1 - $100 n What is the difference between cleavage and fracture? Cleavage – splits easily along flat surfaces. n Fracture – breaks apart in an irregular way. n

1 - $200 n What is the difference in crystallization when it is cooled slowly and quickly? n Slow cooling results in larger crystals while fast cooling results in smaller crystals.

1 - $300 n What are three ways that crystallization can occur to form crystals? Organic Processes n Evaporation of solutions n Cooling of magma/lava n

1 - $400 n List 4 of the many special properties that can be used to identify minerals. n Bends light Conducts electricity Glow under ultraviolet light Magnetic n n n

1 - $500 n List the 5 characteristics a substance must have in order to be classified as a mineral? n Naturally occurring, Solid, Crystal Structure, Forms by Inorganic Processes, and has a definite chemical composition.

2 - $100 n What is sedimentary rock formed from – vocabulary term and definition? n Sedimentary rocks form from a buildup of sediment, which are small solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things.

Daily Double!!! - $200 n What is the difference between weathering and erosion? n Weathering refers to forces that break the rocks while erosion refers to the forces that carry away the broken pieces.

2 - $300 n What are three major groups of sedimentary rocks? n Clastic, Organic, and chemical.

2 - $400 n Provide two examples of organic rocks. Coal n Limestone n

2 - $500 n List the 5 sequence of processes that most sedimentary rocks are formed from. n Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.

3 - $100 n What are igneous rocks formed from? n Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of magma/lava.

3 - $200 n What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks? Intrusive – magma hardened beneath the surface of the Earth. n Extrusive – magma hardened above the earth’s surface. n

3 - $300 n What are three characteristics used to classify igneous rocks? Origin n Texture n Composition n

3 - $400 n List and describe three types of textures that are used to describe igneous rocks. Coarse grained – large crystals n Fine grained – small crystals n No grain/glassy – no crystals n

3 - $500 n Granite’s color is dependent on the amount of each type of mineral in the rock. What are 4 minerals that make up granite? n Feldspar Hornblende Quartz Mica n n n

4 - $100 n What can metamorphic rocks be formed from? n Metamorphic rock can be formed from any type of rock including itself.

Daily Double!!! - $200 n How do geologists classify metamorphic rocks? n According to the arrangement of the grains making up the rocks.

4 - $300 n What are three ways or combinations in which metamorphic rock can be formed? n Heat, pressure, or both.

4 - $400 n What are the two classifications of metamorphic rocks? Provide the term and definition for each. Foliated – thin, flat layering. n Nonfoliated – randomly arranged grains. n

4 - $500 n What metamorphic rocks are formed from shale and granite? n Shale becomes slate and granite becomes gneiss.

5 - $100 n The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with what? n Melting
