The Rock Cycle
This is the name of the set of processes by which one rock type changes into another.
What is the rock cycle?
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of this molten material.
What is magma or lava?
Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction and cementation of this material.
What is sediment?
Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks undergo changes due to changes in these two things.
What are heat and pressure?
This video-sharing app with a clock adjacent name is popular with teens and young adults.
What is TikTok?
This type of rock forms when melted material cools and solidifies.
What is igneous rock?
Igneous rocks that cool slowly underground, forming large crystals, are called this.
What are intrusive (plutonic) rocks?
This type of sedimentary rock forms from the remains of living things.
What is an organic sedimentary rock? OR What is a bioclastic sedimentary rock?
These metamorphic rocks show layers or bands due to the alignment of minerals.
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
This sport uses a hoop, a backboard, and a round ball.
What is basketball?
Heat and pressure deep inside Earth turn existing rocks into this type.
What are metamorphic rocks?
This fine-grained, mafic, extrusive igneous rock forms from lava that cools quickly.
What is basalt?
Sandstone, formed from cemented sand-sized particles, is an example of this sub-type of sedimentary rock.
What is a clastic sedimentary rock?
Slate commonly forms from this parent rock.
What is shale?

What is The Hunger Games?
This material forms when rocks weather and break into small pieces.
What is sediment?
A rock like granite, with large visible crystals, is said to have this type of texture.
What is coarse-grained (phaneritic) texture?
Rocks like limestone that form when minerals precipitate from water are part of this group.
What are chemical sedimentary rocks?
Marble forms when this sedimentary rock undergoes metamorphism.
What is limestone?
This U.S. State is known as the Sunshine State.
What is Florida?
This is the driving energy force of the rock cycle and powers processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation.
What is external Solar Energy OR What is energy from the Sun?
This igneous texture forms when lava cools so quickly that crystals do not have time to form.
What is glassy texture?
This process “glues” sediment grains together with dissolved minerals.
What is cementation?
