The two types of Igneous Rocks.
What are extrusive and intrusive?
100
Lava and Magma form these kinds of rocks.
What are Igneous Rocks?
100
An icicle is considered a mineral but water is not due to the fact that an icicle is this.
What is a solid?
100
As you move up in altitude, this happens to the pressure.
What is decreases?
100
High pressure systems move in this direction.
What is clockwise?
200
A rock with fossils is sure to be this kind of rock.
What is sedimentary?
200
Foliation is the alignment of minerals after they go through this process.
What is extreme heat and pressure?
200
Pearly, Resinous, Metallic, and Dull are types of this.
What is luster?
200
A barometer measures this.
What is air pressure?
200
This is the primary factor that creates wind.
What is a difference in air pressure?
300
Banding/Aligning crystals is called this.
What is foliation?
300
Fast cooling lava may trap air in it that cannot escape before cooling, forming this kind of texture in igneous rocks.
What is a vesicular texture?
300
A mineral that breaks in a predictable pattern has this.
What is cleavage?
300
Warm air is less dense, so this is a characteristic of the molecules.
What is "more spread out"?
300
The blue triangular line represents this.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/imaginary-weather-map-of-the-united-states-of-america-859321066-5af09d0f0e23d90037d5c819.jpg)
What is a cold front?
400
Accumulation of dead plant materials would form this kind of rock.
What is a sedimentary rock?
400
These processes are essential in forming sedimentary rocks?
MUST GET: Erosion and deposition
COULD INCLUDE: Weathering, Compaction, Sedimentation
400
An icicle is considered a mineral but an ice cube from the freezer is not due to the fact that an icicle is this.
What is Naturally Occuring?
400
This is a reason why there are no hurricanes on the West Coast of the United States.
What is a lack of warm ocean air/presence of cold ocean air?
400
Cold land areas would form this kind of air mass.
What is "Continental Polar" or cP?
500
A gap in time in layers of rocks.
What is an unconformity?
500
A process when a solution (like water) becomes too full (saturated) with gases and salts to the point where they cannot dissolve them, so they crystallize out of the bottom.
What is Mineral Precipitation?
500
This mineral has this many planes of cleavage and at this angle.
What is 3 planes of cleavage at 90*?
500
This is what happens to warm air at a frontal boundary.
What is "warm air rises, expands, cools, and condenses, forming precipitation?"
500
According to this station model, this is the air pressure.
What is 1099.7 mb?
