Minerals
Define the difference between Magma and Lava?
What is magma is under Earth's surface and Lava is above Earth's surface?
This is a natural resource found on Earth.
What are minerals?
Define Sediment.
What is broken/tiny pieces of rock?
How can you identify the mineral type?
What is Testing the properties such as Luster, hardness, color, etc.
What is the difference between Erosion and Deposition?
What is Erosion is the movement and Deposition is the collection.

List at least 1 mineral found in house builds.
What is Quartz-windows, Feldspar-bathtubs/toilets, Copper-plumbing fixtures.
This material takes millions to billions of years to transform.
What are rocks?
Explain real world examples of the process of Weathering?
What is rain, snow, glaciers, ocean currents, waves, rivers.
What rock type and characteristic would that rock have if found in the Asthenosphere.
What is Igneous and course grained because it is cooling slowly.
How do minerals form naturally?
What is Precipitation from a solution, Hydrothermal process, Deposition from gas, Crystallization from magma.
What is the difference between Intrusive and Extrusive.
Intrusive is cooling below Earth's surface and Extrusive is cooling above Earth's surface.
Between New Zealand and South America, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, Molten material from the mantle rises through the crust. As the material comes into contact with the very cold ocean water, it cools quickly to become rock. Over time this rock ever so slowly moves across the ocean floor. About 200 million years later the rock is pushed downwards. As the rock moves downward, it experiences great amounts of heat and pressure. Create a flowchart to explain the rock types and processes in order.
