The Rock Cycle
100
Both are formed by uplift.
What are mountains and plateaus
100
Can be observed by how easily it scratched by another mineral.
What is Hardness
100
The thin, rocky, outer layer of Earth.
What is the crust
100
Igneous rock, Metamorphic rock, and Sedimentary rock
What are the three major rock groups
100
When magma cools it turns into this rock.
What is Igneous Rock
200
Temporary features that must have sediment added constantly in order to exist.
What are beaches
200
By picking up two rocks and one of them being heavier tells that the heavier one is an example of what mineral physical property
What is Density
200
Thick middle layer of Earth it is also beneath the crust.
What is the mantle
200
Processes at Earth's surface break down rocks, changing them chemically and physically.
What are Sedimentary rocks
200
Heat and pressure change Igneous Rocks into what kind of rock.
What is a Metamorphic Rock
300
Water, wind, ice, and gravity wear this landform down.
What are Mountains
300
When you rub a rock on the ground it makes this physical property which the color of the powder will help identify a rock.
What is Streak
300
A layer of molten metal.
What is the Outer Core
300
Solid rocks that are squeezed, heated, or exposed to fluids, changing them into new rocks.
What is a Metamorphic rocks
300
Sedimentary rocks turn into this rock when adding heat and pressure.
What are Metamorphic Rocks
400
This landform was carved into U-shape by a glacier.
What is Yosemite Valley
400
If the rock/mineral breaks along smooth, flat surfaces, it has...
What is Clevage
400
The crust and the uppermost mantle make up this layer.
What is the Lithosphere
400
The particles that make up a rock are mainly made up of any of these three things
What are mineral crystals, broken bits of minerals, or rock fragments
400
There are many of these in the rock cycle.
What are pathways
500
This volcano is part of the Cascade Mountain Range.
What is Lassen Peak
500
If a mineral breaks along rough or irregular surfaces displays this
What is fracture
500
Plastic, but still mostly solid, layer of the mantle.
What is the Asthenosphere
500
Many things on Earth are made up of this natural, solid mixture of particles.
What are rocks
500
Can take many thousands to many millions of years.
