Crystals & Minerals

Crystals gorwth
We learned that crystal growth in science class, we were learned two types of crystals. We created a solution by mixing minerals with water. We are get a pencil and tied the string in the middle.We put amount of minerals in a beaker with some water, when the water going heat that we put amount of minerals into the beaker and used tool to mixing it with the water.Finally, we put the beaker next the window and waiting it is cooling.The result is minerals becomes crystal. We were doing same thing with another minerals. We learn temperture affect the crystals growth.


Mineral properties
Luster
metallic- the minerals look like the metal

 nonmetallic - does not look like metal

 

 color -  the surface color of rocks

 streak - the color of minerals that streak in the streak plate

 hardness- a measure soft or hard of rock

cleavage- break of rock in evenly

 fracture- break of rock in unevenly

 composition- some mineral made uo to a  mineral

Mineral Identification

    Sulfur

Pyrite
 

Luster: nonmetallic
Hardness: 2
It is fracture
Color: yellow
Composition: S

luster: metallic

hardness: 6.5

it is break fracture

color: brassy yellow

rock cycle

ROCK CYCLE

       The rock cycle is natural processes of rock change from different kinds of rock. The magma move up through the volcano change to the lava get cooling become the Igneous rock. The Igneous rock was through the weathering and erosion become the sediments. The sediments are compaction,then they glue all thing together become sedimentary rock. The sedimentary rock get heat and pressure becomes the metamorphic rock. The Mentamorphic rock through solid to liquid by heat to the lava. The rock cycle never stop.


ROCKS


Metamorphic rock - rock by heat or pressure
 

Magma- melting rock inside the earth

 Solidification- to become solid,very heat

Igneous rock- rocks that from when magma become cool and solid.
 

 Weathering-  process of breaking rocks into small peaces.

 Erosion- process of when materials are moved by weather

 Sediment- rock peaces

 Compaction- process of when the piece of rock getting together.

 Cementation- process when the piece of rock glue each other

 Sedimentary rock- from by another piece of rock running by water getting each other

ROCK TYPES
Sedimentary rock
Clatic - from by broken piece of rock and running with water meet with other piece of rock then stick together

 Crystalline - from by chemical make up

 Bioclastic - form in same way with clastic but it consisting with dead animals

 Igneous rock
Intrusive -  inside of volano make big crystals

 Extrusive - outside of volano make small ctystal

 Metamorphic rock
Foliated-  outside of a metamorphic rock has a line

 Non-Foliated - ouside of a metamorphic rock does not have a line

about me

       Science is mystery subiect.
       I like cats.
       Ghost is very scares me.
       Ice cream and sushi are my favorite food.
       I will be a worker when I grow up.
       I have a brother. He is 15 years old.
       My favorite color is blue.
