  • What diagram shows the constant way in which rocks can go through processes to become different rocks?
    The Rock Cycle
  • What is happening at location Y
    Water is moving slower causing Deposition
  • What process is represented by number 5:
    Heat and pressure
  • A metamorphic rock → experiences weathering and erosion → compacts and cements→becomes a ________________
    Sedimentary Rock
  • What process is represented by number 3:
    Weathering, Erosion and Deposition
  • A rock → experiences weathering and erosion → compacts and cements→ becomes a sedimentary rock→ gets taken deep underground → goes through extreme heat and pressure → become a _________________
    metamorphic rock
  • Which Property involves testing the color of a mineral’s powder by using a porcelain plate?
    Streak Test
  • Which property has to do with minerals breaking in a pattern?
    Cleavage
  • How do Sedimentary Rocks form?
    Through the weathering, Erosion and Deposition of rocks into sediments. Those sediments then go through Compaction and Cementation to become Sedimentary rocks.
  • Which property involves comparing a mineral to other minerals and objects by scratching them?
    The hardness test
  • What are the Characteristics of every Mineral?
    Solid, Naturally Occuring, Inorganic, Fixed Composition, and Crystal Structure
  • Name the mineral properties.
    Breakage (Cleavage, Fracture), Color, Luster, Streak, Hardness, Density
  • What area of deposition forms from waves moving sand to create a new landform that is in the ocean parallel to the coast?
    Barrier Island
  • What area of deposition is created due to slow moving water? The water is moving so slowly that plants begin to grow on top of it?
    Marshes
  • What process is represented by number 2:
    Cooling and Hardening
  • What process is represented by number 1:
    Melting
  • Which property has to do with minerals breaking randomly?
    Fracture
  • Which property is the least useful?
    Color
  • How do Igneous Rocks form?
    Through the melting, cooling and hardening of magma or lava
  • A rock → melts into lava→ Cools and Hardens → becomes ____________
    an Igneous rock
  • Describe what is forming and what process is causing it to form?
    Delta which is formed by Deposition at the mouth of a river.
  • What are the agents (causes) of erosion?
    Wind, water, gravity and ice
  • Which property involves finding the relationship between the mass and the volume of a mineral?(Mass ➗ Volume)
    Density
  • What is Mechanical Weathering?
    When the composition of the rock stays the same and is just broken.
  • What do we use to test minerals to identify what type of mineral it is?
    Mineral Properties
  • What is happening at location X
    Water is moving faster causing Erosion
  • What is Chemical Weathering?
    When rocks change in composition due to acid dissolving the rocks
  • What is the scale that we use to measure the hardness of Minerals?
    Mohs Hardness Scale
  • What process is represented by number 4:
    Compaction And Cementation
  • How do Metamorphic Rocks form?
    Minerals in the rocks are rearranged and create a new rock by the heat and pressure deep underground.
