| Dependent Variable | Factor in an experiment that can change if the independent variable is change |
| Independent Variable | Factor that is manipulated by the experimenter in an experiment |
| Crystal | Solid in which atoms are arranged in repeating |
| Dependent Variable | Factor in an experiment that can change if the independent variable is change |
| Luster | That way that a mineral reflects light from its surface two types metallic and nonmetallic |
| Hypothesis | A testable explanation of situation |
| Hardness | Measure of how easily a mineral can be scratched which is determined by the arrangement of minerals atoms |
| Crystal | Solid in which atoms are arranged in repeating |
| Cleavage | The manner in which a mineral breaks along planes where atomic bonding is weak |
| Luster | That way that a mineral reflects light from its surface two types metallic and nonmetallic |
| Fracture | when a mineral breaks into pieces with arc like rough or jagged edges |

| Crystal | Solid in which atoms are arranged in repeating |
| Streak | Color a mineral leaves when it is rubbed across an unglazed porcelain plate or when it is broken up powdered |
| Luster | That way that a mineral reflects light from its surface two types metallic and nonmetallic |
| Igneous Rock | Intrusive or extrusive rock formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma or lava |
| Hardness | Measure of how easily a mineral can be scratched which is determined by the arrangement of minerals atoms |
| Cleavage | The manner in which a mineral breaks along planes where atomic bonding is weak |
| Extrusive Rock | Fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and solidifies on Earth's surface |
| Fracture | when a mineral breaks into pieces with arc like rough or jagged edges |
| Extrusive Rock | Fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and solidifies on Earth's surface |
| Streak | Color a mineral leaves when it is rubbed across an unglazed porcelain plate or when it is broken up powdered |
| Igneous Rock | Intrusive or extrusive rock formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma or lava |
| Lithification | |
| Intrusive Rock | Coarse-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools slowly and solidifies inside Earth’s crust |
| Granitic Rock | Light colored rock that has high silica content and contains quartz and potassium feldspar |
| Extrusive Rock | Fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and solidifies on Earth's surface |
| Basaltic Rock | Rock that is dark colored has low silica contents and is rich in iron and magnesium contains mostly plagioclase and pyroxene |
| Granitic Rock | Light colored rock that has high silica content and contains quartz and potassium feldspar |
| Sediment | Small pieces of rock that are moved and deposited by water wind glaciers and gravity |
| Lithification | The physical and chemical processes that transform sediments into sedimentary rocks |
| Porosity | Percentage of open spaces between grains in a material |
| Foliated | Metamorphic rock such as schist or gneiss whose minerals are squeezed under high pressure and arranged in wavy layers and bands |
| Nonfoliated | Are composed mainly of minerals that form with blocky crystal shapes |
| Weathering | Chemical or mechanical process that breaks down and changes rocks on or near earth's surface and whose rate is influenced by factors such as precipitation and temperature |
| Mechanical Weathering | weathering-Process that breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces but does not involve any change in their composition |
| Chemical Weathering | Process by which rocks and minerals undergo changes in their composition due to chemical reactions with agents such as acids water oxygen and carbon dioxide |
| Erosion | Removal and transport of weathered materials from one location to another by agents such as water wind glaciers and gravity |
| Deposition | Occurs when eroded materials are dropped in another location |
| Infiltration | Process by which precipitation that has fallen on land surfaces enters the ground and becomes groundwater |
| Water Table | Upper boundary of the zone of saturation that rises during wet seasons and drops during dry periods |
| Aquifer | Permeable underground layer through which groundwater flows relatively easy |
| Aquiclude | Impermeable layer that is a barrier to groundwater such as silt clay and shale |
| Artesia Well | Fountain of water that spurts above the land surface when a well taps a deep confined aquifer containing water under pressure |
