Chapter 3 & 5 Quizizz

During a geology class, Aiden asked which type of rocks and minerals are more likely to be hazardous?

• those with high cleavage

• minerals with fibrous structures like amphibole and asbestos

• minerals high in specific gravity

• rocks with a metallic luster

Priya is learning about minerals in her science class. Her teacher asks, 'Which mineral property is best described by the scale that ranks hardness from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest)?'

• luster

• fracture

• streak

• Mohs' scale

During a science class, Evelyn learned about minerals. Which of the following minerals is considered hazardous due to its potential carcinogenic properties?

• calcite

• quartz

• asbestos

• amphibole

Grace is studying minerals in her geology class. She learns that some minerals, like asbestos, are hazardous to human health. Which property makes them hazardous?

• cleavage

• carcinogenic

• native element

• silicate tetrahedron

Samuel is studying a rock formation and notices a fault cutting through several layers. According to the principle of cross-cutting relationships, he concludes that:

• the oldest rocks are on the bottom, and the youngest are on top

• the present is the key to understanding the past

• a fault or intrusion is younger than the rock it cuts through

• fossils succeed one another in a definite order

• the time period before the Phanerozoic eon

• a key bed used for dating rock layers

• a mass extinction event

During a geology class, Kai asked, 'The divisions of geologic time smaller than eras but larger than epochs are called:'

• eons

• periods

• key beds

• nonconformities

Sophia and Mason are studying Earth's history and learn that mass extinctions are significant events because they:

• represent the largest earthquakes in geologic history

• cause widespread loss of biodiversity in a short period of time

• indicate the end of an era

• are evidence of a nonconformity in the rock record

Rohan and Kai are studying geology and come across a key bed. Why is it useful for them?

• provides a precise absolute age for rock layers

• is a layer of rock that serves as a marker horizon for correlation

• represents a nonconformity in the rock record

• separates two distinct eons

Emma and Mason are discussing isotopes. Emma says isotopes are different forms of the same element that have:

• the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons

• different chemical properties

• different numbers of protons and electrons

• identical atomic structures
