100
When exposed to high temperatures, a rock does this
What is Melts
100
The measure of how easily a material can be scratched
What is hardness
100
Rock that began as magma
What is Igneous
100
When Magma is cooled, it's turned into this
What is Igneous Rock
100
Molten rock found beneath the surface of the Earth
What is Magma
200
When exposed to low temperatures, a rock does this
What is Cools
200
The way a mineral reflects light
What is Luster
200
Sediments deposited in layers that are cemented and compacted together to form this rock
What is Sedimentary
200
When Sedimentary rock is weathered and eroded, it becomes this
What is Sediments
200
Light colored rocks
What is Felsic
300
When sediments are this, they turn into Sedimentary Rock
What is Cemented and Compacted
300
Color of mineral the rock is in powdered form
What is Streak
300
When a rock is changed, it's called this
What is Metamorphic
300
When Igneous rock is exposed to heat and pressure, it turns into this rock
What is Metamorphic Rock
300
Dark colored rocks
What is Mafic
400
Rocks can do these two things to turn into sediments
What is Weathering and Erosion
400
A break among smooth, flat surfaces
What is Cleavage
400
An igneous rock formed inside of a volcano
What is Intrusive Igneous
400
When Sedimentary Rock is melted, it becomes this
What is Magma
400
Takes longer to cool, giving mineral crystals more time to grow
What is Coarse-grained
500
Rocks are morphed by this type of transformation
What is Heat and Pressure
500
Break with uneven, rough, jagged surfaces
What is Fracture
500
An igneous rock formed outside of a volcano
What is Extrusive Igneous
500
When Sediments are compacted, THEN exposed to heat and pressure, they become this
What is Metamorphic Rock
500
Cools quickly with little to no crystals
What is Fine-grained
