The characteristics of minerals are they are naturally occurring, inorganic, have a definite chemical composition, an orderly crystalline structure, and this which is explains why water is not a mineral but ice is.
What is a solid
100
This is when there are any changes in the original shape and or size of a rock.
What is deformation
100
Foreshocks are before a major earthquake and these occur after.
What are aftershocks
100
These are particles produced in volcanic eruptions.
What is pyroclastic material
100
Folding is the result of this kind of stress.
What is compressional stress
200
The hardness of minerals is measured on this scale which says that a diamond has a hardness of 10, quartz 7, and talc 1.
What is Mohs scale
200
The type of deformation in which the object returns to the original shape after a stress is removed is called elastic and the type of deformation in which the object permanently changes size and shape without fracturing is called this.
What is ductile deformation
200
The epicenter is the place on the surface of the Earth directly above this, which is the underground source of the earthquake.
What is the focus
200
This plays a role in determining the form of a volcano.
What is magma composittion
200
Mountains are classified by this.
What is how they are formed
300
An atom is made up of electrons which orbit the nucleus that is made up of these two things.
What are protons and neutrons
300
Tensional, compressional, and shear of types of this that rocks undergo.
What is stresses
300
This certain body wave travels the fastest of the earthquake waves with surface waves traveling the slowest and causing the most damage.
What are P waves
300
Composition of the material, confining pressure, and water content all are factors that affect this property of a rock.
What is melting point
300
Mineral formation under high temperatures and pressures occurs here.
What is deep within the Earth.
400
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons that element has as well as electrons. The mass number is the number of these two combined.
What are protons and neutrons
400
This means mountain building.
What is orogenesis
400
This is a succession of ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami
400
Magma rises because rocks do this when they melt.
What is become less dense
400
Most active volcanoes are found along this place.
What is the Ring of Fire
500
A metallic bond is when electrons are shared by metal ions, a covalent bond is when two elements share electrons, and an ionic bond is when this happens.
What is transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal
500
Isostacy is the concept of a floating crust in gravitational balance. This force controls the isostatic adjustment.
What is gravity.
500
The safest area during an earth quake is made of this kind of bedrock.
What is granite bedrock
500
Pahoehoe lava flows are generally smooth a look "ropey" while aa lava flows look like this.
What is rough surface, jagged blocks, sharp angular projections
500
This is an accumulation of different sedimentary and metamorphic rocks combined with scraps of ocean crust.
