Concept Review
1. Explain the difference between lava and magma.
2. The following is a list of naturally-occurring substances. Which three are NOT minerals?
Explain why your choices cannot be classified as minerals.
gold, coal, copper, ice, pearls, diamond, oil, quartz
3. Diamonds, the hardest naturally-occurring substance, and graphite, a very soft substance, are
both made almost 100% of the same element, carbon. How is this apparent contradiction
possible?
4. List the different types of volcanoes. Explain the difference between each and give an example of
each.
5. What kind of evidence do you see in the world around you that urban sprawl exists? Do you
feel that this an important issue? Why or why not?
