What determines the physical
properties of a mineral?
The internal arrangement of
atoms
This term describes the way
non-crystalline minerals
break.
Fracture
What kind of minerals
bubble when they
contact acid?
Carbonates
The tendency of some
minerals to break along
straight lines forming flat
surfaces is called
Cleavage
Identify the structure
shown in the diagram
AND tell what class
of minerals it forms.
Silicon-Oxygen
Tetrahedron.
Forms SILICATES
Name a fine grained igneous
rock containing amphibole,
plagioclase, and pyroxine.
Basalt
A non-vesicular igneous rock
with glassy texture and which
contains potassium feldspar
is
Obsidian
Name a high density, MAFIC,
intrusive igneous rock.
Gabbro
DAILY
DOUBLE
This igneous rock is light
colored, and has grain that are
10mm or larger.
Pegmatite
The size of the crystals found
in an igneous rock is
determined by its........
Rate of cooling
How are land-derived
sedimentary rocks classified?
By particle (grain) size
What three processes must
occur in order for loose
sediment to be made into
sedimentary rock?
Burial – Compaction &
Cementation
Name the land-derived
sedimentary rock which is
formed by angular fragments
the size of pebbles or larger.
Breccia
In what kind of environment do
rock salt, rock gypsum, and
dolostone form?
In a marine (ocean)
environment
Name a sedimentary rock,
formed from organic material,
which would bubble if placed
in acid.
Limestone
In order for metamorphic rock
to form, the parent rock must
be subjected to.....
Heat and/or Pressure
Metamorphic rocks may
sometimes weather by peeling
in layers. This property is
called
Foliation
Name a fine to medium
grained, foliated metamorphic
rock which contains mica,
amphibole, and pyroxene.
Schist
Which metamorphic rock
shows banding?
Gneiss
What kind of rock is produced
by the regional metamorphism
of dolostone?
Marble
What kind of rock is produced
if quartz sandstone is subjected
to long periods of heat and/or
pressure?
Quartzite
What kind of rock is produced
when an igneous rock is melted
and then cools and solidifies?
Igneous
Name a rock that may be
produced when a sea
evaporates.
Rock salt, Rock gypsum,
or Dolostone
Starting at the top,
what kinds of rocks
are represented by
the diagram?
Sandstone, Shale, and
Limestone
What property
of a rock is
illustrated by
the diagram?
Cleavage
This mineral is light
green and contains iron
and magnesium.
Olivine
