Minerals are always solids. True or False A 100

True A 100

Rock-forming minerals contain elements that are common in Earth's A 200

crust A 200

The color of a mineral when it is ground into a powder is its A 300

streak A 300

How do you to tell which of two minerals is harder? A 400

The harder mineral will scratch the softer one A 400

When you say a mineral is "metallic," you are talking about its A 500

luster A 500

If a mineral has perfect cleavage, it B 100

breaks along smooth surfaces B 100

Minerals are grouped according to their B 200

composition B 200

Quartz, feldspar, and mica are all common B 300

silicates B 300

All minerals are B 400

solids B 400

To identify a mineral, scientists may scratch a mineral against a surface. The color of the powder left behind is the mineral's B 500

streak B 500

The two major types of mineral luster are C 100

metallic and nonmetallic C 100

A quartz sample breaks into many irregular pieces. This is an example of C 200

fracture C 200

Determining the manner in which a mineral breaks is helpful when C 300

identifying the mineral C 300

The type of mining used when ore is removed from an open pit is called C 400

surface mining C 400

Although there are thousands of minerals on Earth, the number of minerals commonly found in Earth's crust is about C 500

30 C 500

What determines whether a mineral displays fracture or cleavage? D 100

the strengths of the bonds between its atoms D 100

Strip mining and panning are both examples of D 200

surface mining D 200

An ore contains enough of a mineral that it D 300

can be mined for profit D 300

A metamorphic rock melts. This molten rock then cools and becomes solid. These processes are part of the D 400

rock cycle D 400

The most common type of rock at Earth's surface is D 500

sedimentary D 500

The magma inside a volcano slowly cooled into rock. Over time, wind and water wore away the weaker rock surrounding it. The landform left at Earth's surface is made of E 100

intrusive igneous rock E 100

Coal is made from the remains of E 200

plants E 200

An example of how sedimentary rock can give information about past conditions is through E 300

preserved mud cracks E 300

The arrangement of minerals into wavy or parallel bands of minerals during metamorphism is called E 400

foliation E 400

Rocks are always E 500

solids E 500

Igneous and metamorphic rocks make up how much of Earth's crust? F 100

almost all

F 200 The rock cycle.

F 200 has no beginning or end

F 300 Igneous rocks tend to form long-lasting landforms because they often

F 300 are harder than other types of rock

F 400 An example of a process that causes metamorphic change over large areas is the

F 400 formation of a mountain range

F 500 Why do landforms made of igneous rock tend to last longer than those made of sedimentary rock?

F 500 Igneous rock tends to be harder than sedimentary rock.
