100
When a mineral is scratched across a ceramic plate a powder is left behind, which used to test this mineral property.
What is streak?
100
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and hardeding of this.
What is lava or magma?
100
This word means particles or fragments that create sedimentary rocks.
What is Clastic?
100
Metamorphism is caused by this.
What are heat and pressure?
100
This is the parent rock of slate.
What is shale?
200
When a mineral breaks with perfectly flat edges it is said to have this.
What is cleavage?
200
If an igneous rock is light in color and has relatively low density it is classified as this.
What is Felsic?
200
Particles in streams and rivers are often sorted in this way as they approach the ocean.
What is by particle size? (Largest to smallest)
200
Metamorphism that is caused by an igneous intrusious in sedimentary rock is called this.
What is local contact metamorphism?
200
This is the parent rock of Hornfels.
What is Basalt?
300
Determining whether a mineral is metallic or non-metallic is this mineral property.
What is luster?
300
If an igneous rock forms from the cooling of lava at the Earth's surface it is classified as this.
What is extrusive?
300
Organic sedimentary rocks are often composed of these.
What are fragments of shells from sea creatures?
300
Metamorphism that is caused by pressure changing the stratification of rock layers in a small area is referred to as this.
What is local deformational metamorphism?
300
This rock is created by the cementation of shell fragments from sea creatures.
What is Limestone?
400
This is the test used to find a mineral's hardness.
What is the scratch test? (Glass or Fingernail)
400
This is a coarse grained igneous rock that is non vesiciular and is felsic, it often used to make counter tops.
What is granite?
400
Particles of silt and clay fall out of solution and harden to for these sedimentary rocks.
What are Shale and Siltstone?
400
This is created by the metamorphism of limestone.
What is marble?
400
This clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the cementation of pebbles and cobbles.
What is Conglomerate?
500
These are the 5 requirements of an item that is considered a mineral
What is solid, naturally occuring, inorganic, same chemical formula, and crystal structure?
500
This is a glassy, extrusive igneous rock that is non vesicular and in the past was used to make tools like knives and arrowheads.
What is Obsidian?
500
Name the 3 Clastic sedimentary rocks and the particles from which they are created.
What are Conglomerate, Sandstone, and Shale from Pebbles, Sand, and Clay?
500
This is the parent rock of Gneiss, which is created by the metamorphism of Phyllite.
What is Schist?
500
This rock is formed from the metamorphism of the igneous rock Basalt.
What is Hornfels?
