The resistance to scratching that a mineral exhibits is identified using

• There is no way to determine it

• The temperature/minerals compound scale

• Throwing a rock on the ground and seeing how it breaks

• The Mohs hardness rock scale

When rocks are weathered, what is created

• wind

• sediment

• new rock

• magma

What represents the formation and recycling of rocks by geologic process?

• the rock cycle

• Earth's interior

• Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock

• the Mohs hardness rock scale

NGSS.MS-ESS2-1

Heat and pressure are applied to a sedimentary rock, enough so that it begins to melt and recrystallize into a new rock. This new rock is called what?

• Magma

• New sedimentary rock

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

A surface along which a mineral cleanly splits is a(n)

• intrusive rock

• clevage plane

• igenous rock

• convergent rock boundary

What is a naturally formed solid composed of one or more minerals?

• A rock

• glass

• A clevage plane

• A compound mineral

A volcano erupts and the lava pours out of the vent, cooling as it is exposed to the air. When hardened, what type of rock will this be?

• Extrusive Rock

• Intrusive rock

• Igneous rock

• Both Extrusive Rock and Igneous rock

What is a rock made of layers of sediment called?

• Compaction

• Sedimentary rock

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

What about the appearance of an igneous rock tells you if it cooled slowly or quickly(also, subsequently, if it is an intrusive or extrusive rock)

• How large/small its crystals are

• How many layers of sediment it has

• How dark in color the rock is

• How it breaks when you smash it on the ground
