Volcanoes
How many types of lava are created? (Think about the toothpaste and honey activity).
Thin lava and thick lava
What type of rock has other rocks and sediments inside of it?
Sedimentary Rocks.
Water and wind occur. What is happening to the rocks on Earth's surface?
Weathering/erosion.
What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources?
Renewable cannot be used up, and nonrenewable can be used up.
When a rock falls downhill, what could happen to it? (2 answers needed)
Break apart, round out (edges break off), and become smaller.
What is the difference between Magma and Lava?
Lava is above Earth's surface and Magma is below Earth's surface
What rocks are formed from extreme heat and pressure?
Igneous Rock.
The rock is being carried from one place to another. How can this happen?
Birds, humans, water flow from a river.
An example of a renewable energy is ____.
Sunlight, wind, hydropower (water movement propelling turbines).
What would be the difference between rocks at the top of the mountain and rocks at the bottom of the mountain?
The rocks at the top would be sharper and bigger. the rocks at the bottom would be smaller and more round.
How does magma emerge from Earth's surface?
Through cracks of Earth's crust and with pressure pushing it out.
What type of rock is formed from moderate heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock.
Heat and pressure occurs. Where is the rock? (Bonus point: what kind of rock is formed?)
In the volcano. (Bonus: Metamorphic)
A nonrenewable source of energy is ____.
Coal, oil, natural gas
What kind of erosion takes the longest amount of time? (Think back to the cookie activity with the water, toothpick, and Qtip.)
Wind Erosion
What are the two types of volcanoes?
Shield and Cone volcanoes.
What rock is formed by pressure that has noticeable layers?
Sedimentary rock.
Lava flows from the volcano. What part of the cycle is the rock at now? (Bonus point: what kind of rock has been made?)
The rock is at the mountain part of the cycle. (Bonus: Igneous rock)
How do we get the energy to power our lights?
Mining for coal, or using other renewable sources.
What are the three kinds of erosion? (Think back to the cookie activity with the water, toothpick, and Qtip.)
Human erosion, water erosion, and wind erosion.
Which volcano has thick, pasty lava that makes a mountain shape?
Cone volcano has the thick lava.
What type of rock has ribbon-like layers?
Metamorphic rock.
The rock settles at the bottom of the ocean or lake. Pressure occurs over time. What kind of rock is formed?
Sedimentary rock.
How does mining for coal affect our environment?
Can contaminate soil/water, disturbs habitats, and/or uses up all of the nonrenewable source(s) of energy.
When rocks are broken apart, the smaller parts are called ___.
Sediments.
