2 The three main metals mined at Voisey’s Bay are cobalt, nickel and this.

3 What is Copper?

4 The three main metals mined at Voisey’s Bay are nickel, copper and this.

5 What is Cobalt?

6 The three main metals mined at Voisey’s Bay are copper, cobalt and this.

7 What is Nickel ?

8 This rock is the ore of aluminum.

9 What is Bauxite ?

10 This rock tastes salty and has cubic cleavage.

11 What is Halite ?

12 A geological structure that allows for significant amounts of oil and gas to accumulate.

13 What is a Petroleum Trap ?

14 This is the porous, permeable portion of an oil trap that yields oil and gas.

15 What is a Reservoir Rock ?

16 A place in Labrador that has a mine for copper, nickel and cobalt.

17 What is Voisey’s Bay?

18 A useful metallic mineral that can be mined at a profit.

19 What is an Ore?

20 Non-metallic minerals used as building stone, aggregates, abrasives, ceramics and fertilizers, they are not called ores.

21 What are Industrial Minerals?

22 A boundary in which two plates move apart.

23 What are Divergent Plate Boundaries?

24 A boundary in which two plates move together.

25 What are Convergent Plate Boundaries?

26 A type of convergence in which two slabs of ocean crust move together.

27 What is Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence?

28 A type of convergence in which a slab of ocean crust and continental crust move together.

29 What is Oceanic-Continental Convergence?

30 A type of convergence in which two slabs of continental crust collide with each other.

31 What is Continental- Continental Convergence?

32 A German meteorologist and geophysicist who set forth the basic outline for his hypothesis of continental drift.

33 Who is Alfred Wegener?

34 This person wrote the book Physical Geology, he suggested that convection currents were responsible for moving the continents.

35 Who is Arthur Holmes?

36 The guy that first proposed seafloor spreading in the 1960’s.

37 Who is Harry Hess?

38 A hypothesis, credited to Alfred Wegener, that suggests that all present continents once existed as a single supercontinent and have ‘drifted’ to their current positions.

39 What is the Continental Drift hypothesis?

40 The hypothesis first proposed in the 1960’s by Harry Hess that suggests that new oceanic crust is produced at the crests of mid-ocean ridges.

41 What is Seafloor Spreading ?

42 A mineral deposit filling a fracture or fault in a host rock, created by hydrothermal fluid. Ex: Gold, mercury.

43 What is a Vein Deposit?

44 A deposit formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents, most commonly streams. Ex: Gold.

45 What is a Placer Deposit?

46 A process by which the concentration of minor amounts of metals are scattered through unweathered rock into economically valuable concentrations by water moving through soil. Ex: Bauxite.

47 What is Secondary Enrichment?

48 A sedimentary rock formed of material deposited from solution by the evaporation of water.

49 What are Evaporites?

50 The hot, watery solution that escapes from a mass of magma during the latter part of crystallization. Forms vein deposits.

51 What are Hydrothermal Solutions?
