TEST 4 STUDY GUIDE
Igneous rocks

I can identify the two types
I can infer how and where intrusive igneous rocks are formed by their
properties (crystal size, cooling rate)
I can infer how and where extrusive igneous rocks are formed by their
properties (crystal size, cooling rate).
I can describe how the process of magma cooling forms igneous rocks.


Sedimentary rocks

I can identify the three types
I can infer how sedimentary rocks are formed by their properties (grain size/texture,
presence of organic matter, stratification).
I can describe how weathering and erosion are involved (external processes) in
sedimentary rock formation.
I can describe how compaction and cementatation are involved (external processes) in
sedimentary rock formation.


Metamorphic rocks




I can identify the two types.
I can describe how metamorphic rocks are formed by their properties (foliation vs.
non-foliation).
I can describe how pressure, heat, and recrystalliztion form metamorphic rock.
I can describe how pressurization, heating and recrystalliztion are internal
processes of the rock cycle.
I can describe where in the geosphere metamorphic rocks are formed.
Rock Cycle


I can describe the process of the rock cycle.
I can diagram the internal and external processes of the rock cycle. (below the
surface, at the surface)
I can classify rocks as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
MINERALS


I can differentiate between a rock and a mineral.
What is required to be classified a mineral: (solid, inorganic, naturally occurring,
crystal structure, unique chemical compostion)
I can identify distinguishing properties of minerals.
 Luster, hardness, streak, cleavage/fracture, reaction to magnets, reaction to acids
 I can describe the methods and tools used to identify the distinguishing
properties of minerals
Objecitve: I can describe the process of the rock cycle.
