What is the name of the
naturally occurring solid
substances found in rocks?
What is a mineral?
We use these clues to identify
unknown minerals
What are lustre, colour, streak,
cleavage, hardness and fracture?
This mineral is rated as the
hardest by Moh’s hardness
scale
What is Diamond?
This happens when a mineral
or rock break into fragments
or rough uneven surfaces
What is a fracture?
When identifying how a
mineral shines under light we
call this:
What is Lustre?
What are the Three Rock Families?
What is Igneous, Sedimentary and
Metamorphic.
This is the name of the molten
rock found deep below the
earth’s crust?
What is magma?
These are the loose materials such
as bits of rock, minerals and plant
and animal remains.
What is Sedimentary Rock?
This black rock is an example of
extrusive rock that forms when lava
rapidly cools.
What is Obsidian?
What is the parent rock of
the metamorphic rock called
marble?
What is Sedimentary Limestone ?
This type of rock is formed from tremendous
heat and pressure within the earth.
What is Metamorphic Rock?
This is the opening in the earth
that marks the origin of a
volcano.
What is a VENT?
This is the molten rock that
flows down the side of a
volcano.
What is LAVA?
This layer of the Earth will
not allow S-waves to pass
through.
What is the Inner Core?
These layers of the Earth are
Solid.
What is the Earth’s Crust and Inner
Core? (Core)
This is the upward part of
the folded rock in the crosssection below.
What is Anticline?
This type of fossil would best
represent an ancient man
trapped in ice .
What is Original remains?
This type of fossil is formed
when water dissolves the
calcium carbonate in bones
and replaces it with silica?
What is Petrified?
This type of fault is generated
when two plates diverge and
one of the blocks drops?
What is a normal fault?
You can describe the top of
these mountains as sharp or
pointy.
What are young mountains?
Geologist use this principle to
infer the relative ages of
different layers of rock
What is Superposition?
This is the correct order of
the eras, starting from today
and moving back in time.
What is cenozoic, mesozoic, paleozoic,
Precambrian ?
This era of time in the Geological
Time Scale which humans are
placed.
What is Cenozoic?
These are naturally occurring
hydrocarbons such as oil, coal
and gas
What is Petroleum?
This is a solid form of
petroleum.
What is Bitumen?
This is the powdery mark left by some
minerals when they are scraped
against a hard porcelain plate.
What is streak?
This layer of the earth has the
highest temperature
What is the inner core?
This man is responsible for
the Theory of Plate Tectonics
Who is Tuzo Wilson?
This happens when 2 plates
collide or converge and one is
shoved underneath the other
one.
What is Subduction Zone?
These volcanoes around the Pacific
Ocean make up this.
What the Ring of Fire?
