Geosphere

Question 1

Forms and textures of the rocks

Answer 1

Homogeneous

Heterogeneous

Question 2

What is homogeneous

Answer 2

Only one material

Question 3

What is heterogeneous

Answer 3

More than one material (two or more)

Question 4

where can the rocks come from?

Answer 4

From the space

From volcanos

Question 5

Different Layer of the Geosphere?

Capas de la tierra?

Answer 5

Crust
Core
Mantle

Question 6

Describe the Crust

Answer 6

Corteza. Maybe: Continental (70 km) and Oceanic (6km).
The crust is that part of the Geosphere that has varied layers of density and thickness. It is comprised of the oceanic crust (with dense rock layer) and continental crust (with a non-dense rock layer). Although it is made up of different types of minerals and rocks, the crust mostly consists of oxygen, calcium, aluminum, sodium, silicon, potassium, magnesium, and iron.

Question 7

Describe the Core

Answer 7

The core is the portion of the Geosphere that lies beneath the mantle. Mostly consisting of iron, the core has two different parts with varied thickness. While the outer core (liquid) has a thickness of 2250km, the thickness of the inner core (solid) is 1220km

Question 8

Describe the Mantle

Answer 8

Upper mantle (manto superior). Its state ranges from liquid (magma) to solid.
Lower mantle (manto inferior). It has a solid and liquid state

Question 9

Types of mineral properties

Answer 9

Optical properties
Mechanical properties
Physical properties
Chemical properties

Question 10

What are the Optical Properties of the minerals

Answer 10

Colour and streack
luster-reflect light
transparency
birefrigence
Fluorence-give of

Question 11

What are the Mechanical Properties of the minerals

Answer 11

Hardness (mons scare)
Brigthleness
Plasticity
Elasticity
Fracture

Question 12

What are the Physical Properties of the minerals

Answer 12

Magnetism
Electrical conductivity
Continue roting
Density

Question 13

density formula?

Answer 13

Density d=M/V

Question 14

What are the Chemical Properties of the minerals

Answer 14

Reactivity with adict
Solubility (ability to dissaire)
Sample: When you put some watter on a glass and then salt, the salt dissolve (salt is a mineral)
Rocks are composed of 1 or more types of minerals
Rocks are classified in order of HOW THEY ARE MADE

Question 15

Types of rock

Answer 15

igneous rock
Sedymentary rock
Metamorphic rock

Question 16

What is igneous rock?

Answer 16

Internal geological processes. Formed from magma.

Question 17

What is Sedymentary rock?

Answer 17

External geological processes. Formed from sediments.

Question 18

What is Metamorphic rock?

Answer 18

Internal geological processes. Rocks are fromed from heating and high pressure (are always solid)

Question 19

Classes of igneous rocks?

Answer 19

Based on how quickly it cools. The crystal are small is it cools quicly. The crystal are large if it cools slowly. The classes are:
Plutonic
Volcanic

Question 20

Describe plutonic

Answer 20

Cools on the surface (cools quickly so smal crystals). Se enfría en la superficie.

Question 21

Describe volcanic

Answer 21

Magma cools down inside the earth (cools slowly so large crystals).

Question 22

What are metamorphic rocks?

Answer 22

Are rock that have been transformed by high pressure and high heat.

Question 23

What are regional metamorphism?

Answer 23

Is the transformation of rocks over large areas due to pressure (there is always pressure and heat)

Question 24

What are contact matamorphism?

Answer 24

Is the transformation of rocks that are next to magma due to the high temperature.

Question 25

Describe Rock cycle
