Earth Science Topic 8: Rocks and Minerals Use Topic11 Earth’s Materials-Minerals, Rocks and Natural Resources pg.219 The assignments must be handed in by the due date. You may hand the assignments in early if you complete them ahead of time. Chapter Objectives: 1. Explain how physical properties of minerals are determined by their chemical compositions and crystal structures. 2. Describe how minerals can be identified by well-defined physical and chemical properties, such as cleavage, fracture, color, specific gravity, hardness, streak, luster, crystal shape, and reaction with acid. 3. Explain that chemical composition and physical properties determine how minerals use minerals. 4. Describe how minerals are formed inorganically by the process of crystallization as a result of specific environmental conditions. These include: a. Cooling and solidification of magma b. Precipitation from water caused by such processes as evaporation, chemical reactions, and temperature changes c. Rearrangement of atoms in existing minerals subjected to conditions of high temperature and pressure 5. Explain that rocks are usually composed of one or more minerals. 6. Describe how rocks are classified by their origins, mineral contents, and textures. 7. Explain how the characteristics of rocks indicate the process by which they formed and the environments in which these processes took place. 8. Describe how the properties of rocks determine their uses and also influence land usage by humans. 1) Homework Assignments: You may work with you group to complete the assignments but you each must each hand the assignments.
