This kind of rock is made from many layers of sediment compacting and cementing together.

The test do scientists run to see the color of powder that a mineral leaves when it is scratched on a special plate.
What is the streak test

In your own words, explain the rock cycle.
What is a never ending cycle where rocks go through change from Magma/Lava, Igneous Rock, Metamorphic Rock, Sediment, and Sedimentary Rock.
100
Water, ice, gravity, and wind can work together to move pieces of big rocks, this process is called
What is Erosion
200
I am eroded material that end up settling on land or at the bottoms of lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans.
What is Sediment
200
This is the stuff that comes out of a volcano.
What is magma/lava
200
If something is dull, metallic, pearly, glassy, etc. we are looking at this.
What is luster
200
Lava cools quickly to form
What is Igneous Rock
200
Bigger rocks being broke down into small rocks by temperature change, living things, rain, etc., this process is called
What is Weathering
300
the way a mineral reflects light
What is Luster
300
This is the rock that is formed after molten rock cools on or in a volcano.
What is Igneous Rock
300
If one mineral isn't able to scratch another mineral, we are checking for this.
What is hardness
300
Metamorphic rock is heated up and turns into
What is magma
300
The difference between weathering and erosion?
What is Weathering breaks down the rocks, and Erosion is the actual movement of rocks from one place to another.
400
Water, ice, gravity, and wind can work together to move pieces of big rocks called
What is erosion
400
This rock if formed by heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock
400
If one mineral is harder than another its number on the scale should be.
What is higher
400
Metamorphic rock is weathered and turns into sediment, which then what happens
What is the sediment is cemented together to make sedimentary rock.
400
Name three things that can cause erosion.
What is glaciers, rivers/streams, wind, oceans, gravity.

Bigger rocks being broke down into small rocks by temperature change, living things, rain, etc. is called
What is weathering
500
I am made from bits of pieces of rock, sand, dirt, plants and animals. _______________________
What is Sedimentary Rock
500
The name for the scale of hardness is
What is Mohs
500
Give me two changes that could happen in the rock cycle
What is any answer on page 249 in textbook.

Name the two kinds of weathering, and explain them.
What is What is Physical Weathering- the size of the rock changes. Rain, ice, water, etc. break down the rocks.
Chemical Weathering- the materials in the rock change. A chemical changes and breaks down the rocks.
