Topic 11 Quiz Part 2

Fracture

• the way in which a mineral breaks producing an uneven breaking surface; types earthy, splintery, and curved

• the resistance a mineral offers to being scratched or dented

• a rock formed when natural, molten rock-forming material (magma or lava) cools and turns into a solid above, below, or on the Earth's surface

• not organic, thus not part of life form or made by living or former life forms

Igneous Rock

• the way in which a mineral breaks producing an uneven breaking surface; types earthy, splintery, and curved

• the resistance a mineral offers to being scratched or dented

• a rock formed when natural, molten rock-forming material (magma or lava) cools and turns into a solid above, below, or on the Earth's surface

• not organic, thus not part of life form or made by living or former life forms

Hardness

• the way in which a mineral breaks producing an uneven breaking surface; types earthy, splintery, and curved

• the resistance a mineral offers to being scratched or dented

• a rock formed when natural, molten rock-forming material (magma or lava) cools and turns into a solid above, below, or on the Earth's surface

• not organic, thus not part of life form or made by living or former life forms

Inorganic

• the way in which a mineral breaks producing an uneven breaking surface; types earthy, splintery, and curved

• the resistance a mineral offers to being scratched or dented

• a rock formed when natural, molten rock-forming material (magma or lava) cools and turns into a solid above, below, or on the Earth's surface

• not organic, thus not part of life form or made by living or former life forms

Intrusive Igneous Rock

• a rock that forms by the cooling and solidification of magma beneath Earth's solid surface

• the way a mineral looks or shines in reflected light

• liquid rock material beneath Earth's solid surface.

• a rock that forms from changes in previously existing rock due to heat, pressure, and or chemical fluids

Luster

• a rock that forms by the cooling and solidification of magma beneath Earth's solid surface

• the way a mineral looks or shines in reflected light

• liquid rock material beneath Earth's solid surface.

• a rock that forms from changes in previously existing rock due to heat, pressure, and or chemical fluids

Magma

• a rock that forms by the cooling and solidification of magma beneath Earth's solid surface

• the way a mineral looks or shines in reflected light

• liquid rock material beneath Earth's solid surface.

• a rock that forms from changes in previously existing rock due to heat, pressure, and or chemical fluids

Metamorphic Rock

• a rock that forms by the cooling and solidification of magma beneath Earth's solid surface

• the way a mineral looks or shines in reflected light

• liquid rock material beneath Earth's solid surface.

• a rock that forms from changes in previously existing rock due to heat, pressure, and or chemical fluids

Metamorphism

• the process by which heat, pressure and/or exposure to chemical fluids can change previously existing rock into metamorphic rocks

• a naturally occurring, crystalline solid having a somewhat definite chemical composition and physical and chemical properties that vary within specified limits

• liquid rock material beneath Earth's solid surface.

• a rock that forms from changes in previously existing rock due to heat, pressure, and or chemical fluids

Mineral
