1 Words such as compaction, cementation, fossils, evaporites and precipitates are associated with which types of rocks?

2 These five characteristics can be used to describe what? 1. Naturally Occurring 2. Inorganic 3. Solid 4. Definite Chemical Composition 5. Regular Internal Arrangement of Atoms

3 A human fingernail has a hardness of 2.5. Would a human fingernail be able to scratch the mineral topaz?

4 Where are extrusive igneous rocks formed?

5 Words such as heat and pressure, re-crystallization, banding and folding are associated with which types of rocks?

6 When a piece of shale is exposed to extreme heat and pressure but does not melt, what type of rock forms? Give the name of a rock.

7 There are 6 ways to identify a mineral based on its physical properties. Name 3 of them.

8 Which are best ways to identify a mineral (based on the question above)?

9 Name that Rock!! -clastic fragments -made of mostly quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals -fine to coarse grained -contains fossils

10 How are rocks classified?

11 Words such as felsic/mafic, vesicular, solidification, intergrown crystals, extrusive/intrusive and volcanic are associated with which types of rocks?

12 Why are intrusive igneous rocks coarse grained?

13 What is the largest size particles that a stream flowing at 50 cm/sec can carry?

14 Name that Rock! -Nonfoliated -Coarse grained -Composed of quartz

15 There are three classifications of rocks… Igneous -Sedimentary -Metamorphic -Igneous -Sedimentary -Metamorphic For each rocks type, explain how they are formed.
