Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Why are the first minerals to crystalize the last to melt when the rock is heated?   Because it takes such a high temperature to be melted as soon as it cools it crystalizes inside it doesnt take as high of temperature to stay molten  
🗑
What is the diffrence between extrusive and in trusive rocks?   Extrusive-fine grained, cool quickly on earths surface Intrusive-coarse grained, cool slowly, beneath earths surface  
🗑
How do temperature and pressure change as a mass of magam moves upward through the Earths crust?   Temperature and pressure decrease  
🗑
What are 3 ways magma is classified?   Basaltic-least amount of silica Andesitic rhyolitic-most silica  
🗑
What is the classification of magma based on?   amount of silica it contains  
🗑
Why are there diffrent types of an igneous rock   diffrent grain sizes  
🗑
What is fractional crystalization   when magma cools diffirent minerals form at diffrent temperatures  
🗑
what determines texture?   rate of cooling determines shape of grains which is texture  
🗑
How do you check texture?   BY making thin slice and looking under a microscope  
🗑
State 1 reason why igneous rocks are resources?   minerals found in in them are resistant to weathering  
🗑
what is most common igneous rock?   granite  
🗑
what is magma made of (3 things)?   molten rock, gases, mineral crystals  
🗑
how does silica affect magma(2 things)   1. melting temp 2. quickly magma flows  
🗑
HOw are Igneous rocks classified?   extrusive and intrusive  
🗑
What so felsic rocks look like?   light colored, high silica content, contains quartz  
🗑
what do mafic rocks look like?   dark colored, lower silica content, and rich in iron and magnesium  
🗑
Do felsic or mafic rocks have higher silica content?   felsic  
🗑
what size crystals form when magma cools slowly?   large  
🗑
what size crystals form when lava flows quickly?   small  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
