Which Mineral test is being performed in the image
streak
luster
conductivity
color
Minerals contain__ material(s) and rocks contain __ material(s)
one; 2 or more
two; one
three; three
one; one
How would a scientist perform a streak test?
place the mineral near metal shavings to see if they are attracted to each other
hold the mineral up to the light to see if it is reflective
rub a mineral across a tile plate to see the mineral in a powder form
drop a small amount of acid on the mineral to see if it reacts
Give a possible explanation for fish fossil being found in this location.
the fish fossil is the oldest fossil
the fish was left there by another animal
the fish was buried by its owner
the land was once under water
Michael finds a rock with very large crystals. What type of rock did he find and why are the crystals large?
metamorphic; cooled slowly
igneous; cooled slowly
metamorphic; cooled quickly
igneous; cooled quickly
In order for a metamorphic rock to change into a sedimentary a rock, it must undergo...
weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction or cementation
melting, cooling and hardening
heat and pressure
melting
Which statement is true?
A rock is made up of one mineral and minerals are made up of one rock
A rock can be made up of minerals but a mineral cannot be made of rocks
A rock has one shape while minerals has many shapes.
A mineral always has the same shape and rocks has many shapes
If two different fossils are found in the same cliff layer, what does that tell you?
The organism evolved from each other
The organisms are the same species
The organisms are all animals
The organisms lived during the same time period
What process is occurring at position J?

A diamond has a hardness of 10 on Moh's scale. What would happen if another mineral rubbed against a diamond?
The diamond would scratch the other mineral
The other mineral would scratch the diamond
Both minerals will scratch each other
The minerals will not scratch each other
Sandstone is created by the weathering, erosion, deposition and cementation of sand and granite. What type of rock is sandstone?
igneous
sedimentary
metamorphic
inorganic
What is occurring in the diagram?
the compacting of layers from high heat and pressure to make metamorphic rock
the cementing of layers of sediment particles to make sedimentary rock
the melting of sediment particles into an igneous rock
the hardening of liquid magma which leads to igneous rock

Which statement is true about the object in the picture?
It is a rock because it has fossils.
It is a mineral because it has a pattern.
It is a rock because it has a light color.
It is a mineral because it has a rough texture.
Two minerals are the same hardness, color and luster. What other test can we perform to identify the mineral?
Drop it to see how quickly it breaks
Hold it under a light to see if its reflective
Rub it across a piece of tile to see what color powder streak it will leave
Rub the minerals together to see if they scratch each other.
Which is not a way to identify or classify a mineral?
luster
hardness
shape
streak
Based on the image, what is the easiest way to identify a sedimentary rock?
The layers formed as magma solidified
The layers were formed through minerals compaction
The layers were formed extreme pressure
The layers were formed by extreme heat
