This is the difference between magma and lava.
What is that magma that has reached the surface is called lava?
These are pools of water that are heated by very hot rocks sitting above magmas.
What are hot springs?
Geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least this high.
What is 1,000 feet?
These rocks are formed by the settling of sediments into layers.
What are sedimentary rocks?
This is the process by which rocks are broken down and changed by the environment
What is weathering?
This type of volcano has erupted in the past 10,000 years and will likely erupt again
What is an active volcano?
These are hot springs that periodically erupt.
What is a geyser?
These mountains are created after a volcano erupts, when lava and ash flow over the sides are harden into a mountains.
What is a volcanic mountain?
These rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies.
What are igneous rocks?
This is the process of force that moves sediment to a new location .
What is erosion?
This type of volcano has erupted a long time ago but could erupt again.
What is a dormant volcano?
To technically be classified as a hot spring, the thermal water must be hotter that this.
What is the human body (98.7°F)?
These mountains are created when magma wells up below the surface.
What are dome mountains?
These rocks are formed when other types of rocks are exposed to extreme heat and pressure.
What are metamorphic rocks?
These are the two types of weathering.
What are physical and chemical?
This type of volcano has not erupted for at least 10,000 years.
What is an extinct volcano?
This geyser in Yellowstone National Park is famous for its frequent and timely eruptions.
What is Old Faithful?
These mountains are created when the crust shifts so one piece of rock fold on top of another.
What are fold mountains?
What are fine- grained and coarse- grained rocks?
This is the type of weathering that occurs when the minerals ARE changed.
What is chemical weathering?
These two things cause magma to erupt from the volcano.
What are pressure and heat?
This is the cause of the rainbow coloring is Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Hot Spring?
What are bacteria?
These mountains are formed by shifting tectonic plates from which pieces are broken off; some are driven up and others down by the force of the moving plates.
What are Fault- block mountains?
This is the rock that forms when limestone has been exposed to high heat and pressure.
What is marble?
These are the four causes of erosion.
What are water, ice, wind, and gravity?
