Ways to Classify a Mineral
This is the easiest way to classify a mineral. Just look at it
Color
This type of plate boundary moves away from each other
divergent
This is the breaking of rock
Weathering
This type of rock is made from a Volcano
Igneous
This is a natural diaster that causes the ground to shake
Earthquake
This is if the mineral is shiny or pearly
Luster
This type of plate boundary slides past each other
This is the taking of weathered rock
eroision
This type of rock is made from pieces of sediment in layers over time
sedimentary
This is the point on Earth directly above where an earthquake happens
epicenter
This is if the mineral bubbles when it comes in contact with acid
acid reaction
This type of plate boundary crashes into each other
convergent
What are the two types of weathering?
physical and chemical
In this type of rock you can find fossils
Sedimentary
What do you call it when ice cracks a rock, breaking it down?
Weathering
using the Moh's scale, you determine the minerals
Hardness
This is waht you call the place on the earth where the plates meet and move
fault
This is when something new is created, or sediment is dropped
deposition
This type of rock is when a rock goes under heat and pressure
Metamorphic
What do you call it when a river picks up rock pieces and carries them away
erosion
This is when you break a mineral with a hammer, and it is how the mineral breaks.
Cleavage
Name the two landforms that can be made by plate boundaries
Volcanoes and Mountains
Name three ways that weathered rock can be moved
Wind, Water, ice
Name two things that sediment is made of
What is the hardest mineral on Earth?
Diamond
