1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In an experiment, what s the difference between the manipulated variable and the responding variable? In an experiment, what s the best way to represent parts of a whole? The mineral scratch test is used to test for Explain the difference between cleavage and fracture. Which mineral has fracture? manipulated variable -- changed by the scientist (also called the independent variable). responding variable -- changes due to the manipulated variable (also called the dependent variable) Pie chart hardness Cleavage -- the mineral breaks along straight planes. Fracture -- the mineral breaks unevenly. 6. The process of cementation is associated with what kind of rock? 2nd from the right. sedimentary
7. 8. 9. 10 11 12 Basalt is a. Clastic sedimentary rock b. Intrusive igneous rock c. Extrusive igneous rock What is the parent rock of the metamorphic rock marble? Explain the difference between an igneous rock and a metamorphic rock. Oil, coal, and natural gas are fossil fuels formed under what conditions? Limestone an igneous rock forms from melting rock or minerals. A metamorphic rock forms when heat and pressure change existing rock. a. low temperature and high pressure b. high temperature and high pressure Describe how petroleum is created. Petroleum formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms. Their remains sank to the bottom of seas as sediments. Over millions of years, high heat and pressure changed the remains into oil.
