__________________ is a mineral composed exclusively of the element carbon. ___________________ has the same chemical composition as Diamond, which is also pure carbon, but the molecular structure of ______________________ and Diamond is entirely different.

Graphite

What is a Parent Rock? 
A rock before it has metamorphosed, the original form.

________________is a glass-like substance formed when the heat from the first nuclear bomb detonation melted the desert sand in Alamogordo, New Mexico.

Trinitite

Drywall is a construction material consisting of thin panels of _________________ board. It is widely mined and is used as a fertilizer, and as the main constituent in many forms of plaster, blackboard chalk and wallboard.

Gypsum
500
The Mineral _________________ is Extrusive Igneous and is used in lightweight concrete, building materials and soap. 
Pumice
500
How are Sedimentary rocks formed? 
Formed from the compaction and cementation of sediments. 
500
Why are Mountain Ranges generally Metamorphic Rock?
Regional Pressure from Convergent Plate Boundaries produces Metamorphic Rock.

____________________ is a natural glass, or tektite, that was created approximately 15 million years ago when a large meteorite struck the Earth. The impact, which formed the Nördlinger Ries crater in Germany, melted terrestrial rock and some of the meteorite itself, ejecting the molten material into the atmosphere.

Moldavite
