Rocks
The difference between magma and lava.
What is magma is underground and lava is above ground?
The conditions that form a metamorphic rock.
What are heat and pressure?
What is weathering?
The conditions that turns any type of rock into a metamorphic rock.
What are heat and pressure?
What the prefix "Geo" means.
What is "Earth"?
The 2 conditions that form an igneous rock.
What is melting then cooling & hardening?
The part of the metamorphic process that deforms rocks.
What is heat and pressure?
The moving of rock to a new location.
What is erosion?
The process that turns any type of rock into sediments.
What is weathering?
What the term "Geologic" means.
What is "the study of Earth"?
This happens because intrusive rocks cool slower than extrusive rocks and therefore spend more time in the crystallization phase.
What is larger crystals get formed?
This type of rock can become a metamorphic rock.
What is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic?
Broken pieces of rock.
The process that turns any type of rock into an igneous rock.
What are melting then cooling & hardening?
Where the newest layers of a sedimentary rock are found.
What is on the top?
What is an extrusive rock?
The term for the change in appearance of a rock.
What is deformation?
The 2 process for sediments being laid down and then forming layers.
What are deposition and sedimentation?
The 2 processes that transport sediments and then lays them down in a new location.
What are erosion and deposition?
Where the oldest layers of a sedimentary rock are found.
What is the bottom?
An igneous rock that cools beneath Earth's surface.
What is an intrusive rock?
The lines on a metamorphic rock look different than on a sedimentary rock because of this.
What is deformation from heat and pressure (partial melting and squishing)?
The 2 processes that take layered pieces of rock and turn them into a sedimentary rock.
What are compaction and cementation?
The reason it is called The Rock Cycle.
What is rocks are always changing forms (or the processes never end)?
The term for the different layers of a sedimentary rock.
What is strata?
