Rock Cycle Test Study Guide
Be able to read these graphics:
ANY ROCK CAN BECOME ANY OTHER KIND OF ROCK if it goes through the process necessary for the rock to form.
Be able to interpret data from a hardness scale
Be able to make an inference based on rock density using information from a data table.
Crystal size depends on the time it takes to cool: long time = large crystals; short time= small crystals
Granite is a rock
Igneous: melting, cooling, hardening, lava, magma
Know that to determine density, you need to measure volume (ruler, beaker or graduated cylinder) and mass
(graduated cylinder) and a calculator
Know the key words for how each rock is formed:
Lava on top of earth’s surface produces extrusive igneous rock.
Magma below earth’s surface produces intrusive igneous rock
Metamorphic: heat and pressure, chemical change
Quartz is a mineral
Rocks are made of minerals
Sedimentary: weathering, erosion, wind, water, ice, deposition, compaction, cementation, layers
The property that Mohs hardness scale tests is how easily a mineral can be scratched.
EXAMPLES OF ROCKS FROM JOURNAL:
Sandstone - Sedimentary
Gneiss - Metamorphic
Limestone - sedimentary
Granite - igneous
Slate - Metamorphic
obsidian - igneous
