Wild Card!!!
100
vibrations caused by the release of energy from an Earthquake.
What are seismic waves?
100
igneous rocks formed from lava erupted onto Earth's surface.
What are extrusive rocks?
100
most of these rocks are formed from a process of weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What are sedimentary rocks?
100
weathering and erosion break down rocks into sediment so that they can become sedimentary rocks.
How do surface events effect the rock cycle?
100
the grains in these rocks lie in patterns of flat layers or in swirls or colored bands.
What are banded rocks?
200
The layer of rock that forms Earth's outer skin.
What is the crust?
200
granite is used for this purpose.
What igneous rocks are used as building materials?
200
the process by which sediments settle out of the wind or water carrying it.
What is deposition?
200
the enormous pieces of Earth's crust that are broken up like a giant eggshell.
What are tectonic plates?
200
a rock that forms form pieces of rocks or the remains or plants and animals cemented (or glued) together.
What are sedimentary rocks?
300
the uppermost part of the mantle where the rock is very similar to the crust above it.
What is the lithosphere?
300
any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat and/or pressure is this type of rock.
What are metamorphic rocks?
300
a sedimentary rock formed when rock fragments are squeezed together.
What is a clastic rock?
300
a series of processes that occur on Earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one form to another.
What is the rock cycle?
300
How can you get 300 points???
YOU MUST DANCE!
400
The flow that transfers heat within a fluid. It is caused by the heating and cooling of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the force of gravity.
What is a convection current?
400
this describes the thin flat layering found in most metamorphic rocks and is similar to a banded rock.
What is a foliated rock?
400
this type of sedimentary rock is formed when remains of animals and plants are deposited in layers.
What are organic rocks?
400
Heating, pressure, melting, and volcanic activity cause metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks to form and sometimes melt.
How do sub-surface (beneath the surface) events affect the rock cycle?
400
heat transferred when two objects touch.
What is conduction?
500
geologists use the size, shape, and pattern of the rock’s grains.
How do geologists describe a rock's texture?
500
an igneous rock that has formed in the interior of Earth.
What is an intrusive rock?
500
this type of sedimentary rock forms when minerals dissolved in water solution crystallize.
What are chemical rocks?
500
When metamorphic rocks are melted down and become lava, they can then cool and become igneous rocks.
How could igneous rocks form in the rock cycles?
500
these rocks have grains that are so small you need a microscope to see them.
What are fine-gained rocks?
