The process of rocks changing into other kinds of rock.
What is the rock cycle
100
The layers of the Earth
What is crust, mantle, core (inner core and outer core)
100
The thin outermost layer of the earth
What is the crust
100
molten rock above ground.
What is lave
200
The three types of rocks formed during the rock cycle
What is igneous, sedimentary, and metamorpic
200
formed when magma cools and hardens.
What is igneous rocks
200
How did the parts of the M&M match up to the earth?
What is
Candy shell - crust
Chocolate - mantle
Peanut - core
200
A shaking of the earth caused by plate movement or by volcanoes
What is an earthquake
200
the process by which solid, liquid, and gaseous materials are ejected into the earth’s atmosphere and onto the earth’s surface by volcanic activity.
What is eruption
300
Hard rocks that have large or small crystals that you can see. The grains fit together tightly and cannot be scraped off the surface. Some of these rocks have holes made by gas bubbles (may look spongelike).
What is igneous rocks
300
Breaks down existing rock into tiny particles, forming sediment. Erosion moves the sediment to other places.
What is weathering.
300
Three ways the M&M and the Earth are alike.
What is all different colors, parts are edible, have layers
300
The iron and nickel nucleus of the earth. The liquid outer layer surrounds the solid hot inner layer. (Name both layers)
What is the core.
300
the thick layer of earth between the crust and the core.
What is the mantle
400
The two types of rocks that have layers; one straight and one wavy.
What is sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
400
Formed when sediment is squeezed together and cemented. These rocks have flat layers (straight layers) that you can see and may contain fossils. They are usually softer than other types of rocks that look similar and the grains rub off easily. Sometimes these rocks have visible grains or crystals and sometimes they do not.
What is sedimentary rocks
400
Three ways the M&M is not like the Earth
What is (answers vary) smooth exterior, all edible, sweet, chocolate, egg shaped
400
the removal of fragmented rock or soil by gravity, water, wind, or glacial ice.
What is erosion
400
an observable characteristic of an object.
What is a property
500
An example of each type of rock; igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What is
Igneous: Granite, Obsideon, Pumice
Sedimentary: Limestone, Shale, Sandstone
Metamorphic: Marble, Mica, Slate, Schist, Quartzite
500
Formed when tremendous heat and pressure changes other rocks. These rocks have visible grains or crystals that can appear in wavy bands or layers.
What is metamorphic rocks.
500
Three ways the Earth is not like an M&M.
What is (answers vary) Not all parts are edible, almost round but buldges at the equator, contains dirt and rocks, conducive to life
500
a naturally occurring inorganic material with a crystalline structure. Rocks are made of these.
What is mineral
500
a vent in the earth’s crust from which molten rock, hot steam, and other materials may emerge.
