Test I - Modified True or False

This document contains two tests assessing understanding of minerals: 1. A modified true/false test with 10 statements about mineral properties and identification. Key terms assessed include streak, specific gravity, hardness, luster, gems, ore minerals. 2. A classification test identifying 25 common minerals as elements, silicates, quartz, sulfates, carbonates, oxides, halides, or phosphates. Minerals listed include silicon, apatite, fluorite, azurite, barite, agate, sodalite, amethyst, jasper, topaz, talc, stibnite, olivine, and amazonite.

Test I – Modified True or False:


Directions: Write True if the statement is correct. Otherwise, change the underlined word by
writing the word or phrase that will make the statement correct.

Cleavage 1. Streak is the tendency of minerals to break along definite smooth planes.
True 2. Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of the mineral to the weight of an equal
volume of water.
True 3. The degree of hardness is determined by observing the comparative ease or
difficulty with which one mineral can be scratched.
True 4. Luster refers to the appearance of a mineral surface in reflected light.
True 5. Streak is produced by rubbing the mineral in a ceramic plate or by grinding up a
small piece of the mineral.
Au 6. Gold is a soft metallic element. Its symbol is Ag. It is very dense. As one of the
noble metals it is resistant to corrosion and oxidation in moist air.
True 7. Some minerals are used as ornaments or jewelries. They are called gems.
Ore minerals 8. Mineral deposits that have economic value are called core minerals. They are
minerals that contain a large amount of metallic elements and
compounds.
True 9. Minerals are said to be naturally occurring because they are formed though
natural geological processes.
Garnet 10. Amethyst is a group of silicate minerals with six distinct varieties. It is widely
used in jewelry making and as an industrial abrasive. The chemical
formula is X3Y2Si3O12.
