100

CHARACTER OF MINERALS THAT MEANS THE SUBSTANCE MUST OCCUR IN NATURE

NATURALLY OCCURING

200

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.

MINERAL

300

What are the chemical composition of Quartz

SiO2 or Silicon and Oxygen

400

The property of mineral in which its powders are obtained by rubbing a mineral specimen on an unglazed white porcelain tile.

Streak

500

What is the hardness level of Quartz?

7

ROCKS

100

What are the three types of rocks?

IGNEOUS ROCKS

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

METAMORPHIC ROCKS

200

What is the order of formation of sedimentary rocks

Erosion

Deposition

Compaction

Cementation

300

What rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks?

Metamorphic Rocks

400

What are the two types of Metamorphism. 

Contact Metamorphism and Regional Metamorphism

500

A process in the formation of rocks where minerals that are dissolved in water starts to crystallize and its grains are "glued" together

Cementation

EARTH'S INTERNAL HEAT

100

What are the three main layers of the Earth?

Crust

Mantle

Core

200

Where is the Asthenosphere located?

at the Mantle

300

Which layer of the Core is liquid and is responsible for the rotation of the Earth?

Outer Core

400

Which source of heat is generated by long-term radioactive decay in Earth's interior

Radiogenic Heat

500

What transfer of heat occurs when cooler materials tends to move downward and hotter materials tends to move upwards?

Convection

MAGMATISM

100

A process under the Earth's crust where formation and movement of magma occur.

Magmatism

200

what are the minerals that melts first in the asthenosphere?

Quartz and Feldspar

300

In this process, different minerals in rock melt at different temperature and pressure.

Partial Melting

400

What Elements found in magma next to Oxygen is most abundant?

Silicon

500

Flux melting happens when volatiles are added to hot rocks and it happens in______?

Subduction Region

METAMORPHISM

100

If contact metamorphism occurs mainly by heat, what metamorphism occurs due to changes in pressure?

Regional Metamorphism

200

What are the Factors or Agents of Metamorphism?

Heat, pressure, chemically-active fluids

300

What does "meta" and "morphe" mean?

change & form

400

Because of pressure deep within the earth, Sandstone metamorphosize into________

Quartzite

500

these type of metamorphic rock is formed due to heat from contact metamorphism. It is non-layered.

Non-foliated
