What determines the physical properties of a mineral? The internal arrangement of atoms
This term describes the way non-crystalline minerals break. Fracture
What kind of minerals bubble when they contact acid? Carbonates
The tendency of some minerals to break along straight lines forming flat surfaces is called Cleavage
Silicon-Oxygen Tetrahedron. Forms SILICATES Identify the structure shown in the diagram AND tell what class of minerals it forms.
Name a fine grained igneous rock containing amphibole, plagioclase, and pyroxine. Basalt
A non-vesicular igneous rock with glassy texture and which contains potassium feldspar is Obsidian

DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE
This igneous rock is light colored, and has grain that are 10mm or larger. Pegmatite
The size of the crystals found in an igneous rock is determined by its Rate of cooling
How are land-derived sedimentary rocks classified? By particle (grain) size
What three processes must occur in order for loose sediment to be made into sedimentary rock? Burial – Compaction & Cementation
Name the land-derived sedimentary rock which is formed by angular fragments the size of pebbles or larger. Breccia
In what kind of environment do rock salt, rock gypsum, and dolostone form? In a marine (ocean) environment
Name a sedimentary rock, formed from organic material, which would bubble if placed in acid. Limestone
In order for metamorphic rock to form, the parent rock must be subjected to..... Heat and/or Pressure
Metamorphic rocks may sometimes weather by peeling in layers. This property is called Foliation
Name a fine to medium grained, foliated metamorphic rock which contains mica, amphibole, and pyroxene. Schist
Which metamorphic rock shows banding? Gneiss
What kind of rock is produced by the regional metamorphism of dolostone? Marble
What kind of rock is produced if quartz sandstone is subjected to long periods of heat and/or pressure? Quartzite
What kind of rock is produced when an igneous rock is melted and then cools and solidifies? Igneous
Name a rock that may be produced when a sea evaporates. Rock salt, Rock gypsum, or Dolostone
Starting at the top, what kinds of rocks are represented by the diagram? Sandstone, Shale, and Limestone
What property of a rock is illustrated by the diagram? Cleavage
