Topics of this game:
- What is an element?
- Mineral identification by color
- Highly prized minerals because they are rare and beautiful.
- An Ore that is used to make powder
- Fool's gold; mineral that can strike fire
- Is molten material from a volcano or from deep inside the earth which cools and hardens
- (Volcanic) is formed on Earth's surface when molten rock flows out of the earth (lava) and cools quickly at the surface to form fine crystals.
- Comprises most of the oceanic crust.
- Extrusive Igneous Rock - A usually black or banded, hard volcanic glass that displays shiny, curved surfaces when fractured and is formed by r
- (Plutonic) is formed in the Earth when molten rock flows upward into the more solid part of the crust. Rocks have a coarse - grain.
- Comprises the majority of the continental crust.
- can form from particles of rock, from remains of plants or animals, or from chemical reactions
- the process by which sediments are pressed together under their own weight
- The process in which minerals precipitate into pore spaces between sediment grains and bind sediments together to form rock.
- A sedimentary rock formed by cementing grains of sand over time.
- mineral of fossilized carbon
- forms from other rocks by heat and pressure
- have mineral grains that change, grow and rearrange but don't form parallel layers
- shows how the earth's rocks are changed again and again. The rocks can be changed at times to another type of rock.
- molten rock under the surface
- molten rock that reaches the surface
- is the process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces called sediments
- is the movement of weathered materials to new locations, where they are then deposited.
