Minerals and Rocks

These review activities go over mineral properties, Moh's scale, rock cycle, and rock types.

AB
CrystallizationProcess by which a mineral grows
DiamondMineral with the hardness of 10
FractureMineral breaks rough, uneven or bumpy
CleavageMineral breaks evenly in smooth flat surfaces
StreakPowder produced when a mineral is ground up
TalcThe softest mineral with a hardness of 1
QuartzThe most abundant silicate mineral on the earth
SilicatesRock forming minerals containing silicon and oxygen
ColorThe least relicable of test used to identify minerals
LusterThe way the surface of mineral reflects light
Specific GravityThe density of a mineral compared with the density of water
RocksAn aggregate (combination) of one or more minerals
Three rock typesIgneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Intrusive rockIgneous rock with large coarse crystal grains
LimestoneFormed organically from seashells
Rocks containing fossilsSedimentary Rock
Metamorphic RockRocks formed from existing rock through heat, pressure, and chemical reactions
Igneous RockRock formed when molten rock cools and hardens
Rock CycleThe continuous process in which rocks change from one type to another
Extrusive RocksRocks that form as magma cools quickly as it leaves volcanoes.
GraniteOne of the most common intrusive rocks
ShaleMost commone sedimentary rock and indicates places where ancient seas covered the land
MeltingProcess by which rock becomes magma
Weathering and ErosionProcesses by which Clastic Rock forms
Volcano or RiftGeological phenomena most likely to produce igneous rocks
