Study Guide Rocks and Minerals Vocabulary: Cleavage rocks natural resource ore gem specific gravity crystal mineral striation luster hardness streak fracture Moh’s Hardness Scale mining reclamation Draw the rock cycle and explain how the three types of rock are related to each other. Identify chemical properties and physical properties of a rock or mineral and explain the difference between these. How can you use chemical and physical properties? What are the characteristics of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks? How can you identify a type of rock using these characteristics? What types of natural resources are considered fossil fuels? Why is it important for us to understand what they are and how they are used? What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks? What is the difference between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks? What are the 4 stages of coal formation and why is this important? How does a nuclear power plant create energy? Why should we be interested in type of energy source? The sun produces energy by fusion. Is this a reasonable way to create energy on earth or not? Why? If you are mining for minerals, what kinds of things do you have to consider and why?
