  5. Rocks and Minerals 200 • NAME THE SHINY DENSE MINERAL WITH METALLIC LUSTER THAT FLAKES EASILY IN YOUR HAND

  6. Rocks and Minerals 200 • GALENA

  7. Rocks and Minerals 300 • NAME A FINE-TEXTURED EXTRUSIVE MAFIC IGNEOUS ROCK, and DESCRIBE where on earth this rock is most commonly found

  8. Rocks and Minerals 300 • BASALT, forms ocean crust,

  9. Rocks and Minerals 400 EXPLAIN WHAT CONTACT METAMORPHISM IS, AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A ROCK FORMED IN THIS WAY

  10. Rocks and Minerals 400 • BAKING OF ROCK NEAR AN IGNEOUS INTRUSION • LIMESTONE BECOMES MARBLE

  11. Rocks and Minerals 500 • DEFINE FOLIATION AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A ROCK THAT HAS IT • What rock is in the background of this slide?

  12. Rocks and Minerals 500 • ALIGNMENT OF MINERALS IN A METAMORPHIC ROCK • granite

  13. MAPS 100 • DEFINE LONGITUDE

  14. MAPS 100 • DISTANCE EAST OR WEST OF THE PRIME MERIDIAN

  15. MAPS 200 • GIVE THE LATITUDE TO THE NEAREST MINUTE OF ALBANY

  16. MAPS 200 • 42 DEGREES AND 40 MINUTES NORTH LATITUDE

  17. MAPS 300 • DEFINE ISOLINE
