$100 Question from Minerals
Minerals are the building blocks of this substance.
$100 Answer from Minerals
Rocks!
Rocks are made up of different kinds of minerals.
$200 Question from Minerals
This property describes how resistant a mineral is to being scratched.
$200 Answer from Minerals
Hardness!
$300 Question from Minerals
This property of minerals describes how a mineral will split into smaller pieces.
$300 Answer from Minerals
Cleavage
$400 Question from Minerals
Minerals are formed when ________
$400 Answer from Minerals
When magma from the Earth’s mantle cools or when a saturated solution Evaporates leaving behind crystals.
$500 Question from Minerals
If two mineral samples are the same type of mineral, but have differentcrystal sizes, what could this tell us?
$500 Answer from Minerals
One sample cooled slower than the otherand so, had more time to grow.
$100 Question from Rocks
There are this many types of rocks.
$100 Answer from Rocks
3
$200 Question from Rocks
These are the three types of rocks
$200 Answer from Rocks
SedimentaryIgneousMetamorphic
$300 Question from Rocks
This is how igneous rocks are formed.
$300 Answer from Rocks
Igneous rocks form when magmafrom the Earth’s crust cools and hardens to create rock.
$400 Question from Rocks
These are the two type of igneous rocks.
$400 Answer from Rocks
IntrusiveExtrusive
$500 Question from Rocks
This type of rock forms when layers of sediment pile up and are pushed together by pressure and harden to create rock.
$500 Answer from Rocks
Sedimentary Rock
$100 Question from The Rock Cycle
What is the rock cycle?
$100 Answer from The Rock Cycle
The rock cycle is the ability of rocksto change from its type to the other two when conditions are favorable.
$200 Question from The Rock Cycle
What type(s) of rocks can a sedimentary rock become?
$200 Answer from The Rock Cycle
IgneousMetamorphic
$300 Question from The Rock Cycle
If I have an igneous rock and it is weathered and eroded, what kind of rock may this become?
$300 Answer from The Rock Cycle
Sedimentary
$400 Question from The Rock Cycle
How do metamorphic and sedimentary rocks become igneous rocks?
$400 Answer from The Rock Cycle
They melt and become magma. The magma then will cool and harden to form rock.
$500 Question from The Rock Cycle
If I start with a sedimentary rock, what steps would I have to go through to first make an igneous rock and thena metamorphic rock?
$500 Answer from The Rock Cycle
Step 1: The sedimentary rock must be melted and form magma. Then this magma must cool and harden to create an igneous rock.
Step 2: The new igneous rock must be subjected to high amounts of heat and pressure which will change the minerals in the rock which changes the type of rock.
$100 Question from Weathering
What is weathering?
$100 Answer from Weathering
Weathering is the process of breakingdown rocks into smaller pieces.
$200 Question from Weathering
Potholes are an excellent example ofthis kind of weathering.
$200 Answer from Weathering
Mechanical Weathering
$300 Question from Weathering
Biological weathering is due to …
$300 Answer from Weathering
Living things. Such as plants, trees, etc.
$400 Question from Weathering
An example of chemical weathering is…
$400 Answer from Weathering
Acid rain
or
Water can dissolve some minerals in rocks that will weaken the rock.
$500 Question from Weathering
Weathering can form this kind of rock.
$500 Answer from Weathering
Sedimentary
$100 Question from Erosion
What is erosion?
$100 Answer from Erosion
The transportation of weathered material.
$200 Question from Erosion
How can erosion occur by water?
$200 Answer from Erosion
Water currents and waves are strong and able to push materials around. Particles are carried through the water.
$300 Question from Erosion
Glaciers are an example of thiskind of erosion.
$300 Answer from Erosion
Erosion by ice.
$400 Question from Erosion
“Sandblasting” is an example ofthis kind of erosion.
$400 Answer from Erosion
Erosion by wind.
$500 Question from Erosion
Erosion by wind, ice, and water works together with this type of weathering to create cool features such as Hopewell Rocks.
$500 Answer from Erosion
Mechanical Weathering
Final Jeopardy
How are minerals, rocks, weathering anderosion all connected?
Final Jeopardy Answer
Minerals form rocks, rocks are then weathered and eroded away.
