Rock Cycle
Over much time, if enough _____________ and ____________ build up around the old rock, it will eventually transform into a new metamorphic rock, like marble, quartz, or slate.
What is Heat and pressure?
The main four layers of the earth in order from surface to center are:
What is Crust, Mantle, Outer core, Inner core
Name the five physical layers in order from surface to inside.
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core, Inner Core
What type of rocks would most likely have fossils?
What is Sedimentary Rock?
What does igneous rocks form from in a volcano?
What is Magma?
The Inner core is mainly liquid.
What is False?
Which layer has the lowest density?
What is Crust?
In the Rock Cycle, how is metamorphic rock formed and what can they create?
Heating and Pressure; Crystals
When rocks and minerals are worn and broken down into small particles by water, wind, or ice, the resulting particles are called?
What is Sediments?
What is Asthenosphere?
What is the outer and inner core composed of?
What is Iron and Nickel?
How can Sedimentary rock transform into Igneous rock?
What is by Melting, Cooling and Hardening?
When rocks underground become exposed to the ______________ heat resulting from geological processes occuring in the Earth Interior, they can actually melt.
What is Intense Heat?
True or False:
The deeper you go past the Earth's surface the higher the pressure is.
What is True?
This layer contains most of Earth's mass.
Inner Core
Mantle
Outer Core
Crust
What is Mantle?
Which of these rocks is an metamorphic rock?
a. basalt b. sandstone c. marble d. limestone
What is Marble?
Sedimentary rocks form near the _________ of the Earth. It can take a lot of ___________, but eventually, if sediments become compacted by ___________ from the weight of water or overtopping Earth, they can solidify into rocks like limestone, sandstone and shale.
What is Sedimentary rocks form near the surface of the Earth. It can take a lot of time, but eventually, if sediments become compacted by pressure from the weight of water or overtopping Earth, they can solidify into rocks like limestone, sandstone and shale.
The ______________ is the outermost, rocky, solid shell of the Earth's surface. It includes the crust and the rigid part of the upper mantle.
What is the Lithosphere?
Describe the movement happening.... you started where there is liquid nickel and iron, next you move to where it is the thickest layer on earth, then lastly moving to where it is solid and extreme pressure.
What is Outer Core, Mantle, Inner Core?
Describe the process of how an igneous rock can transform into a sedimentary rock.
Volcanoes bring material up from earth's mantle to the surface. Then it becomes Weathered, Eroded, and Deposited. Lastly, Compacted and Cemented.
