Pyrite FeS2
Quartz SiO2
Diamond C
Graphite C
3 types of basaltic volcanoes Shield, flood basalt, cinder cones
Journey of sediments Weathering (physical/chemical), erosion, transport, deposition, compaction, and cementation
Types of mass wasting Rock falls, rock avalanches, rock slides, slump, earth flow, soil creep
Mineral classifications Color, hardness, streak, luster, transparency, reactions to magnets and acid,crystal formation,
What kind of volcano is Mt. Rainer Stratovolcano
What kind of volcano is St. Helens? Stratvolcano
Mohs scale Determines hardness; Diamond, conundrum, topaz, quartz, pyrite, O, Fluorite, Gypsum, Talc
CA mineral, gem, and rock Gold, benotite, serpentine
Causes of metamorphism Stress, heat, and fluids
3 types of sedimentary rocks Clastic, chemical and bioclastic
What are clastic rocks? Rocks made up of different pieces
What are chemical rocks? Rocks that are formed from chemicals that are left over from transportation. I.e. rock salt made from evaporites
What are bioclastic rocks? Rocks that have dead plants
What is chemical weathering? Dissolution of minerals in rock from water
Define angle of repose The angle which is above gravitational stability
Define hydrolysis Adding water and changing the crystal structure
Define erosion Removal of rocks and sediment due to wind water or gravity
Define deposition Decrease in speed
Define delta Where the stream meets the ocean and minerals begin to deposit. Creates fan of particles. Bigger rocks settle first
Alluvial fans Rivers/streams coming down from the side o a mountain. More angular grains due to less transport
