earth's resource study sets

physical

A _________________ property is a characteristic that can be observed or measured, like color and luster.

renewable

A resource that can naturally replace itself quicker than people consuming it is

conglomerate and sandstone

A teacher gave students five rock samples. Each rock was labeled with its name and how it formed. The students recorded their observations in the table below.Based on the information in the rock sample table, which is a sedimentary rock?

eroision

As the rocks break from the mountain in #1, they roll down with the water in #2 and are left at the bottom in #3. Which of the three geologic processes is happening at point 2

sediments and igneous

Based on the processes shown in this diagram, what is being formed at #2? Based on the processes shown in this diagram, what is being formed at #1?

form at the surface

Extrusive igneous rocks cool quickly because they

nonrenewable

Fossil fuels formed over a long period of time when heat and pressure were applied to the remains of living things. That makes fossil fuels

Compaction and Cementation

Heat and pressure can transform igneous rock into metamorphic rock. What is part of the process that can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?

melting and cooling of magma

Igneous rocks are formed by

Apatite

Kendra has a mineral that she wants to identify. It is white in color, has a glassy luster, and has a hardness of 5. The table below shows some properties of selected minerals.Based on the information in the table, Kendra's mineral is most similar to.

fossils

More often than metamorphic or igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks can contain:

Granite

Of the igneous rocks shown above, which would have cooled slowly deep underground during its formation?

Nonmetals

Ores are valuable natural resources because they are a source for useful metals and

from magma deep underground

Ricardo has an intrusive igneous rock in his rock collection. Where did this rock most likely form?

Metamorphic

Rock layers may be forced deep underground and exposed to high temperatures and pressures. These rocks change and become

sedimentary

Rocks that contain fragments of bones, shells, and plant remains are most likely

B

Sara wrote down some observations of four rock samples she was studying. Based on her observations, which of the following rock samples is most likely a sedimentary rock?

shows how rocks change into other rocks

Scientists use the rock cycle to describe the processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation.

less than 8, but more than 6

The Mohs scale for minerals is shown below. An unknown mineral can be scratched by topaz, but not by feldspar. According to the Mohs scale, which of the following best describes the hardness of the unknown mineral?

sedimentary rock

The diagram below shows some of the layers of rocks found in the Grand Canyon. These rocks formed from material that had been weathered and eroded, then deposited and compacted. What type of rocks are these?

weathering

The process of breaking down rocks and creating sediments is called

Deposition

The process that places small pieces of rock or other matter in a new place.

chemical

The property that describes matter based on its ability to change into new materials with different properties, such as flammability and its ability to react to acid.

minerals

What are natural, solid materials found on Earth that are the building blocks of rock?

weathering, erosion, deposition

What is the correct order of the three geological processes that shape the Earth?

melting and cooling

What processes will change a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?

extrusive igneous rock

When a volcano erupts, lava flows out from the vent. What type of rock is formed as the lava cools?
