The Earth | Heat Transfer | Minerals & Rocks | Physical Properties |
---|---|---|---|
What is the thin outer layer part of the Earth ?
The Crust
|
What is heat in the outer core & in the mantle this transfer is caused by change in density ?
Convection Transfer
|
What is a naturally occurring inorganic solid that has crystal structure & a define chemical composition ?
Minerals
|
By observing how easily it is scratched ( Moh's Hardness Scale ) ?
Hardness
|
What is the tick layer below the crust ?
The Mantle
|
What are the factors that affect density ?
temperature
|
Explain what inorganic and organic are ?
Organic = from living things
Inorganic = from non living things |
What is property that can help identify it ?
Color
|
What is the plastic (rock that flows), but still mostly solid, layer of the mantle ?
The Asthenosphere
|
If the temperature of a material is raised what will happen ?
it's density decreases
|
Contrast inorganic and organic
Inorganic is made from silicon and oxygen and organic is made from nature and are naturally occurring ?
|
Tell me what streak and luster are ?
Streak- the powder color left behind when scratched on a porcelan tile
|
What is the brittle outer layer of the earth made up of the crust & uppermost mantle ?
The Lithosphere
|
As the pressure of a material is raised what will
happen ?
it's density increases
|
What is cleavage and fracture ?
Clevage- breaks along smooth flat surfaces
Fracture- breaks along rough and irregular surfaces |
|
What is the dense metallic center of the earth?
The core
|
Thermal energy in Earth's outer core & mantle escapes toward the surface mostly by what ?
by convection
|
What is the amount of matter an object has per unit called ?
Density
