EES - Goal 2.1 - Rocks and Minerals Score: 1. Quartz is a mineral because it is a white rock. natural, inorganic, and has a crystalline structure. an element. composed of more than one element. 2. Granite is a rock because it is made up of several minerals. natural, inorganic, and has a crystalline structure. made up of several different elements. found on the earth's surface. 3. One of the following mineral properties can be determined by observing, rather than doing something to a sample. streak fracture luster hardness 4. n igneous rock that formed by rapid cooling will probably have crystals that are large small or nonexistent middle-sized mixed large and small sizes 5. In which type of rock would you expect to find fossils? Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary 6. rock made up of cemented sand grains is...? conglomerate quartzite shale Page 1 of 6
7. Which of the following does not belong with the others? coal marble limestone 8. Which one of the following cooled too quickly to allow crystals to form. obsidian quartz granite 9. Magma that cools slowly beneath the earth's surface produces...? igneous rocks. fine-grained metamorphic rocks igneous rocks ore minerals 10. What process in the rock cycle are you performing if you pack a snowball so tightly it becomes an ice ball? weathering, sedimentation melting melting, recrystallization 11. What process in the rock cycle are you performing if you put salt on ice on your sidewalk? weathering, sedimentation deformation, recrystallization melting cementation 12. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic that all minerals have? efinite chemical composition Either solid or liquid Formed by inorganic processes rystalline Structure 13. What is one way igneous rocks become sediment? Weathering Page 2 of 6
Melting ompaction ooling 14. non-banded appearance of a metamorphic rock. foliated non 15. Molten rock below ground. volatiles lava magma 16. The wearing away of rock material into smaller particles by way of natural forces. weathering erosion deposition lithification 17. Which of the following is an example of an igneous rock? obsidian granite coal 18. What type of sedimentary rock is formed from weathered particles of rocks and minerals? chemical sedimentary rock sedimentary rock clastic sedimentary rock biochemical sedimentary rock 19. In which of the following settings would a metamorphic rock most likely form? an ocean floor a desert Page 3 of 6
on the slopes of an active volcano 8 kilometers below Earth s surface 20. Which of the following metamorphic rocks has a texture? marble mica schist gneiss slate 21. Use the image to the left to identify the sample. granite obsidian limestone 22. Use the image to the left to identify the sample. (escription - this stone is very light in color and is full of holes. It feels like it doesn't weigh much compared to other rocks.) pumice basalt chalk gneiss 23. Use the image to the left to identify the sample. (escription - this rock is make from layers of sand.) scoria gneiss mica schist 24. Use the image to the left to answer the question: This is an igneous rock. Which characteristic(s) describe this rock? Page 4 of 6
foliated clastic 25. Use the image to the left to answer the question: This is a sedimentary rock. Which characteristic(s) describe this rock? clastic organic 26. Use the image to the left to answer the question: This is a metamorphic rock. Which characteristic(s) describe this rock? chemical foliated 27. Use the image to the left to answer the question: This is bituminous coal, a sedimentary rock. Which characteristic(s) describe this rock? clastic organic 28. Use the image to the left to answer the question: What choice below would be the correct choice for the box that is blank? recrystallization volatiles metamorphic rock lava Page 5 of 6
29. Use the image to the left to answer the question: What should be the correct choice for the missing information? igneous rock dissolved minerals convection currents 30. Use the image to the left to answer the question: What should be the correct choice for the missing information? erosion sediments compaction cementation Page 6 of 6
