
Density = Mass/Volume
What is the name of the 0 degree line of Latitude
Equator
What property is the first property you need to know when using the Mineral Flowchart?
Luster
What is required for a rock to undergo metamorphism?
Heat and Pressure
If a rectangle has the measurements of 35 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm and a density of 27g/cm3 what is the mass?
283,500 g/cm3
If the density of an object is 36 g/ml and the mass is 102g, what is the volume?

The Prime Meridian breaks up the Earth into two hemispheres. What compass directions are the two hemispheres?
East and West
What minerals bubble with acid?
Calcite and Dolomite
What is an example of an evaporite?
Rock Salt or Gypsum
When Shale undergoes metamorphism, what is the pattern of rocks it goes through as it goes from low-grade to high-grade metamorphism?
Shale -> Slate -> Phyllite -> Schist -> Gneiss
What is the density of water?
1.0 g/ml
What is the highest degree of longitude?
180
What mineral will scratch a penny but not glass, has no cleavage and is metallic?
Chalcopyrite
What is the difference between and Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rock
Intrusive - Formed underground by magma - big crystals
Extrusive - Formed near the surface by lava - small crystals
What are the 5 requirements for an object to be a mineral?
1. Solid
2. Inorganic
3. Definite Chemical Composition
4. Naturally Occurring
5. Crystalline Structure
How does the size and shape of an object effect the density of an object?
No change/effect
Same Material = Same Density
What city is someone in if the angle of Polaris is 45 degrees
Massena
What is the difference between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage - clean breaks - cut with a knife
Fracture- breaks apart randomly
What is the difference between contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism?
Contact - Touching - From Igneous rocks
Regional - Large area - From Tectonic Plates
Explain why ice floats on water.
Ice is less dense since it expands when it freezes.
What is the relationship between Temperature and Density?
Hotter Temp = Less Dense
Colder Temp = More Dense
What is the latitude and longitude of Niagara Falls to the nearest degree?
43o N, 79o W
What are two properties that would help you to distinguish between Halite and Calcite
Directions of cleavage (90 vs not at 90), reaction to acid, hardness, taste
What minerals are the first to crystalize in Igneous Rocks
Olivine and Calcium-rich Plagioclase Feldspar
Explain how Graphite and Diamond are both made from Carbon but have very different properties.
Internal Arrangement of Atoms are different
