					  What are the characteristics all minerals share?					 
					 Formed in nature, it is solid, it is non living, has a crystalline structure | 
					  What is a rock?					 
					 A naturally formed solid made of minerals | 
					  What are the characteristics of the crust?					 
					 Thinnest layer of the Earth, separated into two parts continental, and oceanic crust | 
					  What is a tectonic plate?					 
					 A floating piece of the lithosphere that moves on the asthenosphere | 
					  What forms at a convergent boundary?					 
					 A mountain range | 
| 
					  What are the tests used to identify minerals?					 
					 Color, luster, cleavage & fracture, streak, hardness, special properties, density | 
					  What is the rock cycle?					 
					 The process in which a new rock forms from an old rock | 
					  What are the characteristics of the mantle?					 
					 Thickest layer of the Earth, separated into 3 layers the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere | 
					  What is sea-floor spreading?					 
					 The process in which new oceanic lithosphere forms | 
					  What forms at a divergent boundary?					 
					 A mid-ocean ridge and possibly a volcano | 
| 
					  What are 2 minerals that can scratch calcite?					 
					 Quartz and topaz | 
					  How to create a sedimentary rock?					 
					 Go through weathering & erosion, deposition, and compact action and cementation | 
					  What are the characteristics of the outer core?					 
					 Outer layer of the core and has melted iron | 
					  Where is ocean floor new and old?					 
					 It is new near the mid-ocean ridge and old near a trench | 
					  What forms at a transform boundary?					 
					 A fault line | 
| 
					  What is a mineral?					 
					 A naturally formed solid that has a crystalline structure | 
					  How to create a metamorphic rock?					 
					 Go through heat & pressure | 
					  What are the characteristics of the inner core?					 
					 Center of the Earth and is a solid ball of iron | 
					  What is continental drift?					 
					 A theory in which all the continents came together and broke apart | 
					  Why do rocks in the mantle move from top to bottom?					 
					 They move to the top because rocks harden and go to the top, they cool and sink down | 
| 
					  How to create an igneous rock?					 
					 Go through melting & cooling | 
					  What are the 5 physical layers of the Earth?					 
					 Lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core | 
					  What is deformation?					 
					 The process in which rocks change shape because of stress | ||
