Mineral
Composed by chemical compound that is made up of tightly linked or tied elements
Mineral
Each has a specific value/use
Rocks
Composed of one or more minerals
Minerals
They have definite chemical composition
Carbonites
What group of elements is used for chalk
Sulfides
What group of elements is a great source of iron and lead
Sulfates
What group of elements is used for orthopedic casts
Native elements
What group of elements is used for jewelries and coins
Phosphates
What group of elements is used for fertilizer
Crystallization
As the magma cools different crystals form at different temperature
Metamorphism
A rock that is exposed to extreme heat and pressure but does not melt
Igneous
Form from cooling and hardening of molten magma and can be form by slowly cooling beneath the surface or more quickly at the surface
Extrusive
Forms when magma makes its way to earth's surface as lava then cools
Extrusive
Aphanitic- Very small or fine grained
Intrusive
Cools slowly beneath the earth surface and are created by magma
Intrusive
Phaneritic- Very large/coarse grained
Ultramafic
Igneous rock composition that is very dark in colour
Mafic
Igneous rock composition that is dark colour and made up of magnesium and iron
Intermediate
Igneous rock composition that is between mafic and felsic
Felsic
Igneous rock composition that is light in colour
Aphanitic
Fine grained
Phaneritic
Coarse grained
Porphyritic
Large crystals with small crystals
Glassy
Non ordered solid from rapid quenching
Pyroclastic
Composite of elected fragments
Sedimentary
Formed by the compaction and cementing together of sediments and can be formed through erosion and weathering of other rocks
Sedimentary
Has distinct layering on it's surface and it's commonly found in different bodies of water
Sedimentary
Soft and mabilis magpira-piraso since it's made up of sediments
Erosion
Due to mass movement
Deposition
Carried by wind and water
Compaction
Due to high pressure off layered sediments resulting to binding of elements
Cementation
Layering of sediments one solid sample
Lithification
The process of compaction and cementation
Clastic
Form from class or pieces of other rocks like sandstone, conglomerate, breccia, shale
Organic
Form from hard biological materials like plants, shells, bones that are compressed into rocks
Chemical
Form from chemical precipitation and evaporation
Metamorphic
Forms when minerals in an existing rocks are changed by heat and pressure below the surface and can undo physical and chemical change
Metamorphic
A type of rock that is usually found in deeper crust and is super strong, has smooth texture due to foliation
Regional
Due to changes in pressure and temperature over large region of crust and has direct contact with heat
Contact
Mainly by heat due to contact with magma
Texture
Refers to the size arrangement and grains within rocks
Foliation
Any planar arrangement of mineral grains or structural features within a rock
Mineral
Naturally occurring, inorganic, solid with definite internal structure and chemical composition
Luster
It is the quality and intensity of reflected light exhibited by the mineral
Metallic luster
Generally opaque and exhibit replesdent shine similar to a polished material
Metallic
Gold, copper, pyrite, sphalerite, cinnabar are examples of
Non metallic luster
Generally looks like glassy, dull, greasy, silky, or brilliant
Non metallic
Quartz, diamond, garnet, opal, calcite are examples of
Hardness
Measure the resistance of mineral to abrasion
Color
Unique identifying property of certain minerals
Streak
The colour of a mineral in powdered form using streak plate
Non metallic
When a mineral is scratched to a steak plate and the colour is the same
Metallic
When a mineral is scratched to a steak plate and the colour is NOT the same
Crystal form
External shape of a crystal, it is the natural shape of the mineral before the development of any cleavages or fracture
Cleavage
Break along parallel repetitive planes of weakness to form smooth flat surface
Fracture
The broken surface that are irregular and non planar, rough, jagged surface
Density
The ratio of the weight of a mineral to the weight of an equal volume of water
d=m/v
Formula for density
Silicates
Si + O
Carbonates
C + 3 oxygen
Oxide
1 oxygen + Other elements
Sulfates
S + 4 Oxygen
Sulfides
S + Oxygen
Native elements
These are PURE ELEMENTS
Metal
High thermal and electrical conductivity
Semi metal
Fragile than metals and have lower conductivity
Non metal
Non conductive and is insulator
Halides
Made with halogen elements (Cl, br, I, at, F)
Natural hazard
Threat of an event that will likely have a negative impact brought by either geological or atmospheric process
Geological hazard
Brought by geological processes/movement of plates
Earthquake
Movement of magma sa mantle because of convection current
Tectonic
A type of earthquake wherein anyone can experience this
Volcanic
A type of earthquake wherein only the people near the area can experience
Casualties
Magnitude: Vibration
Intensity: ??
Volcanic eruption
Release of ashes and gas
Local
A type of tsunami wherein the origin is in the shallow part of the water and has 1 hour duration
Farfield
A type of tsunami that is far and in the deeper level of the sea with a duration of 5days-7weeks
Liquefaction
To liquid state
Hydrometeorological Hazard
Brought by different atmospheric processes
Thunderstorm
When the initial climate is hot, high evaporation rate and high temperature
