Opening quiz for unit 2 Get out you ESRT and a piece of paper The following questions are from your ESRT. You’ll have a minute per question…
2
Question 1 On page 16 of your ESRT what are the two main types of Luster?
3
Question 2 I am a mineral that in nonmetallic, has a hardness of around 3 and my chemical formula is CaCO 3.
4
Question 3 On page 6 of your ESRT What two types of environments of igneous rocks are there.
5
Question 4 Looking at page 7 in your ESRT what is the grainsize of Sandstone?
6
Answers 1. what are the two main types of Luster? 1.Nonmetallic and metallic 2. nonmetallic, has a hardness of around 3 and my chemical formula is CaCO 3 1.Calcite 3. What two types of environments of igneous rocks 1.Intrusive and extrusive 4. what is the grain size of Sandstone 1.0.2-0.006cm
7
Rocks & Minerals The Building Blocks of society
8
Minerals Lesson 1 Jewelry, computers, walls, and more
9
Minerals Lesson 1 What is a mineral? How are Minerals different from rocks? How are minerals formed? How are minerals identified?
10
What is a mineral? Object that’s: 1. formed naturally 2. Solid 3. internal arrangement of atoms 4. inorganic
11
Minerals There are 1000’s of minerals out there but only a few dozen common ones.
12
How are minerals different from rocks? Atoms form minerals Minerals form rocks Organized Internal Arrangement Of atoms IAOA
13
Crystals Structure Tetrahedron
14
How are minerals formed? Minerals from solution Cooling of magma Heat and Pressure
15
How are minerals formed? Precipitation from solution
16
How are minerals formed? Evaporation from solution
17
How are minerals formed? Cooling of magma
18
How are Minerals identified? physical properties: color, hardness, cleavage, fracture, streak, and luster chemical properties: reaction to acid
19
Mineral properties Color Luster Texture Streak Hardness Cleavage / Fracture Density Other
20
How are Minerals identified? Color not a good identifier. Some minerals have different colors Different minerals can have the same color
21
How are Minerals identified? Luster how the mineral reflects light. –Metallic –Nonmetallic
22
How are Minerals identified? streak color of a mineral in its powdered form
23
How are Minerals identified? Hardness is based on the internal arrangement of atoms Strong bonds mean hard minerals Diamond = 10 Talc = 1
24
How are Minerals identified? Cleavage flat, smooth, shiny, surfaces occur along weak atomic bonds How it breaks (in shapes)
25
How are Minerals identified? fracture uneven, rough surfaces Breaks randomly
26
How are Minerals identified? Reaction to acid chemical reaction to acid confirms calcite Feel Soapy, greasy, etc. Magnetism magnetic properties Reacts to Ultraviolet light
27
Some minerals that glow?
29
Let’s make some minerals We will melt down some bismuth into lava. Then I will cool it down slowly. Last I will drain away any extra lava
