Mineral Test 11-20-15 Flashcards
Magma Traits
Cools slower,forms bigger crystals ,under ground(higher temp)
Lava
Above Ground ,smaller crystals (Cools Faster)
Geodes
Rock with hollow interior lined with crystals
Mineral identification
1) Color
2) Luster
3) Streak
4) Hardness
5) Special Property’s
6) Crystal Shape
7) Density
Density
D=m/v
Density of each mineral is unique
Hot molten rock that comes onto earth surface
Lava
Molson rock under earth surface
Magma
Irregular breakage of mineral
Fracture
Not formed from living or once lived things
Inorganic
The way a mineral reflects light
Luster
When magma cools quickly
Small crystals
Mineral breaks along smooth surfaces
Cleaves
Solid with repeating pattern of atoms
Crystal
Forms when magma cools slowly under the earths surface
Large Crystals
Mass per volume
Density
