100
The five characteristics that describe a mineral.
What is naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, crystal structure, and a definite chemical composition?
100
It produces a slow cycle that builds, destroys, and changes rocks.
What is a force?
100
When shaking on the surface that results from plate movement.
What is an earthquake?
100
A Volcano.
What is a weak spot in the crust where molten material, or magma, comes to the surface?
100
It is a force that changes a rock's shape or volume.
What is stress?
200
An observation made by rubbing a mineral on a plate.
What is a streak?
200
Sediment that cements together to form a rock.
What is Sedimentary Rock?
200
An area beneath Earth's surface where rock that is under stress breaks and triggers an earthquake.
What is focus?
200
When magma reaches the surface.
What is lava?
200
Stress that stretches rock until it breaks.
What is tension?
300
It describes how light is reflected from a mineral's surface.
What is Luster?
300
When wind and water have an affect on Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rock.
What is erosion?
300
The point on the surface directly above the focus.
What is epicenter?
300
Where two plates pull apart and lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor.
What is a diverging plate boundary?
300
Stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
What is compression?
400
It is the hardest known mineral.
What is a diamond?
400
When heat and pressure change a Sedimentary or Igneous Rock.
What is metamorphic rock?
400
Waves that carry energy away from the focus.
What are seismic waves?
400
Where two plates collide and rock above subducts, melts, and forms lava.
What is a converging plate boundary?
400
Stress that pulls rock in two opposite directions until it breaks or changes shape.
What is shearing?
500
The mineral that broke apart into a single plane in the lab.
What is mica?
500
Rock that is formed from cooling lava.
What is Igneous Rock?
500
Waves that compress, expand, vibrate from side to side and up and down, and reach the surface.
What are P, S, and surface waves?
500
It is a circle of volcanoes and also a Johnny Cash song.
What is the Ring of Fire?
500
The three results from rock movement.
What is a normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault?
