Q

It is the measure of the density of the mineral.

A

Specific Gravity

34
Q

Aggregation of minerals and mineraloids

A

Rocks

35
Q

are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth’s surface

A

Sedimentary rocks

36
Q

It Is Formed From The Cooling And Solidification Of Magma.

A

Igneous Rocks

37
Q

It Form From Slowly Cooled Magma Below The Surface.

A

Intrusive Igneous Rocks

38
Q

It Form From Slowly Cooled Magma/lava Above The Surface

A

Extrusive Igneous Rocks

39
Q

are formed from other rocks that are changed because of heat or pressure

A

Metamorphic rocks

40
Q

It Is A Remnant Of Any Ancient Animal Or Plant That Has Been Preserved In Rock.

A

Fossils

41
Q

Are Processes That Takes Place At Or Near The Earths Surface That Makes The Surface Wear Away. They Are Responsible Of The Degradation And Sculpting Of The Earths Surface.

A

Exogenic Process

42
Q

is the process by which exposed rock is broken down into small pieces by the elements of nature (wind, rain, ice, chemical actions, plants, etc.)

A

Weathering

43
Q

The Separation And Removal Of Weathered And Unweather Rocks And Soil From Its Substrate Due To Gravity Or Transporting Agents. The Sediments Are Move From One Place To Another.

A

Erosion

44
Q

The process by which the sediment settles out of the water or air carrying. Sediment is deposited when the wind or water slows down.

A

Deposition

45
Q

The bottom layers get compacted by the weight of the layers above them.

A

Compaction

46
Q

While compaction is going on, minerals in the rock slowly dissolve. The dissolved minerals seep into the spaces between the compacted sediment. They crystallize and glue the sediments together.

A

Cementation

47
Q

layers or series of layers of rocks.

A

Strata

48
Q

It Is A Reaction of Oxygen with Minerals In The Rock That Form Oxides.

A

Oxidation

49
Q

Slurry

50
Q

An incline like a slide or a ramp

A

Slope

51
Q

It Disintegrates Rocks Breaking In Smaller Fragments From A Larger Block Or Outcrop Rock Without Changing The Rocks Composition.

A

Physical Weathering

52
Q

It Occurs When There Are Chemical Changes In The Composition Of The Rock.

A

Chemical Weathering

53
Q

The Main Agent Of Erosion.

A

Moving water

54
Q

It Is A Natural Process In Which A Material Is Carried To The Bottom Of Bodies Of Water And Forms To Solid.

A

Sedimentation

55
Q

It Is A Model That Describes All The Processes By Which Rock Are Formed, Modified, Transported, Decomposed, Melted And Reformed.

A

Rock Cycle

56
Q

It Is The Downslope Movement Of Rock, Soil And Due To Gravity.

A

Mass wasting

57
Q

when weathered material remains in place and remains in its pure state

A

Regolith

The Resistance To The Flow (Antonym For Fluidity)

A

Viscosity

63
Q

The Event When The Lava Is Spills Out Of The Volcano.

A

Eruption

It Is The Process When A Rock Changes Its Form Into A New One Without Undergo Melting Or Disintegration.

A

Stress

65
Q

Ability Of A Rock Or Material To Handle Stress.

A

Strain

66
Q

Fractures In Rocks That Shows Little Movement Or No Movement At All.

A

Joints

67
Q

Are Extremely Long And Deep Break Or Large Crack In A Rock. Result Of Continuous Pushing Or Pulling.

A

Faults

68
Q

It Is A Vibration In The Surface Of Earth Resulting From The Sudden Release Of Energy.

A

Earthquake

69
Q

Originates In The Lower Part Of The Earth’s Crust And In The Upper Portion Of The Mantle Known As The Asthenosphere.

A

Magma

70
Q

A Mixture Of Molten Rocks, Minerals And Gases

A

Magma

71
Q

A Type Of Magma That Has The Highest Viscosity Level.

A

Felsic

72
Q

A Type Of Magma That Has The Lowest Viscosity Level.

A

Ultra-Mafic

73
Q

Involves The Upward Movement Of The Earth’s Mostly Solid Mantle. The Hot Material Rises To An Area Of Lower Pressure Through The Process Of Convection

A

Decompression Melting

74
Q

Happens When Hot, Liquid Rock Intrudes Into The Earth’s Crust. As The Liquid Rock Solidifies, It Loses This Heat And Transfers It To The Surrounding Crust.

A

Heat Transfer

75
Q
