What is the name of the
naturally occurring solid
substances found in rocks?
What is a mineral?
We use these clues to identify
unknown minerals
What are lustre, colour, streak,
cleavage, hardness and fracture?
This mineral is rated as the
hardest by Moh’s hardness
scale
What is Diamond?
This happens when a mineral
or rock break into fragments
or rough uneven surfaces
What is a fracture?
When identifying how a
mineral shines under light we
call this:
What is Lustre?
What are the Three Rock Families?
What is Igneous, Sedimentary and
Metamorphic.
This is the name of the molten
rock found deep below the
earth’s crust?
What is magma?
These are the loose materials such
as bits of rock, minerals and plant
and animal remains.
What is Sediment?
This black rock is an example of
extrusive rock that forms when lava
rapidly cools. It was used for
arrowheads and is volcanic glass.
What is Obsidian?
What is the parent rock of a
metamorphic rock?
What is Sedimentary and/or Igneous ?
This type of rock is formed from tremendous
heat and pressure within the earth.
What is Metamorphic Rock?
This is the opening in the earth
that marks the origin of a
volcano.
What is a VENT?
This is the molten rock that
flows down the side of a
volcano.
What is LAVA?
This is the type of fault that
moves opposite directions
along its side.
What is a Transverse Fault?
These layers of the Earth are
Solid.
What is the Earth’s Crust and Inner
Core? (Core)
Diagrams such as the one
below are part of what
branch of geology?
What is Stratigraphy?
This type of fossil would best
represent an ancient man
trapped in ice .
What is Original remains?
This type of fossil is formed
when water dissolves the
calcium carbonate in bones
and replaces it with silica?
What is Petrified?
This type of fault is generated
when two plates move away
from one another?
What is a divergent fault?
How old are mountains if they
have pointy tops like those
found along the Wasatch
Front?
What are young mountains?
Geologist use this principle to
infer the relative ages of
different layers of rock
What is Superposition?
These are the two most
common forms of weathering
and erosion of rocks.
Wind and Water
This is the force that pulls rocks
down and is key in compaction
What is Gravity?
These are rocks that are
completely melted by the
inner heat of the Earth
What is Igneous?
This is the dropping off of
sediments
What is Deposition?
This is the powdery mark left by some
minerals when they are scraped
against a hard porcelain plate.
What is streak?
This layer of the earth has the
highest temperature
What is the inner core?
This man is responsible for
the Theory of Pangaea
Who is Alfred Wegener?
This happens when 2 plates
collide or converge and one is
shoved underneath the other
one.
What is Subduction Zone?
These volcanoes around the Pacific
Ocean make up this.
What the Ring of Fire?
