Igneous Rocks
Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.
What is a volcano?
This is the small bits of rock that make up sedimentary rocks--all sedimentary rocks are made from this.
What is sediment?
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are heat and pressure?
This the plate boundary that creates the pressure between two plates coming together, causing metamorphic rock to form
What is convergent boundary?
This forms when magma has a long time to cool.
What is large crystals?
These are the rocks that can become a sedimentary rock.
What is igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks?
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?
In order to become an Igneous rock, other rocks need to first turn into this.
What is magma?
The process of any rock breaking down into small pieces of rock, called sediment
What is weathering?
Metamorphic rocks get their name also from the latin word "morph", meaning this.
What is "to change" or "to change form"?
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock
What is a igneous rock?
This is the word Scientists used for molten rock that has reached Earth's surface, causing an extrusive rock
What is lava?
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What are intrusive and extrusive?
This is the process that turns sediment into sedimentary rock?
What is compaction?
Other than a convergent plate boundary, this is the location on Earth where metamorphic rocks can form
What is deep in Earth's crust?
This is the energy source needed to make igneous rock (this also causes the mantle to stay molten)
What is Earth's core?
This is the energy source that powers the process of weathering on Earth's surface (makes plants grow, causes wind, causes the water cycle)
What is the Sun?
This is the type of plate boundary where volcanoes forma and Igneous rocks can be formed.
What is convergent plate boundary?
This is the location where most sedimentary rocks are formed.
What is water?
This is the plate boundary that causes crust to push against each other to create heat and pressure.
What is convergent boundary?
This is the direction rocks take on the rock cycle diagram when changing from one form to another
What is ANY direction?
This is the name and type of ANY category of rock.
