Toss Up
100
this is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
What is a rock?
100
These are two types of textures for igneous rocks
What are coarse-grained and fine-grained?
100
This is how sedimentary rock turns into metamorphic rock
What is with heat and pressure?
100
These two things affect the formation of metamorphic rocks
What are temperature and pressure?
100
This is the process in which water, wind, ice, and heat break down rock
What is weathering?
200
this is a series of processes in which rock forms, changes from one type to another, is destroyed, and forms again by geologic processes
What is the rock cycle?
200
These three things affect the formation of magma
What are pressure, temperature, and composition?
200
This is where chemical sedimentary rocks come from
What is from solutions of dissolved minerals and water?
200
These are the two classifications of metamorphic rocks
What are contact and regional?
200
this is the process of water, wind, ice, and gravity moving sediments
What is erosion?
300
These are the bands formed in metamorphic rocks
What is foliated?
300
This is how igneous rock can turn into sedimentary rock
What is with weathering and erosion?
300
These are the three classifications of sedimentary rocks
What are clastic, chemical, and organic?
300
This is the process metamorphic rock goes through to turn into magma
What is melting?
300
this is the movement within the Earth that causes rocks inside the Earth to be moved to the Earth’s surface
What is uplift?
400
These are the sedimentary rock layers
What are strata?
400
rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath Earth's surface
What is intrusive igneous rock?
400
This is the process in which sedimentary rocks form in layers
What is stratification?
400
This type of metamorphism happens close to magma pools
What is contact metamorphism?
400
This process turns magma into igneous rock
What is cooling?
500
this is the process in which material is laid down
What is deposition?
500
this is rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of lava at Earth's surface
What is extrusive igneous rock?
500
This is what organic sedimentary rocks are made of
What is dead plants and animals?
500
This type of metamorphism happens when pressure builds up deep inside the Earth; sometimes as deep as 16km
What is regional?
500
These are all of the steps of the rock cycle
What is weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction/cementation, metamorphism, melting, cooling, solidification?
