Chapter 8 Section 1Minerals– Earth’s Jewels Chapter 8 Section 2Igneous and sedimentary rocks Mr. Perez Chapter 8 Section 3Metamorphic rocks and rock cycle
Section 1 Vocabulary • Mineral- inorganic, solid materials found in nature • Rock- solid material made up of two or more minerals • Crystal- solid materials with a repeating pattern • Gem- minerals that are rare and can be cut and polished , giving them a beautiful appearance • Ore- mineral that contains enough useful substance that it can be sold for profit
What is a mineral? Minerals are inorganic, Solid materials formed in nature. Inorganic means that are not made by plants or animals
Properties of minerals • Crystals • Cleavage & Fracture • Color • Streak & Luster • Hardness • Specific gravity
Properties of minerals • COLOR: the way the minerals look can be caused by impurities • STREAK: the color that appears when the minerals is slid on a white, unglazed tiled called a streak plate • LUSTER: how light is reflected off the mineral • HARDNESS: Using the MOHS SCALE, classify how hard the mineral is • SPECIFIC GRAVITY: compares the weight of the mineral with an equal volume of water • OTHER PROPERTIES: • Magnetism • Taste • Reactivity
Common minerals • Most of the rock-forming minerals are silicates, which contain silicon and oxygen. • Feldspar • Quartz • Other important rock-forming minerals are carbonates, which contain carbon and oxygen. • Calcite
GEMS • Gems are minerals that can be cut and polished , giving them a beautiful appearance– beautiful luster and color • VERY RARE, because they form under special conditions • Require extremely high pressures • Examples of gems: diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds
ores • Ores are minerals that contain enough of a useful substance that it can be sold for profit • Examples of ores: copper ore, aluminum ore, gold ore • Ores are processed: • Mined • Smelted: melted and useful product separated from the rest • Refined (purified) • Processed
Section 2 Vocabulary • Lava- molten rock material that exists at or above Earth’s surface • Igneous rock- rock formed when melted rock material from inside Earth cools • Extrusive- melted rock material cools on Earth’s surface • Intrusive- melted rock materials cools below Earth’s surface • Sedimentary rock- sediment collected in layers and compacted together
Section 3 Vocabulary • Pressure- force applied over a given area • Metamorphic rock- new rocks that form when existing rocks are heated or squeezed but not melted • Foliated- rocks that have visible layers or elongated grains of mineral • Nonfoliated- rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands of minerals • Rock cycle- cycle that describes how different kinds of rock are related to one another and how rocks change from one type to another
DRAW Metamorphic rocks • Foliated rocks include: slate gneiss phyllite schist
Draw Metamorphic Rocks • Nonfoliated rocks include: quartzite soapstone marble
