1. Review Game

2. Give the FULL definition of a mineral

3. Solid, naturally occurring, inorganic, and has a crystal structure and definite chemical composition

4. What does it mean when I say a mineral has a definite chemical composition?

5. A set amount of each chemical -ratio of each chemical

6. What is crystallization?

7. The process by which atoms form a solid with an orderly, repeating pattern

8. How does crystallization from water occur?

9. When water cools, the particles of the dissolved substances come together again in the solution and crystallize

10. Give 4 ways you can test to see if a mineral is gold? At least one should be an unusual property of gold.

11. - crystalization from water -Density -Hardness -Color/streak -Luster -Cleavage/Fracture -Crystal Shape

12. What is cleavage in minerals?

13. If a mineral breaks along smooth, flat surfaces, it has cleavage

14. What is Fracture in minerals?

15. A mineral that breaks along rough or irregular surfaces displays fracture

16. What is an ore and why do I wish I had some?

17. Deposits of metallic or nonmetallic minerals that can be produced at a profit (any mineral that has value for us)

18. What is a rock?

19. Naturally occurring solid mixture composed of minerals, smaller rock fragments, organic matter, or glass

20. What is a grain and where can they be found?

21. The individual particles in rocks

22. What are the 3 classifications of rocks?

23. Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic

24. How are igneous rocks formed?

25. Molten rock inside the earth erupts and cools. Minerals crystallize and form the grains of new igneous rock

26. What is texture?

27. The grain size and how the grains are arranged

28. What is the difference between lava and magma?

29. Magma is molten rock inside the earth and lava is after it erupts onto Earth’s surface

30. Geologists describe the texture of igneous rocks with large crystals as ____________

31. Coarse-grained

32. What is sediment and how is it involved in the process of creating sedimentary rock?

33. Rock and mineral fragments that are loose or suspended in water -sedimentary rock is created when these sediments are compacted together

34. What is sediment and how is it involved in the process of creating sedimentary rock?
