1 - $100 What is the difference between cleavage and fracture? Cleavage – splits easily along flat surfaces. Fracture – breaks apart in an irregular way.

1 - $200 What is the difference in crystallization when it is cooled slowly and quickly? Slow cooling results in larger crystals while fast cooling results in smaller crystals.

1 - $300 What are three ways that crystallization can occur to form crystals? Organic Processes Evaporation of solutions Cooling of magma/lava

1 - $400 List 4 of the many special properties that can be used to identify minerals. Bends light Conducts electricity Glow under ultraviolet light Magnetic

1 - $500 List the 5 characteristics a substance must have in order to be classified as a mineral? Naturally occurring, Solid, Crystal Structure, Forms by Inorganic Processes, and has a definite chemical composition.

2 - $100 What is sedimentary rock formed from – vocabulary term and definition? Sedimentary rocks form from a buildup of sediment, which are small solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things.

Daily Double!!! - $200 What is the difference between weathering and erosion? Weathering refers to forces that break the rocks while erosion refers to the forces that carry away the broken pieces.

2 - $300 What are the three major groups of sedimentary rocks? Clastic, Organic, and chemical.

2 - $400 Provide two examples of organic rocks. Coal Limestone

2 - $500 List the 5 sequence of processes that most sedimentary rocks are formed from. Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.

3 - $100 What are igneous rocks formed from? Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of magma/lava.

3 - $200 What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks? Intrusive – magma hardened beneath the surface of the Earth. Extrusive – magma hardened above the earth’s surface.

3 - $300 What are three characteristics used to classify igneous rocks? Origin Texture Composition

3 - $400 List and describe the three types of textures that are used to describe igneous rocks. Coarse grained – large crystals Fine grained – small crystals No grain/glassy – no crystals

3 - $500 Granite’s color is dependent on the amount of each type of mineral in the rock. What are 4 minerals that make up granite? Feldspar Hornblende Quartz Mica

4 - $100 What can metamorphic rocks be formed from? Metamorphic rock can be formed from any type of rock including itself.

Daily Double!!! - $200 How do geologists classify metamorphic rocks? According to the arrangement of the grains making up the rocks.

4 - $300 What are three ways or combinations in which metamorphic rock can be formed? Heat, pressure, or both.

4 - $400 What are the two classifications of metamorphic rocks? Provide the term and definition for each. Foliated – thin, flat layering. Nonfoliated – randomly arranged grains.

4 - $500 What metamorphic rocks are formed from shale and granite? Shale becomes slate and granite becomes gneiss.

5 - $100 The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with what? Melting

5 - $200 What can turn igneous rock into sediment? Weathering

5 - $300 What type of rock might you find along mid-ocean ridges or volcanoes? Igneous Rocks

5 - $400 What type of force could produce the anticlines and synclines seen in some metamorphic rocks? Pressure from converging plates.

5 - $500 What type of rocks might we find along areas where streams and rivers open towards a large body of river? Sedimentary Rocks
