  • What type of metamorphic rock is generated from the transformation of clay?
    slate
  • If an igneous rock is kept in class for 6 months, will it become metamorphic? Explain.
    No, it needs lots more time, heat, and pressure.
  • It is used in toohpaste
    fluorite
  • It consists of quartz, feldspar and mica
    granite
  • What colour is the mineral Sulphur?
    Yellow
  • What do all rocks on Earth have in common? A) same size; B) same color; C) they all have minerals; D) same shape
    C) they all have minerals
  • What caused these rocks to get their shape?
    Weathering ( Wind and Water)
  • Give an example of metamorphic rock
    marble, slate, schist,gneiss, quarzite
  • An inorganic, solid substance ocurring naturally in the earth
    mineral
  • Glass is made from the mineral
    quartz
  • Fossils are mainly found in
    sedimentary rocks
  • The substance's mass per unit of volume
    density
  • Which mineral is the hardest?
    diamond
  • The resistance of a mineral to scratching
    hardness
  • A hole or systems of holes in the ground where minerals and rocks are removed
    mine
  • Name the three types of rock
    Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic
  • Coal and oil come from the remains of
    living beings
  • It's used to make plaster
    gypsum
  • Where do we find rocks and minerals?
    Earth's crust
  • What does this picture show?
    The Rock Cycle
  • Two types of rocks the crust is primarily made of
    granite and basalt
  • Metamorphic rock is made when
    Sedimentary or igneous rock is changed by pressure, heat, or both.
  • Any solid inorganic substance with a regular shape
    crystal
  • The rock cycle suggests that
    rocks are continuously recycled and change from one type to another.
  • What are rocks made of?
    minerals
  • What type of rock can we see in the image?
    sedimentary rock ( conglomerate)
  • What proceses breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
    weathering and erosion
  • What kind of rock can we see in the picture?
    a volcanic rock (pumice)
  • What type of rock can we see in the picture?
    a metamorphic rock (slate)
  • Which of these is a metamorphic rock? A) Granite B) Marble C) Limestone D) Basalt
    B) Marble
  • What is lustre?
    The way in which light is reflected from the surface of a mineral
  • Compaction and cementation will form...
    sedimentary rocks
  • This mineral is used to conserve anf flavour foods
    halite
  • A scale of hardness using to classifying minerals
    Mohs scale
  • Give one example of sedimentary rock
    sandstone, limestone, conglomerate, clay, coal
  • Which value on the Mohs scale corresponds to the hardest minerals?
    10
