Order of Earth Formation first 5 events Solar nebular, accretion, bombardment, iron catastrophe & radioactive elements Solar nebula, accretion, bombardment, radioactive elements & iron catastrophe Solar nebula, bombardment, accretion, iron catastrophe & radioactive elements

Order of Earth formation, last 5 events Crust forms/ surface water, magnetic field forms, planetesimal hits earth, volcanoes form, moon moves away. Magnetic field forms, volcanoes form, planetesimal hits earth, moon moves away & crust forms /surface water Magnetic field forms, planetesimal hits earth, volcanoes form, moon moves away, crust forms/surface water

Minerals – T or F Man-made Organic Can be solid or liquid Definite crystal structure Definite chemical composition

The greatest percentage class of minerals in the crust is Oxides Carbonates Silicates

Rock formed from magma Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary

Rock formed from the layering and cementing of sediments over time Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary

Any rock type that undergoes great pressure and heat Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary
