    opaque
  • The ground under soil that has been frozen for more than 2 years is called p_______.
    Permafrost
  • What are the 3 sources of energy we can obtain from the lithosphere?
    Thermal/fossil fuel, Nuclear, Geothermal
  • What are the 3 types of fossil fuels?
    Coal, oil, natural gas
  • TRUE or FALSE? Soil fertility needs a very low pH value.
    False
  • Give one possible consequence of permafrost melting.
    Landslide / Building instability / Greenhouse gases
  • Mineral or Ore?
    Mineral
  • Which is LARGER than the other: mineral or rock?
    Rock
  • What is the BOTTOM layer of a soil horizon called, where the soil actually just starts to be made?
    Parent rock
  • An area where there is enough mineral to be mined is called a d________.
    deposit
  • Mineral or Ore?
    Ore
  • What is an advantage of nuclear energy?
    A small amount of uranium makes a lot of energy.
  • What is the TOP layer of a soil horizon filled with?
    Organic matter
  • What kind of scale measures the hardness of a mineral?
    Mohs scale
  • There are 3 types of rocks. The type that are formed from many small pieces accumulated over a long time are called...
    sedimentary
  • This word describes minerals, and it means 'NOT FROM PLANTS OR ANIMALS'.
    inorganic
  • TRUE or FALSE? Soil fertility needs a very high pH value.
    False
  • Complete the phrase: "Allochromatic minerals have a _______ color when they are ______. However, when ______ elements are included, they can have _________ colors."
    clear, pure, trace, many different
  • There are 3 types of rocks. The type that are formed from cooled down magma are...
    igneous
  • How does permafrost melting release greenhouse gases?
    There are chemical reactions happening in the soil (ex: decomposition), and gases like CO2 and CH4 are formed. They are trapped. When ice melts, they escape.
  • There are 3 types of rocks. The type that are formed from intense heat and pressure are...
    metamorphic
  • What is STREAK?
    The color of a mineral when it is drawn on a porcelain plate.
  • OPAQUE, TRANSPARENT or TRANSLUSCENT? (Lets all light pass through)
    transparent
  • Sulfur mineral is always yellow due to its elemental properties. Is it allochromatic or idiochromatic?
    Idiochromatic
  • Which layers make up the lithosphere?
    Crust, topmost mantle
  • What is a disadvantage of geothermal energy?
    Building the power plant is very expensive.
