| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Atmosphere | The type of layers that that surround the Earth with it's gases |
| Biosphere | All of Earth's organisms and the environment in which they live. |
| Geosphere | The part of Earth from its surface to its center |
| Hydrosphere | All the water in Earth's oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, and glaciers plus all the water in the atmosphere |
| Dependent Variable | factor in a experiment that can change if the independent variable is changed |
| Independent Variable | factor that is manipulated by the experimenter in experiment. |
| Hypothesis | All the water in Earth's oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, and glaciers plus all the water in the atmosphere |
| Scientific Law | a principle that describes the behavior of a natural phenomenon |
| Scientific Theory | an explanation based on many observations during repeated experiments; can be used to make a testable prediction, and is the simplest explanation; can be changed or modified with the discovery of new data |
| Cleavage | It's how slick it is to like a rock cut in half |
| Fracture | how the rock breaks and if it's break's |
| Hardness | how hard the rock |
| Luster | the reaction of a rock |
| Streak | color of mineral when rock is broken down |
| Fractional Crystallization | How the rock forms and what it turns out looking like |
| Partial Melting | melting but not all the way n |
| Pegmatite | veins that deposits extremely large grain and makes rocks bigger |
| You will be given a scenario of an experiment that you will read and identify the IV, DV, Constants, Hypothesis, Control. | make the variables dependent and independent |
| Compare and contrast mass and weight. | mass is how much space it takes up, weight is how much force it has on it. |
| Explain each part of the highlighted parts of a mineral. “Mineral- a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and a definite crystalline structure” | minerals make rocks depending into what type of rock they'll make |
| Explain what physical properties could be used to tell the difference between Pyrite (Fool’s Gold) and Gold. | they test the hardness by either scratching it with their nails or by weighing it |
| Given the harness of two different minerals and explain what would happen if they were rubbed together. | one would end up giving up on each other or scratching or breaking. |
