A natural, inorganic, solid that has a characteristic chemical composition, an orderly internal structure and a characteristic set of physical properties is called THIS.

Mineral (easy one)

Many minerals like quartz and orthoclase have two of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust in them. These are the TWO MOST ABUNDANT MINERALS in the Earth’s crust.

Oxygen and Silicon

The tendency of a mineral to split along planes where bonds are weakest is called THIS

Cleavage

The color of the mineral in powdered form is called THIS

Streak

The size of the crystals in the rock refers to this property

Texture

Mafic rocks are usually this type of color

Dark (rich in iron and magnesium and lower silica content than intermediate or felsic rocks)

Igneous rocks are formed from _____ cooling.

Magma (melted rock)

When magma cools quickly, the crystals size does this….

Crystal size decreases

When classifying igneous rocks, THESE two factors are considered.

Composition of magma and location of formation (intrusive or extrusive)

Granite often contains these two minerals

Feldspar and quartz

The process that involves weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation is called THIS

Lithification

What would we likely infer about a sedimentary rock with very small and rounded grains?

The source of sediment was far from where the rock was formed

These are the four main agents that move sediments.

Wind, water, ice, gravity

Calcium would likely make up a ____ sedimentary environment.

Marine Marine organisms with a calcium carbonate shell die and their shell eventually becomes limestone.

THIS TYPE OF sedimentary rock is classified by the size and shape of sediments they contain.
