TYPES OF ROCKS
WHAT TYPE OF ROCK FORMS FROM COOLED LAVA OR MAGMA?
IGNEOUS ROCK
THE PROCESS BY WHICH ROCKS ARE BROKEN DOWN BY WIND, WATER, AND ICE
WEATHERING
A RESOURCE THAT COMES FROM NATURE AND IS USED BY PEOPLE
NATURAL RESOURCE
THIS BLACK ROCK IS BURNED FOR ENERGY AND FORMED FROM ANICENT PLANT MATERIAL
COAL
TURNING OFF LIGHTS WHEN LEAVING A ROOM IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS
CONSERVATION
THIS TYPE OF ROCK IS FORMED FROM LAYERS OF SEDIMENTS PRESSED TOGETHER OVER TIME.
SEDIMENTARY ROCK
THE ROCK CYCLE IS POWERED BY THESE TWO MAIN EARTH FORCES
HEAT AND PRESSURE
THIS TYPE OF RESOURCE CAN BE REPLACED OR REPLENISHED OVER TIME
RENEWABLE
THIS FOSSIL FUEL IS USED IN CARS AND MADE FROM ANICENT SEA ORGANISMS
OIL
PLANTING TREES TO REPLACE ONES THAT ARE CUT DOWN IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS
REFORESTATION
THIS TYPE OF ROCK IS FORMED BY HEAT AND PRESSURE DEEP INSIDE EARTH
METAMORPHIC ROCK
SEDIMENTARY ROCK CAN CHANGE INTO METAMORPHIC ROCK THROUGH THESE TWO PROCESSES
HEAT AND PRESSURE
WATER, SUNLIGHT, AND WIND ARE EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE OF RESOURCE
RENEWABLE
THIS FOSSIL FUEL IS FOUND UNDERGROUND AND USED FROM HEATING AND COOKING
NATURAL GAS
THE PRACTICE OF USING RESOURCES IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS THEM FOR THE FUTURE
SUSTAINABILITY
GRANITE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE OF ROCK
IGNEOUS
WHEN MAGMA COOLS QUICKLY, THE CRYSTALS ARE USUALLY THIS SIZE
SMALL
A NATURAL RESOURCE THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED QUICKLY
NONRENEWABLE
FOSSIL FUELS FORM OVER THIS LENGTH OF TIME
MILLIONS OF YEARS
THE "3 RS" OF SUSTAINABILITY STAND FOR THESES THREE ACTIONS
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
LIMESTONE CAN BECOME THIS TYPE OF ROCK WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT AND PRESSURE
MARBLE
THIS IS THE TERM FOR MOLTEN ROCK BENEATH EARTH'S SURFACE
MAGMA
THIS METAL IS OFTEN USED IN ELECTRONICS AND COMES FROM THE EARTH
COPPER
THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS CONTRIBUTES TO THIS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE
CLIMATE CHANGE OR GLOBAL WARMING
SOALR PANELS ARE ANA EXAMPLE OF USING THIS TYPE OF ENERGY
RENEWABLE ENERGY
