C 1 $100 Minerals are the building blocks of all ____.

C 1? $100 Rocks

C 1 $200 If a mineral is described as waxy, what property is being described?

C 1 $200 Luster

C 1 $300 The color of the powder left behind when you rub a mineral against a rough white or black tile, is called what?

C 1 $300 Streak

C 1 $400 A mineral is white and cannot be scratched by the mineral orthoclase (hardness of 6). Identify the mineral and tell how you know.

C 1 $400 The mineral is Quartz. Because it has a hardness of 7, it cannot be scratched by Orthoclase.

C 1 final Final Jeopardy Identify this rock. Where and how was it formed? Timer

C 1 final This is a sedimentary rock because it has layers that were formed as a result of pressure that cemented them together. This rock was probably formed somewhere there was great pressure.

C 2 $100 How do sedimentary rocks form?

C 2 $100 When sediments are pressed together and become cemented.

C 2 $200 What is the process by which sediment settles out of water and wind called?

C 2 $200 Deposition

C 2 $300 Where would you most likely find the sedimentary rock Conglomerate?

C 2 $300 In a river

C 2 $400 What is an example of a sedimentary rock?

C 2 $400 Sandstone, conglomerate, limestone, gypson, shale

C 2 $500 Which process will change a sedimentary rock into another sedimentary rock?

C 2 $500 Weathering

C 3 $100 How are metamorphic rocks formed?

C 3 $100 Metamorphic rocks are formed when high heat and great pressure change the existing rock.

C 3 $200 The word ‘morph’ literally means what?

C 3 $200 Change

C 3 $300 Where on Earth is there enough pressure and heat to change rocks into metamorphic rocks?

C 3 $300 In mountain ranges, underneath many layers of other rocks.

C 3 $400 What is an example of a metamorphic rock?

C 3 $400 Gneiss, Schist, Slate, Marble, Quartzite

C 3 $500 Which process can change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?

C 3 $500 Heat and/or pressure
