Why is Color an unreliable
way to identify a mineral?
100 pts.
Please list the five
characteristics of a
mineral.
200 pts.
What scale do we use to determine
the hardness of a mineral?
300 pts.
Describe how to perform a streak
test for a mineral.
400 pts.
What does it mean when we say a
mineral has a definite chemical
composition?
500 pts.
Same mineral can be different colors,
Different minerals can be same colors,
OR
Color can be altered by impurities,
water, and air.
100 pts.
1. Naturally Occurring
2. Inorganic
3. Solid
4. Crystalline Structure
5. Definite Chemical Composition
200 pts.
Mohs Hardness Scale
300 pts.
Scratch a mineral on a porcelain tile
and observe the color of the powder
left on the tile.
400 pts.
Definite Chemical Composition
means the mineral is made up of
the same chemicals/compounds
throughout the whole sample.

• How do Igneous rocks form?
100 pts.
• Where do intrusive and extrusive
igneous rocks form?
200 pts.
• What determines the grain
size of igneous rocks?
300 pts.
• Which type of igneous rock will
typically cool faster, intrusive or
extrusive?
400 pts.
• How do we describe the color of an
igneous rock? (2 terms- what does
each mean?)
500 pts.
Magma/lava cools and hardens
100 pts.
Intrusive= inside the Earth
Extrusive= outside of the Earth.
200 pts.
How fast or slow the magma cools
and hardens.
Fast= fine/small grains
Slow= coarse/big grains
300 pts.
Extrusive will cool faster
400 pts.
Mafic = Dark color
Felsic= Light color
500 pts.
• What are the 3 types of Sedimentary
Rocks?
100 pts.
• What processes are involved in the
formation of Sedimentary Rocks?
200 pts.
• Where does the sediment come
from that will eventually form
sedimentary rocks?
300 pts.
• What is the term for a key feature of
sedimentary rocks when we see rock
layers?
400 pts.
• Please describe each of the three
types of sedimentary rocks.
500 pts.
Clastic
Chemical
Organic
100 pts.
1. Weathering (erosion and
deposition)
2. Compaction
3. Cementation
200 pts.
From other rocks that were
weathered down
300 pts.
Strata= rock layers
400 pts.
Clastic: rock fragments and other
sediment are compacted and cemented
together.
Chemical: minerals dissolved in water
crystallize out
Organic: material from plants and
animals (such as fossils and seashells)
make up the rock.
500 pts.
• What causes the formation of
metamorphic rocks?
100 pts.
• Name and describe the two
textures associated with
Metamorphic rocks.
200 pts.
• How does regional metamorphism
occur? (2 ways)
300 pts.
• How does contact metamorphism
occur?
400 pts.
• How does the composition of a
rock change due to heat and
pressure?
500 pts.
Heat and Pressure
100 pts.
Foliated= mineral grains align in bands
Nonfoliated= not banded
200 pts.
1. Pressure builds up due to
weight of rocks above
2. Pressure builds up due to
pieces of Earth’s crust colliding.
300 pts.
400 pts.
Heat from nearby
magma morphs the rock.
Under enough heat and pressure,
minerals can combine and
recrystallize to form new minerals.
500 pts.
100 pts.
• A rock melts into magma. As magma,
it can only go on to form one type of
rock, which is a(n) ____________
rock.
200 pts.
• The grains of a sedimentary rock are
made out of ___________________,
while the grains of an igneous rock
are made out of ________________.
300 pts.
• What is the Rock Cycle?
400 pts.
• What kind(s) of rock can be morphed
or changed into a metamorphic
rock?
500 pts.
• What determines which direction the
rock cycle will take? (As an old rock
changes into a new rock, what
determines what the new rock will
be?)
Igneous
100 pts.
The grains of a sedimentary rock
are made out of sediments, while
the grains of an igneous rock are
made out of mineral crystals.
200 pts.
The process of turning old rock into
new rock.
300 pts.
• ANY rock!
400 pts.
• The processes that the rock goes
through. (How it is formed!)
500 pts.
