  3. What is a geologist?

  4. How some minerals naturally break showing smooth, flat, shiny surfaces.

  5. What is cleavage?

  6. Weathering (breaking down rocks into pieces or sediments) is caused by:

  7. What is wind, waves, plants, heating/cooling?

  8. Movement of Earth’s crust along plate boundaries produces ____

  9. What are earthquakes?

  10. This layer of the Earth is made mostly of molten rock

  11. What is the mantle ?

  12. Geologists only look at this in formations of sedimentary rock…like the Grand Canyon

  13. What are layers?

  14. To feel the size of the pieces that make up the rock.

  15. What is texture?

  16. The moving of rocks and sediments.

  17. What is erosion ?

  18. I have a hardness of 10, I am the hardest natural substance on Earth.

  19. Ekati diamond mine in Canada. What is diamond?

  20. The electricity test is performed to discover if this substance is present in a rock

  21. What is metal?

  22. This rock has been changed by heat and pressure within the Earth’s crust.

  23. What is Metamorphic rock?

  24. This part of the Earth is made of solid nickel and iron

  25. What is the inner core ?

  26. This type of rock is made from cooled magma or lava

  27. What is igneous rock ?

  28. This part of the Earth is made of molten metals: nickel and iron.

  29. What is the outer core?

  30. The Earth’s atmosphere is composed mostly of these two gases.

  31. What is 5-6 ?

  32. The Earth’s crust is not one solid piece of rock, it is made of many pieces called plates. What causes mountains to form?

  33. Grand Teton National Park Wyoming What is the the collision of crustal plates?

  34. To test a rock or mineral for large amounts of iron you would perform this test.

  35. What is The magnet test?

  36. Rocks are classified as igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary according to…

  37. What is How they formed ?

  38. Rocks and minerals are considered to be among our greatest natural ____.

  39. What are resources ?

  40. This test is done to identify the resistance of a rock or mineral’s surface to scratching.

  41. What is the hardness test ?

  42. The Earth continuously forms and reforms rocks, this is called the:

  43. What is the Rock Cycle ?

  44. When magma or lava cools and hardens it forms this kind of rock.

  45. What is Igneous rock?

  46. The picking up and carrying away of weathered rock pieces

  47. What is erosion?

  48. Daily Double How much would you like to wager? Animals or plants preserved in sedimentary rock

  49. Fossils give clues to Earth’s past. What are fossils ?

  50. “layered rock” This type of rock is formed by layers of sediments pressed and cemented together. Fossils can be found is this kind of rock.
