Deposition/Weathering/erosion
Weathering definition
What is the processes that change objects on the Earth's surface over time.
What a sedimentary rock is
Rocks made from layers and layers of other rocks.
What a metamorphic rock is/Metamorphism
What is when a rock is changed by extreme heat and pressure OR What is a process that affects the structure and/or the composition of a rock.
Igneous rock definition
What is cooled magma/lava that crystallized.
the fragments that make up a rock
What is grains.
Deposition definition
What is the laying down of eroded material.
How sedimentary rocks form (hint: the two steps of sedimentary rock formation)
What is compaction and cementation.
also...
What is when sediment layers are crushed together and minerals crystallize in the gaps.
How metamorphic rock forms
What is a rock is bended and changed by heat and pressure.
How Igneous rock forms
What is lava/magma cools and then minerals crystallize.
The difference between foliated and nonfoliated rocks
Foliated rocks have a grains with a random, interlocking texture, and Nonfoliated rocks contain parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals.
Erosion Definition
The removal of weathered material from one location to another.
The two types of sedimentary rock.
What is chemical and biochemical sediment rock.
What is temperature and pressure.
The two types of igneous rock
What is Extrusive and Intrusive.
The difference between contact and regional metamorphism
Contact is when magma comes into contact with existing rock, affecting surrounding rock, and regional metamorphism is the formation of metamorphic rock bodies extending over hundreds of square kilometers.
A similarity between Deposition and Erosion (More that one answer)
What is they both move rocks.
The definitions of chemical and Biochemical rock
Chemical: When the minerals crystallize directly from water.
Biochemical: When the sedimentary rock was formed by or contains the remnants of organisms.
Define Magma/lava and their differences
What is molten/liquid rock, and lava is magma on the surface, and magma is molten/ liquid rock underground.
Uplift definition
The vertical elevation of Earth's surface.
Who is the nicest (in my opinion) teacher in 6th grade (hint: science and religion.)
Mrs. Guinotte.
The two types of Weathering and their definitions
What is...Mechanical Weathering: When physical processes naturally break down rocks into smaller pieces.
Chemical Weathering: Changes the materials that are part of a rock into new materials.
Two sedimentary rocks
Some are... Limestone and coal.
Two igneous rocks
Some are... Gneiss and Marble.
Two igneous rocks
Some are... What is obsidian and Pumice.
Name the rock cycle in order starting with Weathering.
