These are three criteria that must be true for something to be a mineral.
What is solid, inorganic, and naturally made?
100
This is how igneous rocks are formed in the rock cycle.
What is through melting and solidification?
100
This is a way sedimentary rocks form that is not on the ESRT rock cycle.
What is chemical precipitation?
100
These processes are how metamorphic rocks are formed.
What are heat and pressure?
100
This is the most complete explanation of a renewable resource.
What is a natural resource that can be replenished within a human life span?
200
These are the elements found in a silicate mineral.
What are silicon and oxygen?
200
This is where igneous rocks are typically found.
What is near volcanoes?
200
This is something that only sedimentary rocks can contain which helps use learn about how Earth used to be.
What are fossils?
200
This metamorphic rock property shows as alternating light and dark minerals.
What is banding?
200
This is where the energy of fossil fuels initially comes from.
What is the sun?
300
This metallic mineral can sometimes be found in batteries.
What is galena?
300
This is the difference between a volcanic or plutonic rock.
What is that volcanic rocks form above ground from lava and plutonic rocks form below ground from magma?
300
This bioclastic sedimentary rock reacts with acid.
What is limestone?
300
This fine grained metamorphic rock containing various minerals like amphibole formed by contact metamorphism.
What is hornfels?
300
This is how farmers try to conserve soil.
What is plow perpendicular to a hill or rotate crops?
400
This mineral is typically green and breaks roughly.
What is olivine?
400
This mafic igneous rock has no cystrals.
What is basaltic glass?
400
These processes leads to the formation of sediments.
What is weathering and erosion?
400
This foliated metamorphic rock formed from regional metamorphism of clay or feldspars.
What is schist?
400
This explains global warming.
What is the rise in the average temperature of the earth due to an increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere?
500
This is what causes the different physical properties of a mineral.
What is the internal arrangement of atoms?
500
This low density rock containing the quartz sometimes floats in water as it is vesicular.
What is pumice or What is vesicular rhyolite?
500
This parent rock of slate may look like dried clay.
What is shale?
500
This causes contact metamorphism.
What is an intrusion or What is an extrusion?
500
These are three ways society tries to conserve our natural resources.
What is reduction, recycling, and replacement?
