What type of sedimentary rock is made from solutions of minerals and water?
What is chemical
300
How can you tell if a metamorphic rock is foliated?
What is The minerals are aligned like pages of a book
400

What is 6 iron, 8 oxygen
400
What are the requirements for an object to be considered a mineral?
What is Naturally formed, inorganic solid with a crystalline structure

-What type of igneous rock cools underground? Give an example of this type of rock for an extra point.
What is intrusive; granite, gabbro
400
What are layers of sedimentary rock called?
What is strata
400
What type of metamorphism occurs when rocks are close to magma?

Look at the table of mineral families. Which family does Bornite (Cu3FeS4) belong to?
What is Sulfides

Describe how the hardness of a mineral is determined.
What is Scratch the unidentified mineral with the reference minerals in Moh’s kit, starting with mineral #1 (talc). Move to harder minerals on the scale until you find a mineral that scratches the unidentified mineral. The hardness will be less then the reference mineral that left a scratch, but greater than the mineral that did not scratch it.

How does the rate of cooling affect the size of mineral grains in igneous rocks?
What is Cools slowly = big grains; Cools quickly = small grains
500

What is... this one is boring so you automatically get 500 points! Thank Victoria for letting this happen.
